Honestly, only booked this hotel because it was close to the airport. When checking in, the front desk told us we would have to uber/taxi to the airport on the morning because the van was booked and they only have 7 seats in their new van. Kinda disappointing. I suggest calling to book the van shuttle ahead if they even allow that, and I suggest calling for the hours of operation on the shuttle. Coming back from my trip, they wouldn’t pick us up because the shuttle only runs until 5pm. Also, super disappointing. That uber ride was 22$ back to the hotel. Paid to leave my car there from Wednesday- Sunday 42$. The first room they put us in had a water puddle on the ground coming from the bathroom to the front door, and smelled. But they were accommodating and moved us to another room

The room was ok. I had two rooms. One for my wife and I. D one for my son and his family. My son was settling in and had cockroaches in the bathroom. He asked for another room and they wanted to charge him a fee and were a little hesitant to give him one even after he showed them a picture. So not very happy at this point he did get another room but will probably not stay here again.

The front desk person was extremely friendly and nice. However, the actual room looked NOTHING like the pictures posted on Expedia. The couch had a huge burn hole in it; supposed to be non-smoking?!? In addition, the room smelled so musty that I had to run to the store to get air freshener. Combine that with the fact that they were re-caulking their tubs and put us on the floor surrounded by rooms that were being worked on. Couldn't the hotel have started working on one floor and put customers on another. The smell was HORRIBLE and gave me a terrible migraine. Sure, the room was less expensive, but we will definitely NOT stay here again and will look for another hotel in the area when flying out of Sanford Orlando airport.

The room smelt awful. It was a very deep expect or paint thinner smell. I asked to be moved from the room. Staff said they were doing some plumbing work. I noticed some of the rooms on 3 rd floors had signs not to enter. I couldn’t smell it in the lobby. So I believe he could have moved us down form the 3 rd floor. I finally put my night mask of cotton over my nose and mouth because the smell was upsetting my stomach. It helped . I didn’t get much sleep. Not a happy camper !!

The main issue with this hotel is that they would not reschedule my reservation and forced me to pay for an extra night. They have water issues and rooms that are not available due to problems with room conditions. I will NEVER stay here again. I always thought that Best Western hotels had high standards, but this hotel has changed my view of this entire brand.
