I paid a lot of money to stay here for one night because this hotel advertised a pool and hot tub , however, after my husband and I checked in we saw that the hot tub was completely drained and unavailable for use.. Then my husband and I tried to take a hot shower in our room and there was no hot water from the shower so we were forced to take a cold shower… Very disappointed…

The hotel needs a lot of updating (carpet, wallpaper, beds, etc.). The pool room is very nice. Though there was a wad of hair caught in the hot tub drain.

Was looking for a hotel with a pool and hot tub to soak sore muscles after snowboarding for two days. Called to ensure their hot tub was working only to arrive and it was not even lukewarm! Very upset and disappointing! Complete misrepresentation and when I called to complain the front desk person said that “it was warm.” LIAR! A hot tub should be a minimum of 100 degrees. Requested discount and was told none would be given. The breakfast was mediocre with apple juice and cranberry juice tasting like water plus no microwave! Won’t ever stay at a Best Western again.
