Great downtown location and friendly staff. However, the room was not as clean as expected, and we found the beds quite hard. Overall, it was an average stay with a convenient location.

Can’t speak highly enough of the staff and management here. Kind, respectful, and go over and above expectations. I have been very pleased with the internet speed (working from here), and the room is very comfortable.

It is spacious, clean, and the breakfast is delicious, and it offers great value for money. There is a parking fee, but it is very convenient. Best Western is the best.

**Update on review: so instead of fixing the air conditioner like they said they would. They gave us a complimentary one bed apartment, for the rest of our stay. Our whole party is unable to be in this room, so one left behind in other room with a fan. We took the one bed, because it allowed us to get a good nights sleep, at least for two. This apartment did have a pull out couch but it looked pretty shady hence the other person stayed behind.*** When we arrived the air conditioner was turned on but the room was super hot. Asked front desk to fix it. The guy on staff tried but didn’t know what to do, he went and brought a fan and the fan didn’t even work. They said maintenance would be back the next day while we sleep in 30 degree heat. The next day came and we were out the full day and no one came to fix it. Went back to the front desk, sent someone else up to tell us what we knew already. They can’t even change the toilet paper roll. This had not been very good stay

The best hotel to stay. Hotel manager George is very professional, polite and frienly and helpful when it comes to customer service. Beds in the room were comfortable. Breakfast was very delicious and service was great. Location is near to all amenities. Highly recommend
