    The listing says they have a hot tub, but manager says it was taken out years ago, during a renovation of the property. You might want to delete that there is a hot tub! Otherwise, all was great!!

    We checked in on a Thurs afternoon and the staff member on duty at the front desk was great. He was very gracious and made us feel right at home. When our driver needed help locating the hotel due to construction going on, the staff member got on the phone and gave him directions. Other staff members for the rest of our stay were also very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the waffles and yogurt for breakfast.

    The hotel itself is great! Very clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were dark and ac worked perfectly! Great water pressure. The staff were all very friendly and helpful! My kids loved the pool. Breakfast was average. Plenty of parking spaces available. The construction on I35 is a nightmare.

    I stayed for 3 days and on my last day I called the front desk to request clean towels. The person at the front desk asked if I was checking out that day, and when I said yes, he told me I could come and get the towels myself. I found this very upsetting and unprofessional, especially since housekeeping staff was already present. As a paying guest, I expected basic customer service and assistance during my stay until checkout time.

  • Badri May 2026 · via expedia
    4/5

    The staff was very helpful. However, the sheets were not completely white and, along with a few towels, did not seem freshly washed—they might just be old. Don't expect any bottled water or coffee, as everything here is very basic. Overall, it is fine for a one- or two-night stay for adults.

    The hotel room was clean and orderly. The checkin and stay were pleasant. Breakfast was delicious with a few featured options. Staying so close to the construction wasn't great, but running the fan all night was helpful. We were pleased with the price and the hotel. There weren't any homeless people nearby. It was a great place to sleep.

    Check in was fine, receptionist was friendly. I booked 2 rooms for 3 nights. Both rooms smelled very bad and the carpeting was soaking wet. We left our luggage in the rooms and went out to visit family in the area and when we returned, the one way road to the the hotel was closed for overnight construction work. There was no way to get back to hotel. I called hotel to get instructions on a back way to get to hotel, which involved cutting through parking lots and driving wrong way on a one- way road for a short bit. Finally made it to the hotel only to find room even more smelly. The smell was a bit overwhelming. I expressed my concern at the office and was told I had to talk to the manager the next day. I gave up and dealt with smelly room for the rest of the stay. The carpet finally did dry by the 3rd day. Also, there was no cleaning/maid service. No clean towels or bed making the entire 3 days.

    The food was good. On the weekend they serve hot food: scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausages, etc. On weekdays they only have cold foods and waffles. You better get down there earl enough, once the food is gone, even if it is before the quitting time for breakfast, it is gone.

    Unfortunately, the cleanliness was a big issue. There was pubic hair in the bathroom, and the shelves and drawers looked like they had not been dusted in a long time. I ended up using some of the provided towels to clean parts of the room before I could even unpack. Also, the motel is located on a one-way street, which made access a little less convenient. Overall, the room had good space and decent features, but the lack of cleanliness was very disappointing.

    We contacted the front desk and requested fresh sheets. While they did provide new ones, we were simply handed the sheets and had to change the bedding ourselves, which is not what I would expect from a hotel stay. Overall, the cleanliness and service did not meet expectations, and I hope improvements are made to ensure a better experience for future guests.

    This was more a motel than a hotel. AC had been off before we arrived and room was damp and smelled damp. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was minimum, sort of greasy. We were in a construction area and right off the highway and busy commercial space. It did not live up to the rating it had on Expedia.

    Expedia changed my check in date as soon as i set up itinerary itinerary. Tried to cancel to reschedule, and it wouldnt let me cancel. I drive 8 hrs, got to hotel. Explained to checkin clerk. He said hes not responsible for expedia. Tried to contact expedia, got the run around. Asked for supervisor. Came back to phone and said supervisor busy and cant talk to me at that time. I am gone for a while, so when i get home, expedia will get a letter, and BBB will get my complaint, cause instead of $88 hotel, i had to pay $150 plus the $88 for A night that i wasnt even staying in. So look for my letter in the mail.

    Never received my deposit back. The rooms are not as advertised. And be aware it’s outside door access. Not interior hall. The owner will find every single thing he can to try to charge you for something. What blew my mind was being checked in already from the prior day. Had rented two rooms. Extended the stay, and was demanded to pay an early check in fee. I was already checked in. In the rooms. Not needing house keeping. Absurd. The attitude that came along with it was astounding. He was mad that I booked through hotels. Said he would give me a better rate. So I tried that. Unbeknownst to me, I was charged 39$ over the original rate that hotels gave. And charged an additional 50$ deposit. That never came back. I was told it would be back in 3-5 days. I waited to review until that timeframe. Well. No return. Bad review. And all the bs laid out so others can be warned. The rooms are also sub par cleaned. Had to clean the bathrooms myself. Towels are hard crusty disasters. Just another establishment squeezing Pennie’s out of people. I’ll be contacting best western corporate for my deposit and to file a complaint
