We stayed at the Best Western October 29, 2011. Our room had a king bed, sofa, and kitchenette. It was very reasonably priced (we got a 15% discount for paying with our American Express card), clean and centrally located. In the morning there was a free hot breakfast, which was a very nice addition. We would stay here again, it... More

Don't be fooled by the exterior of this hotel. It looks like a high rise apartment and likely was at one time. The hotel staff are competent but the service wasn't exceptional You need your room key to go up the elevator which I like the added security. I've stayed in a few rooms including queen bed with a bathroom,... More

My two bedroom suite looked nice enough at first glance, but once I started to settle in, the amount of grossness became apparent. Mysterious stains on the curtains and sofa, scratches and marks all over the furniture, and a TV that was about to blow a fuse were just the start of it all. But it gets grosser... I pulled... More

The Good: I have serious issues with cleanliness and organization. I am neurotic when it comes to sleeping in hotels. It usually takes one hour for me to inspect, disinfect, and organize everything. I turn the entire room upside down to ensure that there are no bed bugs (mattresses are flipped and furniture is moved). My face turned into a... More

I usually stay at Marriott hotels for business, a friend of mine who has been staying at this Best Western told me to give it a try. I was hesitant to do so, however gave a shot. Wow , I was greatly impressed by the staff, they go out of their way to assist. I also liked the free underground... More
