We were pleasantly surprised by our stay at this Best Western. Rooms were average, comfy and clean, and the rest of the amenities were excellent.

Nice patio area... more

I want a clean room, friendly front staff, hot breakfast, nice pool and spa and a place where we can sleep and not worry about the noisy guests upstairs or... more
