Hotel's Favorite
I’ve stayed at this Best Western in the past and it’s still just as wonderful as before. They have the best staff with the warmest hearts! Not to mention the best cookies at check in. It’s easy to make a reservation and you can actually speak with someone at the hotel regarding any questions or concerns. How do I go about buying one of their beds and pillows? It’s the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in! I had the best sleep in a long while after a long road trip. Why should you stay here? They have all the amenities you need and overlooking a golf course. It’s just a wonderful place to get away and unwind!

The hotel was clean and updated. The pool and restaurant were available and the grab and go breakfast was better then most hotels. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. I would recommend this property and hope to visit the area again. But what is the story of the decorative toilets on Main Street?

Wendy at the Canton NY location, was amazing. My stay was a last minute plan & with my dog. With all the Covid regulations going on, they made sure they kept it safe for everyone. While I was there, there was a snow storm and what was nice is that my daughter and I didn’t have to leave the building, because they had a pub or restaurant that you could go to.

Bar/Restaurant closes at 9 and no bar now. Meals way too expensive. Without that amenity, this hotel has lost its advantage. Also, a fire alarm at 9 a.m. That's a horrible and arbitrary way to treat guests.
