Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Rural hotel in the middle of nowhere. Staff was helpful. Room vas spacious and relatively modern. Hotel needs lot of work to modernise but i could see they slowly work on it. Bit disappointed with the bar and restaurant area and service. Bar was closed and when opened only some beverages were available. Menu printed and laminated paper is not was i would expect at 4star hotel. Menu was poor as well so ended up eating out. Bed was comfortable. Overall ok but bot what i would expect from 4 star hotel

Good value and nice rooms
Excellent beds and luxurious executive room. Receptionist/Bar lady was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. Nice breakfast . All in all good value. Please take extra care exiting the car park. We followed another car out not realising that we were going the wrong way on a dual carriageway . Luckily it was a quiet Sunday morning and mistake quickly resolved.

You get what you pay for
Good for the price and comfortable. A bit too far out of the way for a night out in town. The smell of sewage hit us as we walked into the reception. It was extremely hot in all corridors which made me feel nauseous. Would consider staying there again only as a quick find/cheap last resort

Great breakfast
I had not done the pre check in online as I was traveling where internet reception was not very good. It took time to check in at the machine and in the end, the person at the reception desk had to run back and forth from her computer. I feel that it would be more efficient if the receptionist just stayed at her computer to check in people like us rather than run back and forth. Beautiful room where breakfast was served. Nice bed, but bathroom's shower pressure was very poor.

Good value for money
Although, the room was quite spacious, and tidy, access to rooms was via series of stairs as there was no lift. I had to carry my luggage up the spiral stairs of not less than eight risers. I had a mild back pain afterwards. The extractor fan in the bathroom was too noisy. Although the switch is located at height, it's also interlocked with light, so switching the fan off also puts out the light. Overall, good value for money, self check-in, good food.

Best Western Htl & Spa- Misrepresentation
The Spa and swimming pool are shut for refurbishment. Was not mentioned on Hotels.com. The restaurant was shut to patrons due to private function. Not mentioned on Hotels.com. Pretty well disgusted with the fact that this is not mentioned on the website.
