Friendly front-desk. Clean room and bathroom. Uncomfortable bed that sinks. Poor lighting in the room. Great shower. Avoid their cafe, the hot beverages tasted bad, better options for coffee in the city.

Basic, but clean. There was a little bit of a bait and switch on the room amenities, but that was Hotel.com and not Best Western's fault. I booked a room with a fridge, but that was not reflected in my receipt. Lots of street noise and construction at night for the first few nights I was there. Hard to sleep.

We checked in and discovered our room had no CENTRAL heat. As this was a cold December - They provided us a floor space heater. We asked to move and they told us this was last room in hotel. Since it was11 pm we had to take it. We asked for a discount and they said no. I would not stay here again as the mgt response was not appropriate for a $700 a night hotel room.
