No towels in room. Breakfast late; no plates and no cups for hot coffee. Juice machine not working. Overall the facility is very attractive, but the management of this Best Western leaves much to be desired. I have had very good experiences at other Best Westerns, and will continue to consider Best Western in future travel plans, however, I will never stay at this facility again. Best Western Corporate leadership needs to thoroughly review the management of this facility. Recommend a “secret traveler” or equivalent, to obtain effective insight into what travelers experience at this facility.

Be Warned
“Get what you pay for”, well in this case not even that. Room we booked was unavailable, so settled for a room without sofa bed. No towels in the room, only got three total towels for a family of four and one was floor towel. Every trash can in the compound was full so guest are leaving trash on tables. Hotels.com customer rep couldn’t provide solution for room downgrade at the hotel. This just the short version, way more to mention….

Terrible breakfast and only 1 towel in the room.
Room only had 1 towel provided. 2 people were in this room for 3 days and only 1 towel was provided. Breakfast was not what the photos show. When I went at 7 am on Wednesday all I saw was eggs, Waffles, and bread for toast. Drink machine was not working either. I was not impressed at all.

We checked in 40 minutes late, our room was still not cleaned. We asked for a late check out and we were harassed continuously until we checked out, by staff-someone even tried to enter when our deadbolt was set. No coffee cups at all for breakfast, no food was available at all. This was not a great experience. And littered all over the grounds were people on drugs, doing them in the their cars passed out around the grounds. Unacceptable.

We actually had to leave a few hours after checkin due to safety. We were followed from hotel lobby as we were walking to our room so did a detour back to outside seating area. Continued to be watched and stalked. Very shady men just hanging out in parking lot too. We finally quickly grabbed our bags and tan to car. Then dropped off key at front desk. Did not feel safe at all. Room at hole in wall, sugar ants on counter, strong smoke scent and really really run down. I am sure we were charged for room but the quick exit was worth a good night sleep in a safe area.

Terrible‼️
There was no Wi-Fi, and if it did hit, it was extremely minimal. Could not do any work. There were no towels upon arriving, and the towels did not show up until the day of checkout, which was 3 days later. Said that they were just out of everything. Do not recommend.

Not the cleanest
The rooms are never the cleanest. On several occasions I have found paraphernalia in the drawers or under mattresses, I travel with my own sheets because I don’t trust hotel bedding so I tend to find lots of things from moving things around. I assume this is the reason the lighting outside is brighter than daylight when your trying to sleep flood lights are beaming from all directions.

Friendly staff - Horrible Wi-Fi
Clean room, nice helpful staff. the wi-fi would go out every 5019 minutes all evening and all morning. made it impossible to do any work. called the desk several times and they apologized but were unable to do anything. if you require wi-fi i would consider staying elsewhere. also the pool was supposed to close at 10pm and at 11:15 families with screaming kids were still out and about. The spotty and nearly inoperative wi-fi is a deal breaker for me.
