Room was clean and spacious, beds were comfortable, staff were friendly. Breakfast was included and had a nice range of options such as scrambled eggs and varying meat, waffle bar and cereal, coffee and tea. Location is in walking distance of several good restaurants and bars, plus public transportation if you don't have a car. Parking lot is right out front but small. Cleaning staff did not appear to come in during my 3 night stay, which doesn't bother me. Instead they have a little sheet you can fill out and bring to the desk if you need more towels or coffee pods or what-have-you. Here is my only complaint- there are sheer curtains over the window only. The thicker curtains were only for decoration on the sides, framing the window, unable to be pulled closed because there was literally no track in the middle. Which meant the bright LED lights from the parking lot will be shining in your face all night. Terrible. Please, hotel owners, put the real curtains on a track that goes all the way across the window so we can pull them closed.

Dear Sirena,Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Best Western - On The Avenue. Impressing every guest with our comfortable accommodations and friendly service is always a top priority for us, so we're thrilled our commitment to this shone through during your visit. It's also great to read you were able to enjoy our delicious breakfast offerings and take advantage of our convenient location. However, we offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience you experienced in your room. There are black-out curtains in all the rooms. The Main curtains are Side-Drapes. They only cover 20% of the window on each side. Then there are Sheers which are see-through. They cover the entire window. Lastly, there are Blackout Blinds. They cover the entire window. Unfortunately, they must have been pushed back on each side, where you didn't see them. For that, I am very sorry. Hopefully, this didn't detract too much from your overall trip. The pleasure was all ours, and we hope you'll choose to visit us again in the future.Sincerely,Troy Tripi General Manager

Overall I was pleased with my stay at the hotel. Several local eateries were within a comfortable walking distance. It was also close to the nearby performing arts center. I wish that the facility had more onsite parking for guest. On a busy weekend the small lot fills up quickly and a guest will have to find parking on the street. Hotel also seemed to be located in a reasonable safe neighborhood.

The key card system was down the whole time. We needed to be escorted to room each time. Staff did the best they could. Corporate needs to upgrade. The parking is lacking. I had to park on the street. The next morning I had to go and put quarters in the meter so I wouldn’t be ticketed. Off street parking is misleading. Public tram isn’t as close as was lead to believe. Freezing temperatures and it was more than twice what was explained. (Received wind burn) It was clean and served a purpose. Kind staff.
