The Best Western is in terrible condition and not maintained. The building is very loud, very thin walls, and you can hear everyone in the hallway/outside. The elevator was a bit concerning with an open, potentially hazardous open panel. I was very disappointed in this hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The area wasnt a bad place. Super cool area. There was a gentleman named Wallace that was amazing help. He was so amazing. But other than wallace my experience was terrible. I had to get 3 different rooms because they booked me into 2 rooms that had people laying in bed. All i got in return was a free breakfast. The breakfast is horrible. Bland, no taste to anything. Bacon tasted like it came out of the microwave along with the eggs. The french toast had no taste to it. Horrible place. Do not recommend ppl staying.
