Nothing worked properly (our door didn't lock, the a/c didn't work, hair dryer didn't work) and the facilities were really run down. The breakfast was of very poor quality.

The check-in process was great, friendly staff person and provided all the information I needed for the stay. After that though it went downhill. the room was clean at first glance, but after that, I realized it was not that clean. The air filters were dirty. The HVAC unit sounded and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The paint looked like it was covering up other issues. Things were broken in the bathroom and room. The free breakfast was just that. I definitely felt that they were trying to promote themselves as a high-end Quality Inn, but instead, it appeared that they had opened before the building was ready. Not that many people there so I am not sure why they didn't just fixed rooms one at a time and put guest in the finished room.

The hotel has seen better days. The building and rooms appeared run down, the sheets and towels had older stains.

The breakfast was decent. The bed pillows were just throw pillows with pillow cases. They were very small. If anything, I’d suggest the hotel invest in some real pillows. Also, some staff were inspecting the halls at 5 am on a Sunday and were kind of loud. Would’ve been nicer if I had not been woken up so early

The immediate issue was that this place was booked under the name Best Western, but the address sent to me to a Quality Inn and I thought we were lost. We weren’t, they just need to update their information! The first night we were there, the air conditioner broke and by the next day it was making an awful and loud sound so we had to change rooms. Additionally in the first room, the bedding and the (white) washcloths were stained and simply looked dirty. The next day I was going to take my children swimming, but the indoor pool was disgusting and I refused to let them get into it. I was terribly disappointed in this hotel.

The room smell was really bad - couldn't open the window, and HVAC unit didn't provide fresh air. Stay away.

Smelled horrible
Our room smelled like smoke so badly that we checked out by 3 AM. The pillows, sheets, blankets and towels all smelled horrible too. We got zero sleep. When we first checked in, the receptionist told there were no other rooms available, but another couple checking in were offered their choice of 2 rooms. The receptionist that checked us out that night told us that there had been other rooms available.

This is a decent hotel that we have stayed at a few times. Better than I expected from a budget chain, though it recently changed owners. Let’s see if it keeps up the standard.

It's a nice hotel. For the price. I will stay there again. one thing I did not appreciate was not be allowed to check in even 30 minutes early. I was exhausted they had rooms ready and they still wouldn't let me check in. But I will stay there again

The nightstand was dirty from someone else’s drinks. Obviously hadn’t been wiped ... for quite some time as the clock there was dusty. Look down and the carpet obviously hasn’t been vacuumed. Pieces of ramen noodles on the counter by the bathroom sink, so that hasn’t been wiped either. Toilet rim has black stuff in it. Tub is gray and pink where it should be white. Shower curtain has brown stains in multiple places. Mold on the wall near the sink and toilet. ... I understand it’s not a luxury hotel, but they’re not even doing the basics to clean up in between guests. I can assume all they do is change the sheets and towels for the next people ?? At least I hope they did that much ... staff upon checkin was unprepared / unprofessional. At least 3 housekeeping staff were on break/eating/chatting with the front desk clerk who had poor personal hygiene/appearance and no uniform or work clothes (was wearing greasy hair in a messy bun and a black hoodie). She shouted down the hall to a manager to ask what rooms were ready. He seemed to act like this was all normal.... they’re under renovation but none of what I’m complaining of has anything to do with that. I will sooner stay in another town completely than at this hotel again GROSS

My room (and for others as well) wasn’t ready when I arrived so I had to wait in the lobby. The room had 3 pillows on one bed and 4 on the other. The bed scarf (don’t know what else to call that colorful band of material at the foot of the bed) was dirty on one of the beds. There was a dented hole in the wall next to one of the beds, several large scrapes on the walls and the bathroom looked unclean due to the worn deteriorated state of the floor tiles and stained looking tub.
Dent in wall
Scratches in paint (just one photo example)

Breakfast was terrible except for the coffee which was pretty good. Very very small selection, standard gravel scrambled (powdered?) eggs and turkey sausage. It was just a lame attempt at a breakfast every item as cheap as possible

Check in was at 3pm. I didn't actually check in until 7pm that night. The room was not cleaned from the previous guests. They said they would upgrade me to 2 queen beds and they were 2 full size beds. The bathrooms were not the cleanest. It was a place just rest your head for a quick stay. I would not recommend this facility. There were other guests at the desk with the same issues.

Overall, the stay was good though I will point out wanting to enjoy the relaxing hot tub and despite seeing the readings on the wall, noting what I believe to be the pH, there was a thick layer around the wall of the tub. This are needs to be addressed.

They didn't honor my Expedia reservation for the first night. Said they were booked solid. I did make that one right before our arrival but Expedia site showed they had rooms available. Our second night reservation which was booked in advance was honored but they put us in a room full of black mold on the ceiling. You could smell the mold from the hallway too. The clerk moved us without any problem which was good. How does a hotel not know they have a mold problem? I have pics to back this claim up.

The property was well maintained. However, one aspect that should be considered is the window does not have a dark curtain that can be drawn together to keep the light out at night and the room dark needed for a good nights sleep.

Best Western Radford- eat before you go
The breakfast was disappointing to say the least. There was a juice machine with no juice! Only water came out. There were English muffins and bread but of course the toaster was broken. There was some mini muffins but they were incredibly stale. The night before we arrived around 11:00 pm. Went to vending machine on our floor to get water? Mountain Dew dropped out! Thinking that maybe I had pushed the wrong button, I tried it once more only to get a 2nd Mountain Dew. Knowing that we sure couldn’t drink that and get any sleep I headed to lobby. Clerk apologized and have me 2 bottles of water. I then asked him if there was another vending machine so I could get a bag of chips. He said he wasn’t sure but I could try by the pool. So there we went.... the vending machine there had a sheet over it, apparently someone had broken all the glass out of it and taken all the chips. So if you want to stay here make sure you bring your own food and drink and be prepared to listen to the air conditioning coming on and off all night, has a delightful rattle and hum!
