"Excellent hotel!"

Best Western Premier Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay overall and would definitely return! We stayed in the two-room King Suite with a balcony, and the room was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. Having the extra living space made the suite feel roomy and accommodating, and the balcony was a nice added feature. The room met our expectations in terms of layout and amenities. My only real concerns were the mattress, which could have been more comfortable, and the pillows, which were rather lumpy and could use replacing. The mattress was extremely firm. A little improvement in the bedding would make an already great room even better. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and were very pleased with the accommodations. Despite the minor issues with the mattress and pillows, I would happily stay here again and would recommend it to others!"
