Review of Best Western Stay (Sept 19–21, 2025)
I booked Best Western for my birthday stay from September 19–21 because of its great location, advertised amenities, and positive reputation. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing.
Upon check-in, I had to be moved four different times because of serious issues in each room:
• Room 1: Not cleaned (dirty fridge, dirty sheets, and even leftover underwear in the bathroom). The TV didn’t work, even after trying 8 different remotes.
• Room 2: Toilet didn’t work at all and the A/C had issues.
• Room 3: Strong bad odor, dusty, and paint everywhere.
• Room 4: Somewhat better but still showed a lot of unfinished renovation work.
Additional issues:
• Pool was closed, which was not listed on the website. I specifically booked here to enjoy the pool, especially in the hot weather.
• Hallways were hot and humid.
• Ice machines didn’t work on any floor except the first.
• Floors covered in plastic, which was a tripping hazard.
• Rooms had no dark shades, making it very difficult to sleep.
• A/C barely worked, making the rooms uncomfortable.
• Breakfast was poor — limited selection, undercooked food, and several other guests complained as well.
The only positive part of my stay was the two front desk agents, who were very nice and tried their best to help.
Overall, this was a horrible stay, especially for a hotel of this caliber, and definitely not what I expected when booking for a special occasion. Given the number of issues, I believe a full refund is more than reasonable for this experience.
