We stopped here last minute on a road trip and it was the nicest hotel of our 6 days!! Pool, Hot Tub, clean room, clean bathroom, all the amenities we needed. We were so impressed and it was affordable too. Would definitely stay there again and will be looking for Best Western Plus on more trips.

Abbie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Simple hotel room at outrageous cost

Graduation weekend in a University town drove hotel prices into crazy range (typical is $120 - we paid this weekend $450) rice in no way is in perspective with the accommodation. Pretty old hotel, all amenities in working order, but old and outdated. Highlight is the 24h coffee automatic in the lobby. This is splendit. The individually wrapped coffee plastic cups reminded of Covid times- also not necessary in my mind. Beds were clean and comfortable.
Sabine, 2-night trip
