Don’t stay here
Front staff was wonderful. Room wasn’t clean, towels are old with holes, hot water didn’t work, furniture was filthy and dated. This hotel should be rated no more than a 2 star at best

I wish all Best Westerns were like this.
My daughter and I had an amazing time at this hotel. This'is the only Best Western I'll stay in anytime I drive to Florida. Attached restaurant had wonderful salad and chicken wings. The pool is not heated so keep that in mind and the hot tub jets or not working but it was plenty hot. This place exceeded my expectations.

The water took about 10 minutes or more to warm up for a shower. That’s way too long and a waste of water.

Last Minute Stay
We made a last minute stop off on a road trip from Chicago after 18hrs of driving. We were exhausted & just needed a place to rest. Most hotels within 30 miles were fully booked, and Hotels.com had this one left. It was actually much nicer than I anticipated. It was pretty on the outside, and the lobby was nice. The bathroom is outdated, 2/3 lightbulbs burned out and pillows left a lot to be desired, but it was quiet and safe. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was typical of a hotel.

Highly recommended
Very nice accommodations at such a reasonable price. Just a quick stop en route to Central Florida but staff was great and everything was clean. Omelet station for breakfast was delicious and a nice touch that was different from the bland breakfast most hotels have.

6/10 Good

Night clerk that checked us in was awesome. Very kind and accommodating. Morning clerk for checkout was ok. We had no hot water in our room (#206) and we let the water run so long I felt guilty about wasting it. She did not offer anything for our inconvenience, just that she would tell maintenance. We didn't get showers. And the sofa smelled like cheese. The TV is also very annoying to try to use. But, the bed was comfy. The breakfast was good. They even had a waffle station and an inlet station. So that was nice. It was worth the $100 we paid but a hot shower would have made this a 5-star review.
