Excellent stay

Beautiful hotel. Clean and updated rooms. Welcoming staff.

2/10 Poor

Stay way, overpriced

Horrible Hotel and very overpriced Towels super old, tv with problems, cheap everything
Paul, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting, do not stay here

This hotel is absolutely disgusting. The moment we walked in the hallway reeked of weed. When we opened the door, it instantly smelled like mold and mildew. There was black mold in the bathroom. And it looked like one of the beds had already been slept in. The deadbolt on the door was completely broken off and we felt unsafe all night. We reached out to both the hotel and Hotels.com for a refund, but we’re unsuccessful. The hotel was fully booked and we cannot get another room.
Ashley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was nice. Ok for a one or two night stay
Misty, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Did not feel safe

Neighbors were yelling until 6-7am, couldn’t sleep. The swing lock on the door was broken and the hotel was in a bad neighborhood, giving us concerns all night about someone breaking into the room. Bathroom needed a more thorough cleaning. Halls smelled like animal pee.
Christopher, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Perfect room, if you like cat pee

Just could not stay in the room, it smelled so bad, like pet urine. Hotel employee agreed it was a problem but said no other rooms were available; he would have refunded the visit but it was not booked through Best Western. I ended up finding another place to stay.

We stayed post Helene and the staff went out of their way to accommodate those with needs. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was a plus.
Cathy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not the cleanest place. Also not in the best neighborhood - definitely a middle of the line place. Do not highly recommend if you want a clean and safe stay

4/10 Fair

The location is good, the beds are comfortable… finding hospitable, competent staff may be the challenge here. Having stayed here previously, our expectations were set and upon arrival we were informed the elevator was out of service and we’d have a room on the third floor. That was only the beginning of the series of unfortunate events…
Jeanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent customer service

Julie at the front desk gets an excellent review from us for going above and beyond to make sure any issues were handled expeditiously and professionally. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the check-in and check-out processes were easy.

4/10 Fair

Although they are working on upgrading the carpet throughout the building, my room was filthy. It appears they dropped the ball on room cleanliness to focus on the carpet project. Dirty carpet iny room glass table was not cleaned with child smear marks across it. I had an insect crawl across the bathroom floor while I was trying to relax in the tub. DISGUSTING!! I stayed at less expensive hotels throughout Florida that outshined this property! Do not stay if you can avoid it.

Big Yikes

We have stayed at a plethora of hotels throughout the years on business trips, family trips, and even solo trips, so I feel I can say (with experience) that this had to be one of the most uncomfortable stays at a hotel (with the exception of the staff). Upon arrival, the front desk staff was so welcoming and helpful. They also helped us when we realized our room had a strong cologne odor, and assisted us with checking out another room… which leads us to the next thing: the smells throughout the rooms. When going inside our room, the pungent smell of cologne was the first thing we noticed. We also saw some stains in the corner of the walls behind the beds, on the windowsills, and the tub. I usually carry Lysol/clorox wipes for a quick wipe down of the bathrooms, so I cleaned what I could to make sure my fam would be okay. My husband did go down to ask for the room change, but changed his mind of changing rooms once he entered another. The other had a much worse smell, which was described as “wet dog”, “musty” “pee”. We stayed in what we were (it didn’t smell odd other than cologne) and that was that. Besides that, it was quiet, convenient location, and staff was great. It definitely needs attention, as it is not updated, not modern. TV has the most basic channels, wifi was okay, and breakfast was just alright. There’s a bunch of reviews that say it was a great stay- which why we booked- and I wish I could say it was- but no. Please read the most RECENT reviews!!!
