The first night was horrible as the room that I reserved was not available & was place near the pool…was extremely loud until 11 pm. Once I was able to get the room that I reserved it was fine!

Not impressed
Room smelled like wet dog. When I went to open window to get fresh air bottom window trim about fell off. Mattress was horrible and very noisy with slamming doors all night. Not worth price charged.

College Reunion
We had a nice stay at the BW - it was our college reunion so it was a perfect place to sleep. Plenty of room to have friends meet and talk in the lobby or move over to the restaurant within the hotel.

The pool was amazing, and the reason we chose the hotel.
Our guestroom was very dated. The toilet leaked. The toiletries offered in the room were barely enough for one person, let alone the 3 who were travelling. We purposely did not bring shampoo, conditioner, body wash because hotels we've recently stayed in supply these for guests. We had to go out and purchase these items.

Nice stay!
The hotel room was roomy and I like the layout with the a mirror area to get ready separate from the bathroom. I don’t love all the carpeting, the hotel is older, and has a smoke smell to it.

Wedding travels
Looking for a place to rest before the craziness started for my sister’s wedding weekend. It fit the bill of a place to rest and refuel. The floor plan is a bit confusing but once you traveled it a few times, it became easier.

4/10 Fair
Sep 26, 2024
We did not enjoy our stay at this hotel. It’s an older hotel and it shows its age. The room was ok, but public areas need better upkeep and cleaning. The breakfast is included but we found it inferior to most hotels in this price range - watery coffee is just not acceptable. There is only one small elevator for a 4-floor hotel. The elevator was out of order for part of our stay which was quite inconvenient for guests on the 4th floor.
Overall, we would not recommend this hotel.
