Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here last night, I will never be returning. Awful experience, rude staff and so loud you could hear everything, especially when anyone walked or knocked on a neighboring door. The area is filled with homeless people, I would not recommend this area, or this property. When I told them about my experience, they were completely dismissive and lied about their cancellation policy (I wanted to cancel my second night there so it went to waste). Save your money, go next door, or really anywhere else.

Bathroom fan was loud and needed to be replaced. TV had two remote controls which was confusing to get service. Tiny breakfast area dealing equally annoyed travelers having to navigate such a tiny space for an entire motel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I was checked in 2 visible used rooms. Then given a spic and span bottle to clean the affected areas. I reported this to the manager, nothing happened. They let the most customer PR person change my room and move my stuff to a new clean room--good. The attendant in question was still there offering dirty rooms to paid customer and clean rooms to her unpaid associates. I plan not to use this undiverse, the best Western, anymore.
