"Our stay at the Best Western was mostly functional, as we used the hotel mainly for sleeping. On the day of arrival, we did notice some cockroaches in the bathroom, and the hotel itself feels old; the door to our room had visible cracks, which stood out. Breakfast was acceptable; nothing amazing, but nothing bad either. One positive aspect is the private parking lot owned by the hotel, located across the street, which is secured with a metal door and lock and has space for around ten cars....
