This is not a typical Best Western property as you enter your room for exterior doors. Lobby was small but adequate. Check in was fast and the attendant was pleasant and kind. Room was subpar and had a musty/previously smoked in smell. The bedding and towels were clean but the overall cleanliness of the floors and behind the nightstand needed attention. It was midnight when we checked in so we did not address the issue of the odor. Would not stay here again.

My check-in went perfectly fine, staff was very friendly, very helpful very informative, however, after checking, I went straight to my room and laid down. After about an hour, I got up and took a shower, then return to the bed and fell asleep. Woke up at 5 AM hearing door, slamming, and people being loud.. at which time I noticed that I had numerous bug bites all over my body, and I began to itch severely. Very unfortunate situation., I will never be back.
