West Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Great value, especially if you're travelling without a dog. Convenient location for travelers. Lot's of kids heading to Lego Land. Quiet nonetheless. Tightly run, high quality, recent build (stayed in 2026). Their premium for dogs was high, so that's a knock. Added 35% to the nightly fee."
