| - I booked my room here on a recent business trip because I thought I should go ahead and get some loyalty points with Best Western. When I looked on other review sites, I saw some nice pictures of the hotel room so I thought I was going to have a typical Best Western experience.
"Better days, better days..." This hotel is definitely on the run down side and doesn't create a good impression from its dingy lobby area and small elevator. On the plus side, the front desk staff person was friendly and personable. He asked me about preferences for room (quiet? convenient to elevator, away from elevator, etc...) and went through the breakfast bar hours and offered suggestions for nearby places to eat (there are not a lot). When I said I'll probably go to the Denny's, he gave me a 20% off coupon. So dingy first impression, but saved by friendly service. Also, I will add that while I got the really nice friendly guy, there was another front desk person who was kinda rude and abrupt. She was thankfully helping another person. I just happened to luck out.
Rooms: I took the elevator to the 3rd floor. When I opened the door to the room, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. The building itself does need sprucing up but the room was decent. The entry to the room, closet, shower/bathroom and doors look dated, but the furnishings and beds look and feel like they've been updated so that's another plus. The bed was comfortable with nice fluffy pillows. Everything looked clean and inviting.
Noise/breakfast: It is definitely an airport hotel so be prepared to hear airport noise throughout the night. It did quiet down and I was able to drift off and get a good nights rest. Thankfully, my flight was not super early so I could sleep in a little. Breakfast is the usual fare and included with your room rate. It's the usual options of hot food: scrambled egg/bacon or sausage with omelet (rotating options of breakfast 1 or 2 - you know this if you stay in a hotel longer than 2-3 days). Then the other breakfast options available are the cereals, yogurt, fruit juices, make-your-own belgian waffles, fruit (apples or oranges), coffees and teas.
Parking/amenities: There was ample parking around the building so I didn't have any trouble finding a spot close to the front door. In terms of amenities like a gym, I didn't see one and I don't think they have one. They do have a heated pool and whirlpool, but I didn't take advantage of it. You can see it in the morning when you have breakfast. There are two computers hooked up to a printer in the lobby so you can easily check in to your flight and print your boarding pass right there. There isn't an actual store in the lobby but you can pick up concessions like candies, chips, drinks, toiletry kits, etc....and pay for items at front desk. Oh and you do have free WiFi in the room.
Would I stay here again? Maybe if I couldn't get a better rate elsewhere. It is not the top of my list. The main thing it has going for it is that it is convenient to the airport with a 10 minute drive in a car rental or 15 minutes in the shuttle. If you do have a car rental there is a gas station next to the Denny's where you can gas up before returning the airport.
