Best Western Freeport Inn

Best Western Freeport Inn

6/10 Okay
"We liked the location, some rooms have a very nice view (ours was not one of them. Very dark with a basement style window facing tire level of the parking lot). Plenty of parking and a very good breakfast/lunch restaurant on site. Road construction made it difficult to access/leave, but that is not the hotel's fault. There was trenching dug around the property, clearly pipe problems, and the hotel smelled "sewery." Our toilet was leaking at the base and would not stop running all day and night. Housekeeping was great! Once they work out these issues it will be very nice again but we won't stay here until then."
