Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Yes! Great room and friendly staff. Loved the outdoor spaces for family gatherings.
Excellent! Our room was immaculate and very comfortable. It looks like a newly remodeled and painted room. Love the wood beamed ceilings and well laid out bathroom.
I would highly recommend this Best Western. plus there is an excellent restaurant just walking steps away.
There was a terrible chemical smell in the room that an air filter placed inside near the window wasn't fixing. The jacuzzi looked like something you'd find at a dilapidated Motel 6. The people working there though were very friendly.
Restaurant close, rooms clean, plenty of parking, very nice staff.

This is a great place to stay if you have a loved one at cottage Hospital. I was able to walk from the hotel to the hospital within minutes. I could also walk to the Live Oak Café to have dinner. I never had to pay for parking because I never had to move my car. The bed was very comfortable and the staff was courteous.
bar was stocked, patio small but very nice exposure, room clean as a whistle......dark rug poor choice in renovation but otherwise great. Parking easy and good. Everything just fine.
