"Everything was great except for the receptionist the morning that we were leaving. It felt like we were disrupting her ability to just sit there by going and asking for a few things as we were getting ready to leave. Completely unprofessional. felt like she was there for a paycheck and not there to do her job with a friendly attitude. The breakfast was easily a 9/10 as far as hotel breakfast goes. The gal that was running the kitchen..."
"Stayed one night with family. Big clean room and clean toilet. Furniture was in good condition. The check in late at night was welcoming. The lady at the counter made us feel welcome. The checkout was equally sad, the new lady was not happy. Breakfast was asthetically pleasing and good. Liked the stay. Thank you Best Western"

"You get what you pay for. This is one of the least expensive of nearly a dozen hotels next to each other. The halls and stairwells were pretty dirty and had a marijuana smell. The rooms themselves and the people were nice. Except no coffee maker in the room! The breakfast was surprisingly good. There was a party happening that went late, but that was over a little after 10."
"I had to drive through Atlanta took an extra 90 minutes. Tired and very nice person at the counter, check in was very easy. I loved my room spacious extra chair for sitting. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a tub which I was very grateful for"
"The hotel was very nice and clean, the Breakfast was awesome I love the location everything convenient i will definitely stay there again."
"Good location, near restaurants and other hotels. Check in/out no hassle. Friendly front desk and breakfast staff. Smelled somewhat of weed at some exits, but what place doesn’t nowadays. Clean room. Ac worked well. Would have been a 5 star room if not for no ventilation in bathroom and no shampoo/conditioner already provided. I’m sure I could have gotten some from the front desk."
"We stopped at this hotel as a late afternoon choice in our travels, expecting a mid-level experience for a relatively inexpensive hotel. The building does show signs of needing updates. But the room and bathroom were clean, the AC worked great and the beds were clean and comfortable. I rarely write reviews, but I want folks to know that the staff at this hotel make it 5 stars. From Latoya at the front desk to the breakfast and housekeeping staff,..."
