    JOKE of a hotel. Elevator completely disabled, and I get thrown on the fourth floor. Bringing luggage? Tough. Fork over full hotel fare and take the stairs chump, you’re at the Best Western Holiday Lodge, and that’s how they do it here.

    Clean rooms, good service. Construction was a bit cumbersome, but soon enough that will be gone.

    Staying here currently. Got pushed back behind the hotel in a smelly motel. Smells like dog pee and old smoke. It’s gross. Wouldn’t stay here again. Plus I felt like I was going to get mugged in the parking lot.ill add the the back door doesn’t close properly and anyone could walk right in.

    I stopped here for a night while heading home, I made the reservation on the BW app an hour before getting to Clear Lake. When I got their, at check in I was greeted by a nice young woman, check in was smooth and fast, which I find happens when I used the app, my room was on the 5th Floor and I noticed the hallway was very quiet! my room was also quiet.. from the window in the room I could see traffic but could not hear it. I want to say that it is nice to stay some place like that, never heard any traffic all night, the bed was comfortable the room was clean, the tv was 50 inch, internet was plenty fast even when I was using my vpn. Breakfast was ok, not the best, but ok, bacon, reconstituted eggs, biscuits and gravy, ok the gravy at the consistency of wall paper paste, there was a pancake machine and cold cereal, there was yogurt offered also, so breakfast wasn't anything to write home about.. but it gets you going.. There was a Bennigans attached to the Hotel which was nice since it was raining and I could go there and have dinner. over all this BW was a nice hotel, clean and quiet.. the only thing I noticed was they didn't have door opening buttons for those who might have needed help getting in the hotel lobby
