I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at this SureStay Best Western was so disappointing that I feel others should know what happened.
My family and I reserved our room several months in advance because there are very few hotels in the area. We were traveling more than five hours and were looking forward to our stay.
When we arrived on June 1, 2026, around 8:00 p.m., after driving for over five hours, we were told that our confirmed reservation had been given to someone else. We understand that mistakes can happen, but what happened afterward was even more disappointing and unreal.
Because it was already late in the evening, we tried to find another hotel. Unfortunately, the only other hotel in the area was fully booked, leaving us with literally nowhere to stay. After a five-hour drive, our family was stranded because our reservation had been given away and this place had no other rooms!!!
The next day, we returned to speak with the employee and the manager (she was supposed to be back). The guy at the front desk acknowledged he made a huge mistake and told us he would speak with his manager about making things right, possibly through a discount, voucher, or some other form of compensation.
He talked to her on phone and he said that his manager said we would not get any comps/etc. Even more frustrating, we were told that because we had not objected when our reservation was given away, we were somehow responsible for the situation. That explanation made no sense to us. We had arrived expecting to check into the room we had reserved months earlier, only to discover it had already been given to someone else.
We then contacted Best Western corporate and also tried multiple times to speak directly with the hotel manager. Unfortunately, the manager never spoke with us. We visited the hotel on three separate occasions, and each time we were told the manager was unavailable. We were also not provided with any contact information for the manager of this Hotel.
What should have been a relaxing family trip turned into an incredibly stressful experience. The most disappointing part was not the original mistake—it was the complete lack of accountability afterward. Reservations can be lost or errors can occur, but customers should be treated fairly, and reasonable efforts should be made to resolve the situation.
Instead, we were left without a room, received no meaningful assistance, no compensation, and ultimately felt that the responsibility for the hotel's mistake was placed on us!!!!!
Based on this experience, I cannot recommend staying at this location. I sincerely hope no other family has to go through the nightmare that what we experienced.
