This was one of the more disappointing Best Western Plus stays I’ve had.
The room had several maintenance issues that should have been addressed before being rented. The most noticeable was significant water damage on the living room ceiling with bubbling, peeling drywall and visible staining. There were also long cracks running along the wall and ceiling seam. Under the kitchenette sink, there were clear signs of past or ongoing water damage to the cabinet base, and the bathroom exhaust fan was incredibly loud while moving little to no air.
Since this was a suite with a kitchenette, I also expected at least the basics for cleaning up after using it. There were no dish soap, sponge, dish towel, or any other cleaning supplies provided, making it impossible to wash dishes without purchasing supplies myself.
The door hardware also needs attention. One lock would only open if you pulled up on the handle, while the other felt like it wanted to swallow the key every time it was used.
There was conflicting information throughout the hotel. My key sleeve stated checkout was 11:00 AM, while the guest directory in the room stated 12:00 PM. The guest directory also advertised Sunday breakfast from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, so I went downstairs around 9:20 AM only to find breakfast already shut down. When I asked the front desk employee if he could turn the juice machine back on, he was polite and happily did so. Unfortunately, the housekeeping staff responded with an attitude, insisting breakfast had ended at 9:00 AM.
Another disappointment was the pool hours. Every Best Western I’ve stayed at has kept the pool open until 10:00 PM, but this location closes it at 9:00 PM. I checked in at 8:55 PM, hoping my family could relax with a swim after a long day of driving, only to find the pool closing almost immediately.
The biggest issue, however, was housekeeping entering our room without knocking while I was using the bathroom. That is a serious privacy issue and completely unacceptable.
I do want to give credit where it’s due—the front desk employee I dealt with was courteous and tried to help. Unfortunately, the poor room condition, maintenance problems, lack of basic kitchenette supplies, conflicting guest information, limited pool hours, breakfast confusion, and housekeeping entering without knocking overshadowed the stay.
I expect better from a Best Western Plus. This property has the potential to be much better, but it needs more attention to maintenance, communication, guest privacy, and overall quality control before I would consider staying here again.
