I recently stayed for three nights at the Best Western Killeen Ft. Hood, and while the physical hotel itself is decent enough, the sheer disorganization at the front desk completely ruined the experience.
On our second night, while out visiting family, I received a bizarre phone call from the front desk asking if we had ever actually checked in. I confirmed that we had checked in two days prior, and the staff member said okay and hung up. When we returned to the hotel late that night, our room keys didn't work.
When we went to the front desk, we discovered that whoever checked us in on day one completely messed up the system entry. Even though my bank portal clearly showed a pending charge for the full 3-night stay, the hotel claimed they had marked us as a "no-show" and only charged a $100 fee. She handed me receipts that completely contradicted what was happening on my actual bank statement.
To make matters worse, because of their system error, they had assigned our room to another guest. That guest actually entered our room while we were out, realized our stuff was in there, and had to go back down to report it was occupied. Having a stranger walk into a room holding our personal belongings is unacceptable.
The front desk employee certainly didn't lead with an apologetic vibe, though she eventually admitted the situation wasn't my fault. They did eventually issue us a new room key, but dealing with an administrative mess and security lapse late at night was a huge, unnecessary hassle.
As for the rest of the hotel:
The Room: Fine enough for a budget stay. Clean, no bugs or issues.
Breakfast: The breakfast tacos served one morning were actually pretty good.
Amenities: One set of washers and dryers was out of order, but the working set got the job done once we managed to snag it.
The property itself is okay, but the front desk operations and billing confusion need serious work. I wouldn’t risk staying here again if you want a hassle-free trip.
