Not what you would expect from a Best Western
The staff were great but the overall experience was sub-par. First we entered our room and there was a strong smell of smoke - when we called the office they moved us to a different room immediately which was great. Thank you Donna! The building was very dirty on the outside (needed to be pressure washed) and several areas inside needed to be vacuumed (the stairwells were filthy). Breakfast was awful! The meat was not cooked, the poached eggs were soft but the whites were hardly cooked and the pineapple was actually brown and rotten.

Room not as shown on website
Room we got was not as shown in pictures. Pictures show jacuzzi in room but apparently it’s only a jetted tub, so we were very unhappy about that. Licence for elevator was over a year since last inspection. Staff was very friendly though.

Hotel is good; not the restaurant
The hotel and room were fine, but the fridge made a lot of noise. The toilet was dripping all night didn't flush propely - you had to hold the handle down. I let the front desk know. None of these were a big deal. Parking was very tight as the hotel was fully booked.
Breakfast is no longer included. They have replaced the brekfast buffet with a small ala carte menu. Very limited choices. Service was good but the food was absolutely terrible. We had modifed avocado toast (no egg, cheese or potato latke) and they added some fruit. Fruit tasted like it had been cut several daya before and left to dry. The avocado toast was bland, yet somehow managed to peave me feeling ill all day. Never eating there again.

Needs updated privacy curtains
Only thing we noticed was that the privacy curtains in our room #125 did not close and we had people walking by our room outside … I suggest you lengthen the rods so guests can close them if desired

Returned and no electricity, no emergency lights
No back up generator for essentials
Wasn't fault of hotel, but weren't very apologetic
A discount or possibly a voucher would of been acceptable

Reception is super friendly and goes out of their way to help. Room adequate but obvious that furniture was not moved around so we found the room with old ketchup packets, glasses and dirt under bed and behind drawers.

There was an ice storm. We were in the dark, no heat, no hot water and no breakfast in the morning. We should get a discount or our money back.
