The worst best western ever, I’m not blaming the power outage, but my sheets had red stains and the floors were gross. Not to mention this accessible room wasn’t very accessible.

Everything about our experience at your Hotel was above average to exceptional! In fact I had one of the best coffees every in your breakfast area. We stayed at the hotel because of the vicinity of the civic center, you’re basically on top of it. We arrived after dark, after waking I opened the drapes as we were facing our destination. So imagine my disappointment when the window was soooo dirty you could barely see across a 100 yard parking lot. If it wasn’t for that you’d have four or five stars. Gregg

The room was ice cold and everything felt damp. I kicked my shoes off and the carpet felt like it had been shampooed, very damp and a little sticky. Also, it felt like I was being attacked by fleas from the knees down when I stood on the carpet. I was exhausted, and just wanted to sleep. The bed was perfect, thankfully. Super comfy, however, I had kicked the heat on to 74 to try to get rid of the damp feeling, and promptly fell asleep. Sometime around 1 AM, the fire alarm in my room went off. I ran down the hall to the front desk and could not find anyone.- nobody, despite my calling out. I ran back to my room and beat the crap out of the alarm until it stopped. I mentioned it upon check out, and the woman just shrugged, and said “I’m sorry that happened”. Nope. Not again Nope, not again.
