Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My stay here was great. The room was clean and the staff very kind, thoughtful, and helpful. The hotel, I think, is a bit on the older side, but this did not detract from my stay at all. It is located conveniently. While they don't have a continental breakfast, they do provide vouchers for free breakfast at the Denny's across the parking lot. The staff were kind enough to even provide an extra voucher so my daughter and her fiancé could have breakfast with me. I hope saying that doesn't get them in trouble. I would stay there again in a heartbeat."
