A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“What an experience we had ! Everything was so well thought out for families. The pool is large and comes with pool toys, there is a game room with games to keep the kids entertained. The staff are incredible and accommodating they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. My youngest LOVED the complimentary hot chocolate I will need to get some at home lol. The staff at breakfast made my kiddos plain scrambled eggs as they struggled with the spices. The manager was so lovely she popped in every morning at breakfast to see how every guest was doing. Our last day my son wasn't feeling well amd they let him rest till we needed to head tp the airport. Best Western u are doing it right! Thanks for taking such great care of our family and we can not wait to come back next year!!!”
“I love this hotel, I also love that this hotel has a heated pool! The location is so close to everything you need shopping, food, most events. The #1 thing i love is that there is NO CARPETS!!! thats right NO CARPETS! in this hotel! In winter they have complimentary soup and in warmer months they have the complimentary slushy machines and its all free ! The staff are very friendly and action fast when you need something, it doesn't matter what time is it.”
“Best venue and service ever! We held my dad’s birthday party here, and everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the setup was beautiful, and the whole event ran smoothly from start to finish. My dad had an amazing time, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the place. Highly recommended for any special occasion! Special thanks to Event sales manager Dina Domingo and the team for an awesome transaction. Thankyou so much. You guys are the best!”
“Hands down the BEST place our team has stayed at!! Michelle ( Manager ) and every single staff member we interacted with was exceptional. Customer Service Excellence is obviously a focus. The elevator was slow but is getting repaired outside of competition season. Beyond that, the game room, the pool, the breakfast bar was a step above. Little welcoming touches were part of each room and area. Clearly, they have also chosen to focus on customer satisfaction.”
