EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED
We were just there to bridge over a trip to FL for one night and it was everything we needed. Close to inexpensive dining, service stations and Buc-EE's (if you are so inclined!). It was very, very clean and neat; plenty of towels for the three of us; the front desk person was very nice. And the breakfast had more than I would have expected for such a reasonably priced hotel.

We have never stay at Best Western and a little nervous about what we might get. It was midnight & only property nearby. The outside is old & has outside door access only. The room was very clean & the bed was comfortable. The staff was very customer service oriented & better than some nicer hotels we have stayed in during recent treats of travel. the breakfast was decent & food tastes good. It was a bit loud being just off the interstate & near fast food restraints. I would stay again!

The only thing I did not care for which is out of the hotels control is that our downstairs neighbor was smoking outside their room. Otherwise the rest of the stay was great.

Second time we have stayed at this facility. It has always been clean. There are minor maintenance items in the rooms that could use some work, but perfect for a stop on a long drive.
