6/10 Good

Good for a quick stop with dinner & breakfast
It was nice, the food was great and the ladies cooking at the omelet were awesome. The room was clean for the most part, the bedding in the closet for the pull out couch was rolled up in the bag and dirty so we called and asked for new bedding, it never arrived. We ended up getting two blankets as gifts so we were able to use those. Pillows were hard as a rock and lumpy, the mattress was comfortable though. The restaurant on the outside of the hotel was good for dinner!

Don’t stay here
Front staff was wonderful. Room wasn’t clean, towels are old with holes, hot water didn’t work, furniture was filthy and dated. This hotel should be rated no more than a 2 star at best

I wish all Best Westerns were like this.
My daughter and I had an amazing time at this hotel. This'is the only Best Western I'll stay in anytime I drive to Florida. Attached restaurant had wonderful salad and chicken wings. The pool is not heated so keep that in mind and the hot tub jets or not working but it was plenty hot. This place exceeded my expectations.

Last Minute Stay
We made a last minute stop off on a road trip from Chicago after 18hrs of driving. We were exhausted & just needed a place to rest. Most hotels within 30 miles were fully booked, and Hotels.com had this one left. It was actually much nicer than I anticipated. It was pretty on the outside, and the lobby was nice. The bathroom is outdated, 2/3 lightbulbs burned out and pillows left a lot to be desired, but it was quiet and safe. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was typical of a hotel.

Highly recommended
Very nice accommodations at such a reasonable price. Just a quick stop en route to Central Florida but staff was great and everything was clean. Omelet station for breakfast was delicious and a nice touch that was different from the bland breakfast most hotels have.
