Breakfast is separate it’s per person 18 dollars I didn’t like that I thought it was included, otherwise from that the swimming pool is huge and beautiful and they have two jacuzzi clean rooms beautiful property kfc close by and a lot of options for places to eat close by definitely recommend going there.

I went to breakfast. I would’ve paid the $17 that they were asking for, but when I went there, they didn’t really have that much of a selection so opted to go elsewhere. Me and my daughter went to the pool. The pool looked great from far, but as we near it, there was a lot of bugs inside of it and liquor bottles on the bottom of the pool at first glance everything look great but as you get closer, you do not want to take your kids there something the staff should be aware of The proximity where the hotel is at is great and very convenient to the parks and restaurants. I would recommend for people to stay here.

Location. It’s close to everything that I needed to go to. The employees were helpful and friendly. Initially there was an issue with the water not draining in the tub but that was fixed quickly and I wish it was explained that there was no microwave . I hadn’t been to this location in a couple years and didn’t know they no longer provided microwaves in the hotel room.

I booked this hotel because Expedia advertised that the room included a microwave. Since I travel with my 2½-year-old daughter, this was important for warming milk and food. Upon arrival, there was no microwave, although the space for one was still there. The front desk informed me that standard rooms do not include microwaves and that none were available because the hotel was fully booked. The room also lacked basic amenities. The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers were completely empty. In addition, the air conditioning barely worked. Even at 66°F, the room remained warm throughout the night. Breakfast was another frustration. I paid $18 per adult and $12 for my toddler. On the first morning, I was told I had to pay again because the front desk failed to provide breakfast vouchers. The next day, my daughter woke up sick with a fever, and staff initially refused to let us bring food to the room for her. After speaking with management, they finally allowed it. Overall, it felt like guests in standard rooms received lower priority and fewer basic conveniences than guests in upgraded rooms. Between the misleading room information, missing amenities, cleanliness concerns, poor air conditioning, and disappointing customer service, this hotel fell far below expectations.

The staff at the Best Western were extremely kind and welcoming. Everything was handled promptly, and our wait time was less than five minutes. The room was clean and smelled fresh, and the hallways were also well-maintained and spotless. Everything about this hotel was excellent, including its convenient location and proximity to the park. We will definitely be booking here again

I was the only guest staying in the room. In the morning, I found several strands of women’s hair under my pillow, which raised concerns about the cleanliness of the room. Additionally, the bathroom shower was leaking, and it took an unusually long time for the water to heat up. Due to these issues and my discomfort with the room’s condition, I checked out early at 4:00 AM I love the location and all over staff service was excellent.

I booked a standard room through Expedia because the listing indicated it included a microwave. I travel with my 2½-year-old daughter and need one to warm her milk. After checking in, I was told standard rooms do not include microwaves. As a result, I had to warm her milk using hot water from the sink. Another major issue was the breakfast service. I paid for a package that included breakfast ($18 per adult and $12 for my toddler). On the first morning, the breakfast staff told me I had to pay again and treated me as if I was trying to enter without authorization. Later, we discovered the front desk had failed to provide the breakfast vouchers during check-in. The following day, my daughter woke up with a fever after a difficult night. My husband asked if he could take some food to the room for her, but the request was denied. When I later tried to take a small amount of juice and food for my sick child, I was immediately stopped. Only after requesting to speak with a manager and explaining that I had already paid for my daughter’s breakfast did the staff offer a takeaway option. For the price paid, there are far better hotels in Orlando. Overall, the customer service, cleanliness, and accommodations did not meet expectations. I would not stay here again.

Great location to the parks, easy to get to and the parking was free. The floors in the room needed better cleaning, the tub was dirty, zero water pressure, had to turn the water on and let it heat up, hairs in the tub and towels that were not ours, patched holes in the ceilings and walls, couldn’t get the AC to actually cool the room down and it made quite a bit of noise, the toilet paper holder was hanging on by a thread and the toilet paper fell off when trying to change it out or pull it, over all old and needed a better cleaning, sink would get stopped up, no shampoo or conditioner in shower and the place absolutely reeked of weed upon arrival.

We had a room with 2 double beds. Beds are very small. 2 adults will have trouble sharing. Our shower was a problem. The first night there was no hot water, the pressure was terrible and the drain was totally blocked. Maintenance did come out and fix the temperature settings and the drain but the pressure was still not great. We tried to use the treadmills in the gym but only 1 was working so my wife and I had to take turns instead of being able to run at the same time. Second night we tried to use the microwave and it was also broken. Maintenance had to bring 3 different microwaves before they found one that worked. Overall most of the problems were resolved but some money should definitely be put back into fixing some things.

"I had a generally good stay at this hotel. It was a great value for the money, and the rooms were clean. The beds were comfortable, and the pillows were decent. While some staff were very kind, others could improve on customer service. The only notable issue was that there was a noticeable odor in the hallways due to other guests smoking, which wasn’t the hotel's fault. Overall, it was a decent stay for the price!"

Bad things - We have flooding in our room and nobody calls or text when we come back alll our shoes and the make up on the sink who soaked wet, room was a disaster and dirty, no apologies no help to change room. We stayed 6 nights and no housekeeping provided like they said, we scheduled it but nobody cleaned our room, just changed towels and I paid for a extra person but everyday i need to call for the third towel and Coffee. If it was not for the front desk team this hotel will be a ZERO stars. Don’t recommend it at all and not coming back there.

There’s many things you can do, go to the gym, pool, play basketball and jacuzzi and snack bar and everything. I came with a Tesla and they only have one charging station but it didn’t fit on my Tesla and I don’t have an adapter so I had to charge somewhere else which isn’t bad because it’s a minute away but wishes they had charging stations that fit or maybe have adapters if needed

Overall, I had a good stay at Best Western Orlando Gateway. The location is great and very convenient. The hotel could use a little TLC, but the customer service made a positive difference. There was a party at the pool area that made my original room very noisy, but the front desk was very understanding and immediately changed my room with no hesitation. The hallway on the 5th floor had a strong smoke smell, although thankfully the room itself did not smell at all. Interestingly, the hallway where my original room was located had no odor issues. Overall, a solid stay with responsive staff and a great location.

The service was amazing, Luciana is exceptional he made the entire experience very special, and also if you want to eat something tasty and what that home feeling please look out for Maria at the restaurant she makes the best breakfasts ever. I would like to stay more days. But my vacays were too short.

This was our 3rd stay at this property. It's conveniently located to Universal Orlando. It is put go to if we can't stat on property. Staff was nice. Check in easy. No housekeeping service for less than 4 day stay. No biggie, but if you stay more than 1 day at least provide towels and washcloths for length of stay. I always have to ask. Room could be cleaner. Room appears clean but never really is. Floor is always dirty. I bring my own cleaning supplies. Never expect it to be really dirty after wiping down the room. Normally itnis not. This time the bathroom counter looked clean but was not. But spending a little time on cleaning to save is worth it. The food options on property are not the greatest. I don't like the food in the little Cafe. Never ate at the restaurant since we each at Universal. Don't do public poolsnalthough the area looked nice and several people were out there. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

I’ve stayed here before without issues, but this time, the housekeeping team had issues. Night One of our stay started with a baby German cockroach on our door and housekeeping did not come to our room one during our 5 night stay. They kept leaving notes saying that they needed to get in to clean when the do not disturb sign wasn’t even on the door. We had to go ask for towels and for them to take the trash one day when we happened to see housekeeping skip our room again. Not sure if I’ll ever stay here again after this visit, which is sad because the hotel location is convenient to Universal and we have stayed here 3 times before without issues.

The room is just a sleeping place but it was really outdated (poor maintenance overall), the bathroom door got stuck all the time, the air conditioner is old and noisy and the facilities looks like they need some love to make you feel welcome for the price you're paying (looks pretty much like a cheap hotel)

Besides the front desk staff being amazing this is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. My family and I went home with welts and rashes. There was a visible blood stain on the sheet and they may have a bed bug problem, or at the very least they do not wash their sheets, disgusting. I was initially assigned a room that smelled dirty and like someone was smoking. Front desk was gracious enough to switch our rooms, however the room my family stayed at ended up having plumbing issues. Toilet wouldn’t flush, water in the tub and sink wouldn’t go down. DO NOT stay here.

Hotel outside is very nice. The lobby is very nicely decorated. Our room on the other hand was very disappointing. Our room smelt musty. Floors was dirty to the point we wore our shoes every time we had to move around. The bathroom was the worst part. The tub was dirty like black dirt markings on the floor. There was mold or dirt in all of the grout. It was bad…. It was like they were fixing the room and stopped a 1/4 of the way and were like screw it let people book it. I’m not saying I expected a 5 star experience for a best western but like that was pitiful. We checked out early because it was disastrous. Never again.

The pool and jacuzzi was nice, and the location was really good, and the free shuttle to the universal was a nice touch The first room I got had water running from the fridge and there was damage, asked to switch to another room, and that room had door problem where it did not close properly, had the maintenance person come in and fix the door, also had problem with flushing the toilet, the toilets are really bad they need replacement to better quality ones, and the water in the bath would not go down right away it kept collecting when you showered, the beds were squicky and you could hear people closing doors in the middle of the night which kept waking you up, the rooms have really thin walls and you could hear people talking. The place overall looks outdated, it needs a lot of renovation from beds to whole shower and toilet and just the bathroom in general, I got tired of switching the room after the first one, it seemed that it would be the same in all the rooms

The location is very convenient—close to International Drive, the Universal parks, and restaurants. The hotel offers a good breakfast (available for an extra charge, but an excellent option). Although the room cleaning is poor, I have an enthusiastic compliment regarding perfection: the pool is impeccable. The maintenance and cleaning of the pool are absolutely perfect. The cleaning is very poor. But the worst part is that, now, they don't clean or tidy up the rooms during your stay. They limit themselves to changing the towels—and that's about it. This is a idiotic cost-cutting idea because the impression it leaves is terrible. In addition to improving room cleaning, they need to rethink this shortsighted cost-cutting policy.

Up to the point where we walked into our room after getting dinner- we were really pleased with the location. But once we entered the room, a noticed the amount of roaches that were on our food !! That kinda Superseded the joy of the location? The amount of live active roaches ? ??? bc THATS RIGHT ROACHES ALL OVER THE ROOM!!. Not only that but after 3 weeks of trying to get a refund based on the obvious! I was only compensated 1 night stay! .. Bookings . Com did not help my as they’re client secure a full refund. And did absolutely nothing in regards to making sure I was satisfied. Best western pushed it off on bookings- Bookings pushed it off in Best western… Just a bunch of B.S. Be very cautious when booking through third parties- they will not protect your interests. YES THEY STILL CHARGED ME FOR MY STAY AT A ROACH INFESTED HOTEL. Never stay at the BEST WESTERN GATEWAY IN ORLANDO- Unless you’re looking for specimens.. js

This is a nice quick stay. We’re about 1.5 hr from this area so if we wanna enjoy the area and not the drive home this was a nice quick way to do so without paying a ton or planning way ahead. If this is your dream Disney vacation this is probably not the spot for you. But if you want a clean, easily accessible spot with breakfast this would be perfect. We have a 6mo old and a 18 mo old and they really enjoyed the play area. We had breakfast there as well, good quality but the room is crowded. We will stay again in the future.

Overall the hotel & my room were clean & comfortable. Caroline at the front desk went above & beyond to help me & was a delightful person. My only complaint was there wasn't any body wash in the shower.

The air conditioning unit was quite noisy, and there were some maintenance issues like damage at the bottom of the doors. Additionally, the body wash and shampoo were empty upon check-in, which was a bit inconvenient. While the staff were polite, the overall service felt a bit slow and could be more responsive and welcoming. With some improvements in maintenance, housekeeping, and service speed, this property has the potential to offer a much better stay.

Very disappointed as the room said it sleeps 4 people but both beds were only full size an it was the moat miserable night for 2 adults and 2 preteens.

When we checked in we were told that we’d have a room next to our friends but they failed to tell us that it wasn’t promised and then when our friends checked in they got put on a completely different floor than us. Then when we went to ask the desk staff about it they were extremely rude and told us it wasn’t promised at that time and they “had an issue with the room for our friends” which come to find out later both rooms next to us had people in them so I find that funny. There was a used condom in the parking lot. Our room was disgusting with red juice all over the AC unit, hair on the bedding, pubic hair all over in the bathtub and shower, dirty walls. Only gave us two towels for a family of 4 for 4 days. Beds were small and hard. Toilet was installed incorrectly and was so crooked you sat facing the bathtub. Other than that the pool and hot tubs were nice but they close really early.

We were missing a microwave when we got into our room and had to call reception to get one to warm up our food. My precious reservation was canceled and it took too long to get it back. Rooms were small and the double bed as well

We had to ventilate the bathroom after shower by opening the door for the whole night. Damp for the whole night. Received the full Florida Everglades experience from this room. I had to ask 2 technicians and a housekeeper for a fan to be fixed. P.S. bathroom was still wet the morning after. I thought the fan not being on was part of the room design before coming in. No main lights. Ate my burrito with the table light shining up to the ceiling like a telling a ghost story to my friends. The table light started to flash in the middle of the night. Thought we got flash banged while we sleeping. The wardrobe is missing a door.

The staff was nice and helpful. The place is very close to Universal. They did not have queen beds but king or 2 full. Overall had good confortable stay
- 1/5
The location and convenience of this hotel are excellent, especially with the shuttle service to Universal Studios. The staff was also great—very friendly and helpful during our stay. However, the building does seem a bit older, and noise from the hallway, including doors slamming and people walking, could be heard at night. Light from the hallway also came through a gap under the door, which made sleeping a little more difficult. The beds were not the most comfortable and the frames creaked when moving, but the shuttle service and friendly staff were definite positives.

Overall was a average stay but there are things that need to be worked on.... Beds are not true queens they are more on the full side,Quest services the check in was excellent woman was nice and patience with me.. when i needed extra towels the woman at the desk that morning her body language was like she didnt want to be there.. One of the light bulbs for one of the lamps was blown requestes a new one it ever arrived.... Toilets flush very slowly,shower pessure was ok... All and All it was average... Probably would only return if i couldnt find anything else

I enjoyed my stay here! The staff are friendly and welcoming. My room was clean and smelled fresh.

Most of the people we met that worked at the hotel were super nice. But the stay was not optimal for sure. The room was not ready when we arrived close to 4pm. We provided a phone number and sat in the lobby for an hour and finally walked up to the counter to check on the status. We were informed a call had been placed,which not the case. The rooms on the north of the building have the smell of the pool and feel damp and humid. The sixth floor did not have hot water consistently. We had to take multiple showers without hot water. We called the front desk and were told someone would contact us in 15 minutes -- but no one ever did. We texted the number provided and never got a response. One of the air conditioners was off and on again very noisy and loud. We had to turn it off a few times to make the room quieter. The room itself was quiet and clean. If someone was paying attention to details and listening to customers, this could be a nice place to stay. Probably we will pay a few more dollars and stay somewhere else until this is improved.

Deadbolt didn’t work, fridge was missing all the wire racks on the door, shampoo container fell off the shower wall, huge gap under connecting room door, barista was rude (don’t pay $4 for an Americano because it’s just coffee from a canister that you serve yourself LOL). Pool was actually nice however you run out of sun quickly because of the building being tall. Employees (aside from barista) were nice and the hotel has potential but it’s just old and filled with problems. Would not stay again. I regret not paying 150-200 more for a better hotel.

Room was disgusted, the duvet was stained with blood from precious stays, Which means that they don't clean or change the bed linen. First night we had to change the room at 2 am because of the sound coming from air conditioner and the second room was worse which we left because for three days changing rooms every day doesn't make sense to me. The doors are all destroyed. and very bad smell. The truth is that the stay was terrible, I had never had such a bad experience in a hotel in Orlando.

The amenities were a great plus. Shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion were available and installed on the wall, which made our stay easier. This was very helpful because the nearby pharmacy had a long line, and these dispensers saved us. Overall, it was an excellent stay. I would return and highly recommend this hotel. I am very detail-oriented (OCD), and I truly believe the value for money is excellent, especially considering the cleanliness and condition of the rooms.

Was given a room on the first floor and when I opened the door there was a couple in bed having sex, when they saw me the guy quickly got up and covered himself I apologize and left but it was very awkward and I could tell the couple were embarrassed and angry. Went back to the lobby and told them what had happened. The guy at the front desk took my key and gave me another room in a different floor but no apology or anything for the inconvenience. If I would’ve been a little kid I would’ve been scarred for life.

I booked it for 4 people and didn’t realize the beds were doubles. Although it was a tight fit, we were so tired from universal it didn’t matter. The front desk was very nice and accommodating. Booking through Expedia and working with the front desk was flawless and there were no hidden fees. I paid exactly what I wanted which was the cheaper price off Expedia! Overall good trip.

The staff was nice overall, minus the girl at check-in. The keys only worked half the time, and there was one door that didn't work at all. Full service on the rooms was cut too much - once every four days. We'd been there for over four nights and wanted our room fully serviced, but couldn't because we missed the one day of the week to ask for it. What's wrong with every other day? The floor hadn't been fully swept; there was dirt behind the chair (the housekeeping staff apparently don't have time to thoroughly sweep when they only have the one day to service all rooms). The one day we asked for service, and got half-service, we only got half of that: most of the trash we'd had in the room was left (empty pizza boxes, dirty coffee cups, etc). We're probably not staying there again. Even with the discount from Expedia, it was a little too much for what we received.

Rooms needs an upgrade on shower curtains & Housekeeping needs to make sure everything that’s included in the rooms is ready to use. Because our complimentary Shampoo bottle in the shower was empty. And, I feel like the outside definitely looks better than the inside of the hotel not a resort if you ask me! The hallway ceiling in the whole building needs to be upgraded. Don’t think I’ll stay there again with my Family.

There is only housekeeping once every four days.

We told the front desk and they said they would have maintenance look at it, when we came back it still made the same noise.

This hotel is most valuable when you have a trip to Universal Studios, because it is right next to one of the resorts (Dockside Inn) that you can walk to and get a shuttle to the park which they get every 10 minutes so that way you don’t have to pay for parking. I’m happy to have found a hotel that takes 18 that’s right by Universal, because their resorts require to be 21 to check in.

The maintenance man kind of blew me off, and I had to prove to him his simple repair didn’t work and the microwave had to be replaced completely, but if he didn’t know if the microwave was not working I shouldn’t have to hon back-and-forth and discuss that with him. It should be his responsibility, follow thru on the the repair are replacement sometimes the employees have a chip on their shoulders

I have stayed here multiple times. The staff is great. The rooms are always clean. The amenities are good. There is less sun at the pool as you move close to the winter months. It is blocked out by the building. There are two large hot tubs and a sunning platform closeby where you get sun. The snack bar has great food. Rachel at the snack bar is a real sweetheart. One caveat. Beware of the resort fee.It is now $15 per night and it is not clearly evident on some booking sites. The room rates are reasonable, but you have to add $15 per night.

Front desk was courteous and got us another room, but we waited 5 hours for a room to be cleaned and had to remind them. The new room was still at the end of the hallway, but the shorter one. It did smell better and looked cleaner, plus had a softer bed, though still kinda firm. Some major annoying components were the water was barely warm, if at all. Many cold showers were had. The room left our luggage moist, which tells me the AC wasn’t working as it should. An odd thing was randomly through the night the desk lamp would flash really bright. We had to unscrew the lightbulb. Lastly, we had 4 people in the room, but any time they replaced our towels they gave us 2-3. Every day we had to ask for more towels. 2 days they didn’t bring any and we had to hunt them down. One morning we slept in and refused service, but called down to get new towels. They never arrived.

The only fault that I found with the hotel was, their shuttle to Universal departed and arrived only once in the morning and at night. It wasn't running all day. So for me, since I was going to HHN and wouldn't be leaving the park until 2am, I would be too late to catch the shuttle back to the hotel. Thankfully though, there was a Universal resort next door to Best Western that offered back and forth shuttles every few minutes! So I was able to walk over to them (about a 5 minute walk) and use their services. But overall, I was VERY happy with my stay!

I have stayed at this hotel several times and this last stay was unlike the previous ones. Room 641 AC took forever to cool the room down and it was on the coldest setting. The sink by the coffee maker didn’t drain properly nor did the shower. The staff noted my concerns but I hope they fix it. The room overall was clean and quiet despite it being fully booked. The view of the lake from the window was so beautiful I definitely will be staying there again (in a different room).

I travel for work and this is close to my job site. Great staff, great hotel, great price. When booking online there’s a resort fee that you pay at the hotel. It’s not crazy, just not disclosed online. The room was nice, clean, and quiet for the most part. For the price point it’s an excellent hotel in a decent location.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! We just recently stayed and we’re not happy for the community. The price we paid was similar to the comps around. You get more bang for your buck by spending a little bit more and staying at Universal Endless Summer Resorts RIGHT NEXT DOOR. The room was unsanitary, poor conditions, mold and mildew infested… and we even found pubic hair on the toilet seats and in the tub! DO NOT STAY HERE.

Upon arrival I was greeted with a friendly smile/welcome at the check in desk. However, I did not like my room not being cleaned on a daily basis and I had to sign a request form for my room to be cleaned. Each time I leave and returned my room key did not work. I have to keep activating my room key (room 510) at the check in desk. Whenever I go to the concierge desk to inquire about tours, I'm being approached and offered to buy time sharing properties from other companies which doesn't interest me. Apart from these 3 issues, everything else was ok. Hopefully if I happened to return in the near future, I expect a better experience from this hotel.

Room was clean, but overall it wasn't in the best condition. The walls had some damage (not a huge deal) but more importantly the door had quite a large gap on the side, so you could pretty much see through it. Bugs could theoretically walk right through the gap, it was at least a half and inch wide. If I was not there with my spouse, I would not have felt safe. Overall, location was great however, and I would stay there again just hope I got a better room.

For being a budget friendly hotel, I was pleasantly surprised with the facilities and the staff. I would’ve liked the gym to be 24hr access.

Bathrooms is not good. That’s what it always comes down to for me. Door won’t close and is rickety. Caulk all over the bathtub. Sink won’t drain. No matter how nice the hotel, if the bathroom is like this it’s a three star.

Great!!

The tv didn’t work consistently, the toilet ran nonstop. There was mold in the shower and a rusted gross shower head. The closet doors were rusted and off track making it a challenge to move them. And, even though the room clearly shows a microwave (and there was a place for one), it was missing. Repeated requests for help just responses that no one was available to help. The front desk just told us to stay in that room and wait for when maintenance could come up. Complete NIGHTMARE!

This is a much more economical way to stay close to universal, you can walk to dockside which is literally 50 yards from the hotel and jump on the free bus to Universal Studios, which is why I stayed at this hotel for $70 a night instead of $300 a night at dockside

It was fine. Nothing special, nothing terrible. We booked because it was close to Universal and we needed somewhere to sleep after Halloween Horror Nights. We were able to check in after midnight with no problems.

this is an older hotel, i found staff nice but they charged extra $35 resort fee once i arrived on top of the fees charged when booked. they only provide service to your room after 4 days (not acceptable when traveling with a family) i had to ask many times for sheets. the discounted tkts in the lobby is a time share and not discounted tkts, expect to be harassed every time you come in or out. didn't want to use shower because there was hair and black mold in tub. hotel is in great location maybe a mile to universal or "I" drive and was one of the best prices in that area.

I had a wonderful stay at best western. From check-in to check-out, the staff were warm and professional, making me feel welcome throughout. My room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Housekeeping maintained it daily with care. I especially enjoyed the pool, which made the experience even better. The location was convenient for exploring the area, and overall service exceeded expectations. I highly recommend best western and would gladly return on my next visit.

Staff members were very nice. Pricing was good for the duration of my stay (6 nights). The pool was nice and the location was very convenient if you plan on going to the parks. I was unhappy with the premade food as my salad was bad and made me second guess buying anything else. Their food otherwise was good. Last thing that I was not satisfied with was the air quality in the rooms. The AC unit was very loud and for some reason everyone I went with were severely congested but only in the rooms (possibly filter needs changing).

Cons: * The Wi-Fi was out. * There was adult content on the TV when i turned it on. * Electrical outlets wouldn’t hold plugs properly. * The A/C unit was so loud and disruptive at night it was difficult to sleep. * Poor water pressure in shower and sink. * Paint looked rough in multiple areas, with a water stain on the ceiling and peeling paint in the bathtub. * The first floor had a strong smell similar to cat litter. * Overall, the hotel feels very outdated. * I was offered a different room, but it had the same problems and wasn’t any kind of upgrade. When I asked for a real upgrade to make up for the inconveniences, I was told no. * No security in the parking lot, which didn’t feel safe. Pros: * The price was good for the area. * Great location. * Big, clean pool with two large, clean hot tubs. * Convenient snack/drink shop and vending machines. * Free parking. * On-site restaurant and bar with good food options (though I didn’t try them). Overall, while there are some positives, the number of issues made this a disappointing first experience with Best Western and I will not come back.

One of the worst hotels i have stayed in. The electrical is shot we had to keep turning a power strip back on we had to hold the cord in to the plug to iron with the 2nd broken iron given to us when we told them about electricity nothing was done. The shower os nasty no water pressure or hot water. The most uncomfortable bed pillows ever .Pool was the only nice thing in this over priced run down hotel
