    I travel weekly for work and events and I was very disappointed. The sheets were dirty, pillows were little squares not standard pillows. Pillow cases had make up and black stuff all over. Towels were all stained. There were dead bugs in the bathroom. Room smelled like mold. AC was very loud and made a whistling noise every time it would turn off. The TV didn’t work because there was no connection. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on outside. I arrived at 11pm after a 5 hour drive and left at 8am, couldn’t wait to leave. Horrible experience.

    Saludos, EXPEDIA: El personal fue atento. Variedad de alimentos del desayuno. La habitación estaba limpia y buena fragancia; aunque las toallas y las almohadas limpias, no nuevas, estaban bastante usadas. Lo único que NO me gustó fue que había que solicitar el servicio de arreglar la habitación, cuando en todos los hoteles lo realizan diariamente. Al realizar el "check-in", NO nos adviertieron que había que solicitarlo, porque sino NO limpiaban diariamente la habitación. En general, aceptable, por la ubicación. Gracias.

    Everything. From the pleasant English owners to the reception staff, housekeeping and breakfast. All was very good. We had visited this hotel a few times and it's always been good. Our only gripe was a very slow flow from the cold sink tap (faucet). It wasn't really a problem as the shower was fine. So just a general moan, not a complaint!

    The location was great as it was close to UCF where my son attends. We were attending his college graduation. The lady at the front desk was not friendly. She was on the phone when we approached the Desk for sheets and a pillow for the sofa bed. She continued to talk on the phone to apparently a coworker complaining that the Breakfast person called out for the next day. We stood there for quite a while until she acknowledged us. Breakfast was awful all three days! We figured the first day was because they were short staffed. It was the same food each day, no variety. The toaster was broken, the waffle mix was too thick the first day and too thin the second day. Which didn't make for good waffles. Scrambled eggs and sausage were offered each day. White bread, which we could not toast. We opted not to eat there the third day. Which was unfortunate considering the price we paid for our room! It was very expensive and I'm assuming it was because of the graduations taking place that weekend. As for the room, the bathtub was so dirty, and it was obvious that it has not been scrubbed in a long time. We had two bath towels for four people staying in the room. Which was in the reservation. No washcloths, no shampoo and one roll of toilet paper. There were not any pool towels either. When we asked the lady at the front desk if we could get some towels, she said they did not have any. We went back several hours later and we were told by a different lady that they didn't have any because the hotel was booked. It just was not a good experience at all. I also want to add the pool was not clean and full of leaves. This hotel needs some TLC!!

    The location Stayed there before and everything was good. So I booked there again May4th-5th and it was horrible! Upon entering the room it was an unusual smell but I always bring my own disinfectant spray. One of my beds had a spot on the duvet, the tub had a ring around it and hair in the tub letting me know the room wasn’t clean which explained the smell. The inside of the toilet was also dirty! The window didn’t have a screen and the refrigerator didn’t work at all. Reported this to the night clerk but I was told there’s nithing she can do about it because she was there alone. The wash towels was so thin and worn that once they were wet you can see through them literally they may as well had holes in them. The next morning no one asked about my stay nor my complaint which really bothered me. Until they go under New management or get housekeepers that cares I’ll never stay here again which is upsetting because I come there to visit my daughter at UCF.

    The air was broken in the first room and the staff told us it would only take an hour to cool off. Since it was already 8pm, I said we would rather have a different room. The staff member at the front desk was clearly annoyed, but shouldn’t a hotel room’s air work properly and the room not smell stagnant?

    Very disappointed in this hotel and our stay here. Once we arrived we entered the room to a very strong MOLD smell. Noticed dirty spots on the floor all throughout the room. The towels and wash clothes had hair stuck all over them. We had to stop at target just to get Lysol disinfectant spray just to make the room smell better. All the appliances were not plugged in having us to move things around to plug in. The tv was in Spanish and could not figure out how to change it. Called the front desk and the poor girl working the front was the only one working in the hotel on a Friday !! She came up to try and figure out the tv and had to reset it but that didnt give us any channels to watch only 15 stations on antenna once it was up and running. The view was of a run down basketball court. Very dissatisfied in this hotel, we left the second we woke up! Did not want to stay a second more.

    On check-in, the service was efficient and beyond helpful to provide me with use of a travel item I had not packed. A+++ rating! As a frequent traveler, I rate this hotel as the best breakfast facility I have ever used. The space was adequate for the large turnout. The space was superior in layout for ease of use, with meticulous presentation of the many offerings, and each day all food was fresh and well prepared. To top it all, a special touch to the space was added by introduction of elegant flowers. If all that wasn’t enough, the hostess was most effective in keeping the room clean and adequately supplied for all with her most pleasant demeanor. This hotel is the service model for what travelers want!

    Room was clean and ready for early checkin at 1200 for an extra $15 fee. Breakfast had very minimal options, mostly just carbs (muffins/cereal). The biggest issue I had was with how loud the AC unit was - kept me from being able to sleep as it was constantly turning on/off during the night and unable to hold a steady temperature. Not fancy by any means, but doable for a short stay. Conveniently located near major highways.

    And it's a close tie for my primary concern. One is the second floor door in the stairwell had no handle so you were unable to enter the second floor from the stairwell. The next day there was a handle on the door though it was not functionable. I'm pretty sure this may be fire code related. And the other close to primary concern is that someone entered my room while my do not disturb tag was hung. While emergency entrance is acceptable... it is not acceptable if you don't notify the guest that you did so. The built in receptacles for each light fixture over the two bedside tables struggled to maintain contact with my three prong cord so that charging was "on" and "off". Coffee maker didn't work. Don't think I'll be returning to this one.

    While we were there, for the first few days, we had an excellent woman preparing everything and keeping everything clean. When the person did not show up, the breakfast was not prepared until the BW staff team tried to prepare breakfast for the customers. The last two days we were there, a man was preparing everything and he was excellent and caring for the guests for breakfast. I am very dissatisfied with Best Western for their cleanliness. The towels were worn and torn. The floors in our room turned our socks black. The staff at the desk were very accommodating and helpful. The pool was not kept clean and mold was present at the pool. Would not go into pool. I have been to many Best Westerns and probably not rent from you again.

    Had to ask for staff to clean room after 2 days not cleaned. I didn't know that you had to ask. Every hotel I have been to has just cleaned every day. Also, towels were disgusting. Almost every bath towel I saw had stains on them. Room was recently updated and was nice furniture and look. TV had some connectivity issues, no drink coasters to protect all wood furniture, stain on couch cushion, stain on drapes, earwig bugs in bathroom on floor on 3rd floor, Most of this did not bother me much. But helps for them to know.

I was driving from GA for the race and they cancelled my reservation to I’m assuming someone standing there demanding a room. I was advised once I got there that the front desk host accepted a large kickback for canceling my reservation to someone else! Very disappointed and will never book with another Best Western ever👎

    Nothing Awful! The breakfast food was old. Rock hard bagels, dry hash browns and sausages that was very clearly reheated from early in the week. Mustard packets that were so old the mustard was brown. The lobby was dirty, clearly not vacuumed recently, trash on the floor and debris on counter tops. The room wasn't better hair all over the bathroom floor. Stained duvet covers and possible blood on the lamp shade

    The hotel smelled like mildew throughout our experience. There was a lack of towels available, and the ones that we had were dirty. We requested more towels and was told that there were no more towels in the entire hotel due to the hotel being sold out. Then we were given a couple of towels a few hours later. We were staying at the hotel for 3 nights, and had to ask that the room be cleaned, it was not automatically cleaned. Unfortunately I will not stay at this hotel ever again and will not recommend.

    I came for a quick overnight trip. The room was impressive upon walking in. Clean and spacious. Here's what didn't work: the TV a wall of outlets the inner motorized blind, and most importantly the phone did not work either. That is a safety issue. Overall with all the electronics not working I was very disappointed. That shows tremendous lack of attention to detail. Of course the staff offered to move me to another room but I had already bathed and unpacked Etc and moving would have been a huge hassle.

    We stayed here for three nights, and it was a horrible experience. The room reeked of cigarette smoke, the bathroom was filthy, and everything—from the room to the hotel itself—was DUSTY. I requested a different room immediately upon check-in due to the smell, but they claimed none were available. They promised to move us the next day, but that never happened. The towels were stained, and the elevator smelled like raw onions and sewage. We didn’t even bother trying the breakfast—who would want to eat at such a dirty hotel? Do yourself a favor and spend a little more to stay somewhere better. Zero stars!
