Best Inn Motel

Best Inn Motel

8/10 Good
"Very clean room for price. No bugs. Everything worked in my room. Hardwood floors. Medium-soft, comfortable king bed. Staffer friendly but gave a confusing description of where room was. It was confusing partly because some rooms have keycard entry, some keypad (mine was a keypad with code given at front desk) and partly because rooms are numbered, then lettered out of order, then numbered again, with an unlabeled room in the middle, so that room A was past room 8 and room B, but before room 10. Thinking it might have been my lettered room that I hadn’t yet reached, I pushed open a partly opened door for an unlabeled room only to get screamed at in the dark. Guess that wasn’t mine! When I finally found it, the location just made no sense. But once I was in, the room was very good and quiet."

"There is remodeling but the room we had was very nice. The shower and bed were great! It was a new remodel. The staff was very helpful and very kind. The only problem I had was from the smell of the hallway cleaner. I was allergic, but that is not the hotels fault. It smelled good and was very clean.

Exactly what you need during a midnight check-in on a cross country road trip. The room had fresh linens, shining surfaces, sufficient amenities, and the whole property was tidy.
