This property was no where near anything promised. Very small with debilitated exterior. So close to freeway was loud. No elevator. The bathroom had hair in the tub and in the floor, a disgusting stained shower curtain, and the bottom of tub had some sort of extremely worn mat in it. Beds were rick hard. I will never stay at a best western again nor prepay using Expedia.

It wasn't terrible, very outdated, no stairs, bed as hard as a rock and the room has a musty old smell. I went an bought lysol and clorox wipes and gave the room a good wipe down.
