Staff was super - The hotel not so much.
Way overpriced for an outdated and well-worn facility that should be rated and priced as a low-budget motel.
We were on the motorcycle all day and booked this based on the pictures, as we wanted a bit of comfort after a long day in the saddle. We could as well have booked one of the other motels in town and gotten the same 'value' for much less.
We expected more from a Best Western.

We have small dogs that like to bark. They didn't hear the neighbors doors close or people talking so they were quiet the whole time. The hotel was almost full so there were people around. Nice soundproofing. And its a very safe, we left and accidentally left the door not closed all the way. We were gone for HOURS and nothing was touched, everything as we left it.

The room was comfortable, with average furnishings. The complimentary breakfast was good. The things we didn't like were: Our room was on the 2nd floor with no elevator; we are 70+ years old and have some heavy suitcases, which made for a good workout. Also, the TV was not connected to the internet; we were hoping to watch our Netflix subscription.

Terrible experience.
Two of three staircases to the second floor were closed forcing us to walk all the way around the building with our luggage. Once in our room the bathroom was pretty dirty. Caulking over caulking looked sloppy. Only one pair of towels. The room faced east and the curtains were bare minimum efforts to keep the sun out. This was not a $250 per night experience. Breakfast in the morning was hard as a rock and looked like prison slop.

Staff was super friendly as always, but we didn't have any coffee cups in the room so we had to go get some. But other than that it was a perfect stay.

For an out of the way place it is stunning how well the place functions! There are plenty of places to eat nearby from traditional small town fare to brew pubs.

Refund
I was charged $237 for my room
The guy that was travling with us got the same room for $110 and was given a box of donuts. When i asked the girl about it she said, oh well.
We were traveling together and checked in toghether. We were on the same reservation. This makes no sense. I'm owed a refund.

Our bedding was dirty and there was a light outside of our room that flashed all night. We could not close the blinds to hide it. It’s sad because this hotel used to be very clean and nice.

It’s what I would expect in a small rural town. Rooms were clean, employees were nice, breakfast was fine. If I’m this area this is the best place to stay in this town. There’s a little restaurant a block away that is really good.
