Huge mold problem.. curious as to how they got their license to operate

2.0

I have called the health department , Expedia ( who I booked under) and best western corporation . My room was uninhabitable. . My room’s ceiling was covered in mold. The door almost didn’t want to open because the door seemed to be expanded…which is explained by the level of mold throughout the rooms ceiling. The nozzles for the sprinkler system in my room were RUSTED. The sheets on my bed were beyond damp, felt wet. ( and had a fresh looking stain in the middle of them. Oddly enough the furnishings in the room appeared to be brand new. When I asked for a different room they said they were booked even though the parking lot had MINIMAL cars, which is weird. I can not understand all the wonderful ratings this place has???? From my experience I would think it needs to be condemned. Oh, and the person who checked us in acted as if he was unaware of any of these issues….it was NUTS!!!!

I didn’t stay, and do not recommend. Integrity is a must!

My reservation was canceled within 8 hours of making it, because I called to let them know I would be checking in late to find out their pool was not usable. I was told I would not be charged yet they have not refunded my credit card! Horrible experience! Their pool is down and literally lied to by the management of this establishment! Avoid at all costs!

They lied to me. Dishonest!

The workers were really nice and the location was great

The pool was 10000”% disgusting. Green and filthy. My daughter who is 2 had to swim in the bathtub because the pool was a huge red flag

Not The Same

2.0

We've stayed at this property several times in the past. There is now new ownership. Our arrival was met with buckets and garbage cans on the floor of the entry level. I suppose to catch dripping water? (We should have taken a hint). Once in the room my wife noticed the entry/bathroom floor was slippery. She attempted to wipe up whatever was on the floor but it was just dirty. It appeared to have been mopped with a dirty mop. We called the front desk and they promptly came and mopped it. The Wi-Fi would work for a minute and then not. The shower had zero bath gel - only shampoo and conditioner. We should have left but were worn out from traveling all day. We had a reservation to stay there the next week but cancelled it upon checking out. Breakfast was good.
