Can hear other guests talking in rooms next to you, and walking over top of you. Very thin walls- paint chipping on ceiling in bathroom. Could use a makeover.

Overnight stay
I thought the hotel was slightly overpriced for a Best Western. Hotels.com showed an $85 price but i was charged $98. Otherwise, the hotel was good for a quick overnight stay. It was clean enough. We had plenty of hot water and a decent shower. Breakfast was average hotel fare. Parking was tight.

I had a comfortable and convenient stay, although the pillows could have been more comfortable. All the staff were very helpful. I only had a little attitude incident with the staff who came at 11:06 to ask me when I was checking out, even though I was already packed and brushing my teeth.
