The hotel could stand to put the heat on in the hallways and room where you eat your breakfast. The rooms were clean and quiet and we enjoyed our stayed. Easy driving to a lot of great shopping and dining areas. Thank you from Canada!

Not happy
I will not be booking this hotel again any time in the near future. Firstly, it is under construction, which we were not informed about, zero atmosphere and a strong chemical smell, I assume from the carpets. Most importantly, I was given an inferior room that I did not book, the staff was very rude and apparently they did not even have the jacuzzi suite with a king bed that they advertised and I booked. I was given a standard room with 2 queen beds and they insisted that the reservation was confirmed by hotels.com, which was not true. No apology, nothing. The staff was just miserable and the breakfast was awful. I'm told the restaurant (Daniella's) is very good, but I do not believe they are actually affiliated with the hotel, so my recommendation is to eat at the restaurant, but stay somewhere else!!

Found out upon arrival that the “breakfast “ was unavailable due to ongoing maintenance This added a cost to our visit and was not on the website or we would have went elsewhere Found a ranch dressing bottle in the fridge and a still damp washcloth in the washroom Ice machine out of order I would like to be compensated for the additional cost of having to purchase breakfast for 4 people instead of having it included in our agreement with the hotel and Expedia. This is something that should have been identified on every website that Best Western advertises on Completely unacceptable

No notification of construction and rude staff
The whole lobby and breakfast area is under construction. The floor was all torn up and sharp pieces of metal were just thrown around on the floor. There was no breakfast. We got no notification of any of this. The woman at the front desk was incredibly rude and dismissive about all of it.

Under construction, no breakfast served.
The hotel was under renovations. The lobby was covered in mud, there were tools strewn about on the floor and now warning or signs. Guests had to step over the messy cardboard packaging from tiles navigate a construction zone while entering or exiting. Further, there was no breakfast offered or any accommodation in place of this - none of this was mentioned on Hotels.com prior to the booking. I’m sure it’ll look great when it’s done and the room was fine - except we did not get any housekeeping service for the two night stay. Rooms were fine and comfortable but dusty and dirty around the corners and crevices

Under renovation. No breakfast as advertised since that area No ice in machine. Sign said go to first floor and use that machine. Couldn’t use front door because it was taped off. I had to go all the way around the back of the building lugging suitcases in the dark. Took two trips to front desk on different floor to get keys to work. When complained to front desk and suggested a discount since they had increased the price of the room $25 a night when I had to go from 3 nights to two, I was told no discount in sarcastic manner. When I said what about the breakfast as advertised, I was told it was free anyway you weren’t paying for it do no discount on room.
