El hotel esta bastante limpio en las areas comunes. Por ejemplo los pasillos y la cafeteria.
La habitacion muy limpia, un poco reducido el espacio y lo mejor es que no hay alfombra en la habitacion.
El desayuno caliente que incluye huevo revuelto, cafe, yogurth y fruta es un buen complemento para iniciar el dia

Just a night stay
The Mirror had filled off the wall so I just leaned it against the wall. The tub didn’t drain very well. Seems for the money spent that it would have been a bit better

I booked the Best Western PLUS because I had been to one in Ok. which had a Fabulous breakfast! Very limited and the pancakes were on a paper plate under a heat lamp.
Disappointed they didn't have a hot tub.

The room was excellent. The only negative was the Continental breakfast. We went down at 8:30 and there was no coffee left and scarcely anything else to eat. I really wasn't expecting to be competing for what was left to eat with the hotel cleaning staff. The yogurt however was surprisingly delicious.
