Best Western Plus All Suites Inn

8/10 Good

"Elevator was out of order so we had to get a first floor room. It was noisy due to breakfast being right outside our room. The window was facing the hall and even with closed shutters allowed light intrusion. The breakfast was somewhat limited compared to other best westerns we have stayed at. The coffee and hot chocolate dispenser wasn’t delivering quality product (mostly water). Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable, too. The location was convenient for our needs. Overall our stay was satisfactory."
