Check-in was a nightmare. The rest was mostly great. The good: I traveled solo with two toddlers. It was safe, quiet and the cleaning staff was really sweet and conscientious. The breakfast was good with both hot and cold items and a good variety! The bad: I had two toddlers and the website said there was an elevator. Despite having booked months in advance and arriving at 3:30pm (check-in was 3:00pm), there were no clean rooms available on the wing where the elevator was working. The check-in gal said she'd call housekeeping to see if there were any clean rooms in the wing with the elevator but she didn't call right away and opted instead to check in two more, separate individuals without kids in tow while I circled the lobby in the stroller hoping mine would be content while she sorted out the room situation. After waiting past their patience, they began to scream and meltdown (we'd been driving all day), only for her to call and find out there were still no clean rooms and I was forced to carry all our luggage (including all the gear for toddler sleep) along with two kids, by myself up and down the stairs. I was sweating! Also, the pool was pretty cold. We swam bc the toddlers really wanted to but it took some willpower to muster through staying in the frigid water. The carbon monoxide detector wasn't working (probably battery dead). I let the front desk know. Also, I always travel with my own bc this is a huge gap in safety at hotels nationwide & globally.

I had booked/requested a second-floor room and ended up in the first floor room that was handicap accessible, which we do not need. It was possibly the worst room in the hotel next to the elevator and parking lot access door, with a door outside to the hallway that slammed loudly every time someone would come in and out of the corridor. The room was definitely not soundproof as we could hear people using the bathrooms in their rooms around us, the ice machine beeping, and anyone talking in the hallway We also had intense highway noise and a parking lot right outside our window. The hotel is very rundown. Our room itself had a very dirty bathroom with hair in the shower floor and a dirty ceiling. The carpet in the room was very dirty The microwave was very smelly inside and the plate was not the correct plate so it could not be used. The lightbulbs in the room were very jarring to the eye with super bright fluorescent bulbs, I asked to move rooms, but the hotel said that they could not because it had been booked through a third-party and that they were sold out. I’m not sure if this was true. All of the toiletries in the room were made with a nut oil (afghan) and one of our travelers is extremely allergic to nuts. Do better Expedia. Do better Best (WORST) Western.

The hotel wasn't bad but the front desk employee was very hard to understand her English. Also i want to take a shower in the morning but it was no shampoo no body wash no conditioner all the bottles were empty so i didn't like at all and skipped my shower. Breakfast was very limited not a lot of choices.
