Staff was great, especially the woman working weekend mornings! The place smelled like mildew, especially in the rooms. The area around the beds was dirty, there was even a half eaten mint on the floor next to the bed. The mini fridge was full of the last guests food. The shower did not look clean so we did not use it. It did just fine for what we needed, and the breakfast was good! There was only one plug in for us to use behind the bedside table, which was not convenient, but staff can't help with upgrades!.

This hotel was ok. Lots of good breakfast options with protein. My issues were mainly the cleanliness of the room. There were other peoples hair in the bed and shower, it didn’t seem like they changed the sheets. There was a spot in the room where the door made an awful sound and gave in a little, it’s concerning and could be dangerous if someone falls through the floor. For a quick stay while traveling we were fine but they also didn’t return the $75 deposit and we had to call our bank to get it back.

Room was great, however, no hot water in the morning. Had to call the front desk who had to turn it on and wanted to let me run the water until it became hot...took almost half an hour. Suggest that the hotel turn on the hot water earlier or leave it on for travelers who want to leave early

On arrival we were put in a room that wasn't even clean yet. There was trash, bed not made,etc. They did put us in another room. We put out a privacy door hanger and they ignored it and came in anyway. We found out this when our door key didn't work. My husband went down to get it fixed and they told us that they thought we had checked out. Now how did they come to that conclusion

We regret not making this hotel our first choice when we came to Emporia. Our original stay was at Travel Inn & Suites. The room smelt of smoke and didn't feel clean and safe. Glad we made the choice to stay at Best Western. Great staff, easy parking, delicious breakfast and plenty to do around the hotel. Thanks for making our first time to Emporia worth it!

An adequate place to spend a night however the bed felt hard and old. Bathtub had rust around the drain. Front desk guessed about early check in fee which made me wonder if it was really a thing? Forgot to hold a card for incidentals and had to come find me to get that on hold.

Property is right next to a Walmart and numerous restaurants and other businesses. Lots of extra traffic, including delivery truck/semi. Restaurants make it easy to find something you like close by, so that is convenient.

You had to push really hard on the door of the room to get it to open. Once in the room you had to push really hard on the door to close it. The city was under a boil order. There was no bottle water provided to the rooms. If you wanted to brush your teeth you had to purchase water. The exit door at the end of c the hall doesn't lock. Anyone could just walk in without using a key card.

Not ALWAYS dog friendly

It says pet friendly but when I arrived, I was told there was no pet rooms available. There was hardly anyone there. After a lengthy phone call I couldn’t understand, they agreed to rent me a room for another $35.. felt like a scam. I would have went somewhere else but was too tired.

The hotel was nice and clean. The room however, i told the service desk the maids were not cleaning correctly. There was an empty soda bottle under the night table along with months of dust and another piece of trash. There was something on a towel the left in the room. I used to clean for a company and this would have been unacceptable

My stay at the Best Western in Emporia, KS was a mixed experience. After traveling 8 1/2 hours to get there, I was held up for 40 minutes at the front desk because they didn't want to honor the price that was confirmed through Hotels.com. And, apparently I was not the first according to the front desk staff. Evidently, the hotel management is wanting people to book directly with them and not go through 3rd parties so that they earn more money. As part of their covert war, they made me suffer through a long wait and conversations with Hotels.com where they mentioned that the \"virtual card\" (something they receive from Hotels.com) would not work. I suspect this is something the hotel programmed or did on their end to not accept the lower negotiated rate. I eventually got in after paying the hotel directly (not through Hotels.com) with a different credit card and a slightly higher rate.

I actually had a separate reservation at the same hotel for the following two nights and had no problem re-checking in with my hotels.com reservation.

Other than that, the hotel room and breakfast were decent and we enjoyed spending time at the pool with our grand kids. And the location is in close walking distance to various restaurants and retail stores.

Would have been a good stay except for the torture they needlessly put me through the first night.

I like the location off in the back was nice. My room was a single kind for two people and I only had one pillow. My room key didn’t work numerous of times. So I kept having to go back downstairs. Outside of that it was a good stay.

10/10 all around!

The front desk staff when I checked in was amazing! He was so friendly and he knew I was traveling with a small child, so he took extra time to mention things to do with children while staying. He also gave a good dinner recommendation that gave a discount for staying at the hotel. He was very charismatic and welcoming. The hotel was very clean, from the entrance to the room. Comfortable, modern, good bed, cool AC, and quiet! The laundry facility and pool were in order and working great. At check out, another employee was very kind and helpful as well!

The place was conveniently located and felt safe. It was average at best. The main negative was that the room and property smelled bad. It had an odor that was musty or mildewy and my door locks were a challenge to use as they were off track, slightly sideways, or the door frame of my room was slightly off so I had to work to engage the lock. The carpet was dirty in my room which I was aware of more so due to the very clean white bedding where every time I got on it there was debris from walking across the floor barefoot.
