Was a good hotel. How ever the breakfast was the same every day. And im pretty sure they put up the left over eggs and served them again the next few days in a row. Micro wave burnt eggs and cheese same gross sausage every day. Uncooked hash triangles. Not enough milk had to keep asking for things. Coffee cold and not out on time. Night manager sarcastic and not found many times. Had to ask for clean towels multipule times during these 4 days. One room cleaning person was rude one was not. All I asked for was clean towels every day no need to do sheets. 4 day stay all in all wont go back. Could be a good place with effort!

I was skeptical for this motel when I pulled up but it as a pleasant surprise. I was concerned about road noise from nearby I40 but there was none at all. Room was nicely updated. Bed was comfortable. It did take a bit for the AC to get the room cooled down and we were missing some necessities that the front desk quickly corrected. Oh and the fridge runs a little cold— woke up to the mess of a frozen pop 😂 make sure you put those on the bottom shelf!

Our Garmin map gave us inaccurate directions but we found the hotel to be close to the freeway. Initial appearance at night was dark but we never felt unsafe. Staff was nice, are room opened directly to the parking lot and a large grassy area which are pup loved. Beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. The outdoor pool was closed (April 6). The breakfast was basic, but we left early.

Emily at the front desk was very friendly.
As far as the room, thank you for having pet friendly rooms available for people like us traveling with our pets. Unfortunately , Our room smelled like pet urine. We have been on the road for 2 plus weeks. Most of the pet friendly rooms in other hotels have had LVT flooring which is much easier to clean and the rooms didn’t smell. Replacing the carpet with LVT flooring would really help.

Overall, very good

The room was very nice. The lobby was clean and smelled good. The bathroom door was broke, but not a big deal. Overall a very good stay I would recommend this place on a budget.

This is not a typical Best Western property as you enter your room for exterior doors. Lobby was small but adequate. Check in was fast and the attendant was pleasant and kind.

Room was subpar and had a musty/previously smoked in smell. The bedding and towels were clean but the overall cleanliness of the floors and behind the nightstand needed attention. It was midnight when we checked in so we did not address the issue of the odor. Would not stay here again.

My check-in went perfectly fine, staff was very friendly, very helpful very informative, however, after checking, I went straight to my room and laid down. After about an hour, I got up and took a shower, then return to the bed and fell asleep. Woke up at 5 AM hearing door, slamming, and people being loud.. at which time I noticed that I had numerous bug bites all over my body, and I began to itch severely. Very unfortunate situation., I will never be back.

Upon arrival the young man who checked us in was excellent (Matthew maybe was his name?). He called after we got in to be sure all was good.
After we got somewhat settled & utilized the small refrig, I noticed it wasn’t cooling correctly. I called & he said someone would come & look at it. An Indian man came, was very rude; said had too much food in it & left! This is the first problem.

Then, under tornado warnings, sirens going off & pouring rain, thunder/lightening, several people came in & asked for a room for the night & this same man told them “power is out so can’t check u in so u can’t get a room & leave if u want” and spoken in a very nasty, demeaning way to these people!! Really….in the middle of
Sirens & pouring rain, thunder & lightening and he treats potential customers this way?? We invited one group to come to our room & wait. Others sat in breakfast area & waited. This owner/manager, was extremely rude to stranded travelers showing no
Compassion!! It certainly does not speak well of Best Western hotels!! I have NEVER seen this uncaring attitude in any hotel/motel and will NEVER visit this hotel
Again & be sure to steer others away from there!! Best Western is much better than how this man treated his consumers!!!

Van Buren Stop

Don't really like hotel rooms with outside entrances and no elevator due to our age and mobility issues but clerk (Matthew) as able to get us into a 1st floor handicapped room. Also - once we got settled into the room, Matthew called to make sure everything was ok. That was a first fpr me! Extremely thoughtful
The only real issue I had with the room was the poor lighting and extremely small bathroom counter space. Breakfast was ok but coffee was really bad (watered down). Other than that, was fine for a one night stay.

Didn't Stay

I was unable to make my trip due to car issues. The Hotel management was reluctant to cancel my stay which leaves me to believe they have no compassion and are only interested in profits. I did try to cancel two weeks in advance. I would not recommend this place.

Depends upon your expectations

This is an older facility in need of updates. It was mostly clean (as much as can be expected for the age of the building). The staff were great - friendly and helpful. The internet was painfully slow and erratic. Towels threadbare and small. It was, though, a quiet stay - not always a situation when pets are allowed.

My family and I stayed here over thanksgiving. Every front desk person we had an interaction with was amazingly nice and super helpful with anything we needed! Breakfast was simple and easy. It was quiet and calm which was really nice and made for an easy sleep each night! The bathrooms were clean and easy to use. Check in and check out we’re super simple and quick. We were able to park right in front of our hotel door which was amazing for getting stuff in and out of there! It’s also tucked back by lowes so it makes it easier to get out of the lot and drive to get food or to go anywhere you need rather than trying to get onto a busy road immediately. Overall it’s a nice hotel and would stay again.

I was pretty shocked this was a Best Western. I'm not a fan at staying at this type of hotel, or motel in this case. If I didn't see the sign say it was a Best Western I would have assumed it was a regular roadside mom and pop trucker stop hotel. The only redeeming thing was the room was pretty decent and it was clean. The bathroom was ridiculous as you nearly have to step into the shower to close the door to use the bathroom/ or take a shower. I should have looked the property over more when I was booking, so it was my bad for not noticing what I paid for. So this one is on me... But I've learned my lesson, Best Western will be the last choice for me in the future.
