Best Western Executive Inn

A $150 hold is a lot to tie up, especially if your bank takes as long as 15 days to release it. I've spent over 14 years working on the road and staying in hotels across the country, including four-star places, and I've never had one put that much on my debit card for incidentals. My problem isn't just the hold itself. The front desk woman never told me the amount up front, even though we had a lighthearted chat about how silly these holds are. That feels shady to me. The little TV in the room isn't worth $150, and neither are the towels or anything else there. If you can't have $150 tied up for a while, keep driving to the next hotel.

This place was spotless from the parking lot through the lobby and hallways to my room, and it was super quiet. The bed was comfortable and clean, the towels were decent and bright white, and every employee was lovely. I stayed four nights with my service dog and was treated with the utmost respect. The room didn't smell like other dogs had been in it, which anyone who's smelled that will understand. It's smoke-free and pet-free except for service animals. The hotel does require a large incidental security deposit for a service animal, so be ready to show proof of registration. The no-pet policy is posted all over. I really appreciated how well the owners keep the hotel. Thanks for a stress-free stay. I will absolutely come back, and I'm grateful I found the place. One downside for me: there are NO ELEVATORS. I should have read the details before booking. I also bring my own toiletries, so I don't care much about the basic supplies provided, two generic little bars of soap and generic shampoo and conditioner. Still, the no elevator kills me. I checked in Thursday night for just one night to see if the room met my high standards before staying longer, and it did. I was 100% satisfied despite the stairs.

A car problem had me booking at the last minute, and the stay turned out great. Everyone was kind and accommodating, the check-in was easy, and my room was comfortable and clean. I'd be happy to stay here again.

The room was clean, but it had that usual tired, musty smell. There's no elevator, so pack light. The inn's convenient to our wedding venue, though I don't see why it's called “executive.” Nothing about it was impressive. When we pulled in, we heard gunfire from what seems to be a gun range up the street. At least we weren't under attack. I was sitting in the lobby waiting nine minutes so I wouldn't have to pay the $25 early check-in charge. There was a room available and only a couple of people in line, so the wait seemed ridiculous. The desk clerk eventually relented and gave us the key, but she had already put through the $25 charge without authorization and would need to reverse it.
