SureStay by Best Western McAlester

Clean rooms, cold AC, and comfy beds. A good stay for the price.

We got a great night's sleep, even with the brightly lit parking lot outside. The blackout shades did their job, and the bed, pillows, and blankets were all comfortable. There was plenty of room for our suitcases, and the layout worked well. We liked the simple grab-and-go breakfast with prepackaged items. The night employee was wonderful, and the morning employee was great too. It's right off the highway. I usually go for bigger brands or fancier hotels, but this one was my favorite. Such a hidden gem, I'm really glad we stayed.

The lot is bright and has room to park a trailer, which was handy. The rooms are clean, updated, and have comfortable beds, plus a coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, and roughly 50-inch flatscreen with a great picture and Direct TV. Breakfast is simple continental fare with good dark roast coffee. Yogurt and milk were the only protein options. Half-and-half would be a welcome addition. I won't use powdered creamer, it tastes awful and ruins good coffee.

Good location, just far enough off the highway to cut down on the noise but still an easy drive. There's a nice restaurant within walking distance next door. The room was clean and very nice, and the shower had good pressure and temperature. The bed was comfortable for a hotel bed.
