"For many years Best Western had a decent reputation as a nice, midrange hotel, a step above budget options, but certainly not anything high end. It was basically a reliable, clean place with no luxuries. I was in town for a concert, with a meeting in another town the next morning. Knowing I would be in my room from basically 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. I decided against more expensive options and booked the Best Western. Big Mistake. The hotel was laid out in a square. The corridors between sections were very cold, as were the elevators. The place smelled of old cigarette smoke. Nothing was dirty, but nothing looked or felt clean and fresh either. Breakfast started at 7 and there were no grab and go options for people with early departures. You might say I should have known because "you get what you pay for," but although I paid less than I would have for a quality hotel, I still felt like I should have gotten a better experience for the money I spent."
