Reviews and Ratings
This Best Western is a decent mid-range option with clean and up-to-date rooms. The friendly and efficient service adds a nice touch to your stay. The location, while not perfect for all plans, was ideal for our destinations in Watertown. Although the free breakfast was not as generous as in other Best Westerns, the overall value for money is satisfactory.
The hotel has excellent rooms for the price and area, with a unique restroom door design. However, the cleaning could be improved as there was noticeable dust along the wall. The service is pleasant and helpful, although there were challenges with finding the room and accessibility for handicapped guests. The location is nice and attentive to customer needs, but lacking the usual free breakfast. The dining offers a basic spread and buffet but lacks more variety. Overall, a mid-range hotel with good value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is ideal for a mid-range hotel, offering a good atmosphere but struggling with maintenance issues. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with both courteous and rude encounters. The dining experience was subpar with artificial-tasting food, but the facilities were decent overall.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, with a very comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful, although there were some challenges with accessibility. The location was convenient, but there was a lack of complimentary breakfast. The dining options were basic, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel provided a comfortable stay with friendly staff in a convenient location. However, the room size may not be ideal for families, and there were some concerns about the staff's attentiveness.
