We always stay at a Best Western. This one had a very pleasent staff. Very clean rooms and very quiet.

Driving south to Florida, we had pretty much reached our limit after 12 hours. We have had good experiences in the past with Best Western. The receptionist (male) at the front desk was very informative and helpful. The room was clean and looked to be updated, beds were comfortable, TV worked, shower was hot. If there is a complaint it would be the soundproofing from the other rooms (above), you could here the occasional banging and clunking. The breakfast area was small, but the only had cereal. The coffee was terrible. We would have like to see more fruit other than orange and apple juices and some dried up apples etc in a basket in their very small lobby.

So I stayed here and should have stayed somewhere else. To sum it up, you get what you pay for - and I knew I was getting a lower tier branded hotel for the money. It was just me, so I decided to go a little cheaper. The hotel actually isn't bad, but it sits right next to a run down gas station and is a little scary at night - single guys should be fine but probably not females.

Here is the kicker. I'm going to check out the next day and the clerk tells me he will give me money off of my bill if I write them a review and email it to him so he can get "credit" for it.

Seriously, for $49.00 a room it's pretty good - but no wonder they have a lot of reviews because they do things under the table. I probably won't ever be back in the area so it's no big deal to me.

Just a heads up to my fellow over-nighters.

My husband & I stopped to check in at the Best Western Garden Inn & Suites on our way home from a trip to Florida. We had seen a billboard on Highway 75 advertising a special rate for rooms at this Hotel, and asked about that rate. The desk clerk started raising her voice at us, saying if we think she's a liar, we don't have to stay there. My husband & I just looked at each other in disbelief at this rude & ridiculous response from the clerk, and decided that okay, we WON'T stay there. In my life, I've never experienced anything like this. I have no idea if that particular hotel has nice rooms or not, but with a desk clerk turning away customers like that, it's a wonder they have much business at all.
