The B.W. Lorson in Flora IL. is an above average Best Western property. Flora is not the red-hot center of tourism in southern Illinois but this property is fine. We stayed there three nights and had no complaints.

The room was non-smoking but had been a smoking room in the past. When we first entered the room it was a bit stale but the A/C unit freshened the room in short order.

Our first floor room had an operable window so when the temperature dropped in the evening we had fresh air. Sleeping was fine. The bed was perfectly acceptable. The inn is on a state highway but the traffic noise was not bad, even with the window open.

The room had two queen sized beds, a table, microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. The shower was good strength, the water had no smell and was plenty hot enough. The bathroom was normal sized but the stool was a bit close to the wall.

One odd thing: the desk was on the wall opposite the wired network connection. There was no wireless web connection so I needed to use my laptop sitting on the bed tethered to the wall with no AC plug close. If one is computer dependent this would be a problem. There is a computer in the lobby so checking Google News was easier there than in my room.

The staff was courteous, the bill had no phantom charges and the room was made-up each day.

All-in-all, it was a good stay.
