“BED BUGS!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011
4
people found this review helpful

I recently stayed at this hotel (room 127) for two nights. The first day the maid never cleaned the room even though I mentioned it to the front desk and was assured someone would come by. The second night I woke up at 3:30A.M. to find BED BUGS crawling on me. The front desk staff and manager acted as if I was making a big deal out of nothing. i was offered another room which, of course, I didn't want. I was told they could not refund my money because I had booked it through an online agent, Hotwire. Hotwire will only give me a $25 dollar credit to be used the next time I book a hotel.

I will NEVER stay at another Best Western or use Hotwire ever again!!!

Room Tip: Before you even check in and move your bags into the room, ask to see the room. Specifically, check...

“Super Nice Hotel for under $75 !!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

Stayed at this property for my daughters Navy graduation and was very impressed with how spacious and well equipped the rooms were. The one negitive is the coffee they serve with breakfast. AAAAGGHHHHH !!!!!! It is closer to tea than coffee. The saving grace is that there is a Dunkin Donuts in front of the hotel to get your coffee fix. Other than that it's a great place to stay.

I apologize for the coffee not being appropriate. I am certain we can take some recommendations in regards to what flavor or blend you prefer.

All in all, I do thank you for choosing us and also for enjoying your stay with us for the braduation ceremony.

“Worst customer service of any hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We booked a room with this hotel on priceline. Priceline only promises a room for 2 people, but suggests calling the hotel to request a different room. We use priceline quite frequently as we have relatives in the Chicago area. When I called to ask if we could request a different room type ( 2 beds instead of 1) the regional manager who answered the phone was less than hospitable. He was very rude once he realized I had booked with priceline. When I asked if they had a different type of room available he said no. I told him I was looking right at his website and it showed there were several available for the same dates I was staying. He argued with me and would not let me speak a word. Every time I tried to ask him a question he would get more argumentative and finally said "we don't work with priceline." When I asked why his hotel was on there he said "Priceline just picks we don't have a say in it." Really, I find that hard to believe. Why would your company work with them. A hotel does not have to participate in Priceline if they do not want to. When I would ask him a question he would mock me and say "first you wanted this, then this, now you want this...." Who talks to their customers like this. Then he wanted to argue with me about the price I got on priceline and how I should not have gotten that. For being a "Regional Manager" he had no clue how his hotel operates, why kind of rooms his hotel has, and how reservation websites work. I told him he was acting like he was mad that I used priceline. He argued that he wasn't. Really, I find that hard to believe. Most hotels are much easier to work with. This was a terrible experience and I would not expect to be spoken to like that by an employee, let alone a manager. I would never recommend this hotel to someone, nor will I ever stay there again.

Dear Madam,

I apologize for the inconvenience at the hotel and also the miscommunication with our Regional Manager. Typically our Regional Manager is very hospitable, however I will speak with him regarding the same and during your next visit we can assure you a upgrad to a larger room. Since our room with two beds and sleeper sofas are priced differently we would need to request you to incur a minor rate difference.

I hope this information is helpful to you and hope you give us another chance to serve you better.

Sincerely,

Jeshal Sheth

“Nice place close to 6 flags”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2011

I was surprised the place was very clean and quiet. There was a nice continental breakfast downstairs where we were able to make our own heart-shaped waffles :). Staff was friendly. Room was incredibly clean. Beds were comfortable. There is also and indoor swimming pool & hot tub located on the lobby level.
