“Get in your car and drive away as fast as possible!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2011

This was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stopped at. We paid for 1 night and then went up to the room. As we entered we were greeted by the most putrid smell I've ever smelled. There was some kind of meat in the refrigerator that had been there so long that it had molded over and made the room more repulsive in smell than in sight. Obviously they did not have anyone clean this room and it had been a while since the last person was there. We took our things, demanded our money back and drove far away to a decent hotel in another town. This place is nasty.

“Better look at the sheets before you go to bed!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2009

Bad location. Right next to the interstate. Traffic and emergency veh will wake you up repeatedly. Big hole in sheets size of a football burn marks. Pillow case had a large stain about the size of someone's head. Went to store across interstate and bought our own pillows and sheets. Breakfast was to start at specific time and only cold cereal was there. Corporation needs to visit these places incognito. Hard to park with all the oversize contruction trucks. Should have made them park in back where there was more room. Staff lady who checked us in only bright spot friendly and knowledgeable.

“Excellent Value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2007

I stopped here after a very long day of driving and was glad to take the last room. The clerk was very nice and got me checked in quickly. I stayed in an upstairs room. It was clean and had a microwave, coffeepot and refrigerator! It was at least as nice as other places at twice the price. I was heading east off of 1-20 and took the 167 south exit and it was the first business on the right. My stay was short but a very positive experience. Check out in the morning was just as smooth. I would stay there again when passing through.

  • Liked — great price for clean room with fridge, microwave and coffeepot

“Not what it says on the web...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2004

We have a dog. I always look for hotels on the web that say pets allowed. It so happens on this trip our dog got hurt so we left her with family in Tyler on the way to Ruston from Austin. We got to the hotel and it said ABSOLUTELY no pets!!! What if we would have had our dog?? The web said pets allowed.

Delux continental breakfast was advertised. I look for that because I have a teenager who loves breakfast. We had a ball game to be at at 9:00 AM so it is nice to have a hot breakfast at the hotel before going to the game instead of going to a restaurant. We went into the lobby and there was juice, mini muffins, little cinammon rolls, hard boiled eggs and cream of wheat or grits. (not sure which one) Delux to us means at least toast, or waffles you can put in a toaster, more than muffins and juice! There wasn't even cereal and milk! There were no tables and chairs so we sat on the couch. The lady at the counter came over and told us we could not sit on the furniture to eat. My husband asked where we were supposed to eat. She said in the rooms, that's why they provide trays. No signs, no mention of that at check in... We had already cleared out our room and were ready to eat and leave for the game!! This was very frustrating!

Sept. 11 it was 90+ degrees and the pool was closed for the season!! Had water in it, looked beautiful but we could not swim. The web did not say "seasonal" when they listed pool.

I think it's important that people keep up with websites. If there are changes make sure they get made on websites. I will not go to a chain where I can't trust that what they say is really what I'm going to get. I will not go to another Best Western.
