“OK...but really dirty.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is my second stay in three weeks. I am writing the review from my room. The rooms are in need of a good cleaning. The mirrors in the bathrooms are dirty, there is sticky stuff all over the bedside table and on the clock. There is a layer of dust on everything. I had to wipe the dust off the hangers to hang my clothes. Even the little tray with the coffe pot is filthy. I'm wondering if they cleaned the room at all. Not many other choices here so I guess this is the best in town. The lobby is really pretty, I will give them that much. It is also really dark at night in the parking lot and does not feel very safe. I think I will stay in Joplin the next time I have to stay in Carthage on business.

I am disappointed we failed to give you the fine service and consideration we strive for with all our guests – the type of service we pride ourselves in. I have investigated your comments and have taken steps to ensure that the problems you experienced do not happen again. My staff has also been made aware of your comments and we have taken immediate corrective action.
We appreciate your patronage and hope you will stay with us at the Best Western Precious Moments Hotel the next time you are in Carthage. I can assure you we will do everything we can to make your stay a comfortable and happy one as we illustrate that what happened to you was an unfortunate exception to our normally high quality of service.
Sincerely,
Anthea Harbin

“Poor Communication - unhappy kids”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

people found this review helpful

The hotel was beautiful and very clean, but the service was terrible. We went down south for a wedding and booked our hotel room here,an hour away from the wedding and family, simply for the indoor heated pool for a fun kids/family night of swimming. I called 2 days prior to confirm check in times and pool hours. Then again at check in I confirmed pool hours. When we returned that afternoon after the wedding & went to the pool , we found the heater had been broken for over a week and it was a bucket of ice cubes. The staff , who was sitting outside barefoot on the patio, blew it off like it wasn't a big deal (as my kids are in tears at this point) and told me there was nothing they could do and even if we checked out we would still be charged. I called customer service the following week and they said a general manager would be calling me, but instead I got an apologie letter and not a call like I asked for. . I understand things happen, but when someone asks numerous times about the pool and you don't feel the need to mention it's not usable is just wrong. I was not asking for a refund , but a credit towards a future stay would have been nice since that was the whole point of booking the hotel. The Best Western chain didn't feel the need to take care of my family , therefore we will not be using them again in the future.

I am very disappointed in the break down of communication with our staff. The pool heater had just went out the week before your stay. We were fortunate enough to get the new heater installed before the pool temperature dropped below 79 degrees. I apologize that your family was not able to enjoy their swimming experience. I hope that gift card you were given helped ease the disappointment.

“Wonderful hotel”

Traveled by bus with other friends. Check in, painless. Walked in to a beautiful, gorgeous lobby and then on to a lovely room. Great mattresses and linens. Totally recommend this cute hotel . The food is about the same fare as most motels are offering, nothing special.

“Sweet Dreams”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

person found this review helpful

This motel has very easy access just off the main road. The rooms were clean and up to date. There was a huge staff that cleaned the rooms daily. The pool is indoors for year around use. The breakfast area was kept clean and filled with fresh food. It is close to many restaruants and convience stores. The staff were friendly and helpful about finding other things to look at while in town. Carthage has a very old down town area with very neat stone buildings. Of course it also has the regular fast food chains and huge retail outlets. What I liked was the shops down around the square, many of which took me back to a simpler time of the mom and pop stores of yesterday. There are also antique stores flower shops and hand made crafts. Keep your eyes open or you might miss something.

Room Tip: We liked the 2nd floor because we got to use the grand stair case, But elevators are avalable as wel...
