The room was amazing for the price! Staff were friendly and efficient. Hallway lights are a little bright at night other than that it was a perfect 2 day stay, will definitely be coming back!

Best Western Park Crest Inn
The staff experience created unnecessary challenges during my check in and overall experience. Given the pricing, the level of service and overall experience did not meet expectations or justify the cost. As a result, I would not consider returning.
