Verified Reviews of Best Western Plus Bessemer Hotel & Suites

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Great staff, good rest, very clean."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The moment I opened the door the staff showed the love! I enjoyed talking with her and she was very helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. I did however leave my shampoo at the house and the little bottle y'all supplied me wasn't nearly enough to get my mop clean. Other then that I love the stay.
