Verified Reviews of Best Western River City Hotel

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Guest"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The "average" review was based solely on the fact that the facility is undergoing an update renovation and that minor debris and paint stains were found on the hallway carpet. The guest rooms that had completed the updates were VERY nice and I would highly recommend RWRCH for a very pleasant overall experience.
