Verified Reviews of Best Western Plus Suites Downtown

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Nice room and location, great staff."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We had a good experience from parking and check in to checkout. Our room was clean, bright and serviced every day. The front staff were responsive and helpful. The breakfast was not bad and open 6am to 10am every day. Good restaurants were close by and shopping for groceries also a few minutes walk away. Good value for a decent hotel.
