"Convenient, Clean"

I travel between Baltimore and west Palm twice a year. First time at best western in Florence. The price was comparable to hotels I have stayed in. But this hotel had better amenities. Nice pool, great breakfast w hot food, nice and friendly staff. The place is clean. It is convenient to gas stations and several restaurants. Plus it is right off 95. That's a big plus when you are traveling 9 hours a day. Will definitely stay again.
