Gonzalo

Disliked: Staff & service
Rooms were a decent size and clean, and the front desk staff was friendly. Parking was also convenient. But the breakfast was a complete disaster. For the price you pay per night, all they offer is bread, yogurt, and cereal — nothing else. To make matters worse, at 9:30 a.m. sharp the cleaning crew stormed in and started taking everything away while people were still sitting and eating. They had zero respect for guests. One of them even dumped a trash bag on the chair where I was sitting, while I had just stood up for more cereal. That’s not only rude — it’s disgusting and unacceptable in a hotel that carries the Best Western name. Because of this, I can’t rate higher than 3 stars
