Old and run down property. Number 1 the beds were horrible they were like sleeping in a hammock with no support. You laid down and you sunk to the middle of the bed. I will say the pool are and the breakfast was very good. But if your looking for a good nights rest or multiple night stay I would... More

I stay here aprox 30 nights a year. The entire staff is great and always helpful. The food is always good at the restaurant and the free breakfast is just always perfect. I can't say enough good things about this Best Western. Highly recommend it to anyone while in the area.

I felt that our stay here was very average. Nothing really bad, but nothing really stood out as above par to us either. We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The front desk clerk was efficient at checking us in. Our room was on the small side, and did not have a refrigerator or microwave. However, everything was very... More

We were pleasantly surprised at the free schuttle service to the Surf Ballroom. Room was clean and loved the King Suite, We enjoyed the Hot tub by the pool and the hot breakfast. We also did take out from the resturant and the volume and quality of food was very good. We hope to go back for another concert and... More

Stayed there on business trip and everything was up to par. Asked for an upper floor and it was completely quiet. Room decor is nice with a flat panel television. Bed was comfortable, requested upgrade but front desk said he wasn't able to upgrade to a king. Room was very clean with good quality towels and got a great rate... More

Site is right off of I-35 so it is super easy to get to. I held a two-day meeting here and it went much better this time. They have had severe roof issues that hopefully have been solved. A simple case of hiring too cheap of roofing contractor - though most property owners don't see things that way. I understand... More

Stayed in back area where the truck drivers stayed. It was a smoking room and the room had a smoke smell even in the bed. Sprayed the room with Lysol. The lighting in the room was dark. The bulbs needed more watts. Good selection of breakfast items with real china. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean.

This was my second stay and it was just as wonderful as the first. The BW Holiday Lodge has become my official stop-over on a cross country trip. Friendly service, beautiful room that are impeccably clean and to top it off, fast and tasty room service from Bennigan's next door. A fine place worth the extra price.
