V. good

Gross Liked: Old. No encasement of the matress so I slept on top of the bedspread in my own blanket. Lacking decent hot water. A/C was a dirty window unit. Sink was on the opposite side of the room from the bathroom. Floor was soft in places. Holes in the wall behind the beds which I found while looking for a decent plug which I could not find. Stank of mold. Run down fleabag motel with feel cats hanging around and yet they want to charge $20 per pet per night. My well trained show dogs are the least of their problems. One front desk person was very nice (a man) but a woman was rude and lied to me. Turns out none of my friends had to pay a pet fee for their dogs at the Best Western.
