“Did not end up staying - wasn't impressed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

My initial impression of the Best Western was the night clerk, who begrudgingly got up from her TV viewing spot to help me.
My pre-check of the room revealed that it was clean, but the beds were very springy and did not seem like they would be comfortable overnight. The room was quite warm and a bit musty smelling.
We passed on this site, and went elsewhere.

“Looks like it is an old Howard Johnsons that underwent a cheep Rehab about 10 years ago.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

Not horrible, but in definite need of a refurb. Like stepping back into a time machine.

“Once Again!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

My wife and I recently visited friends and decided to take a hotel room overnight - we again selected the nearest Best Western - it was a good decision!
The room was clean, the bed and covers clean & comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, the shower free of any concerns, the water pressure high, the hot water plentifull - a great value!
The only issue was that ALL the vending machines in the hotel were disfunctional.
But even that was addressed by the front desk clerk who found some snacks for us to buy through a local fund raiser.
Will go back again!

“Don't waste your money...NASTY HOTEL!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

After driving for two hours on our way back to the Midwest from NJ in the pouring rain we finally found this Best Western in Cambridge, Ohio that had a few rooms. We booked it over the phone as we were driving. Upon pulling into the parking lot, I didn't have good vibes about this place.

My husband went inside to check us in while I, our two kids and my brother waited in the car. He was waiting well over 30 minutes to check in as the guy at the front desk was gabbing away with some bikers and talking nonsense instead of doing his job. Not to mention he was rather rude.

Finally after getting checked in and proceeding to where the room was located we walked into the room and I almost puked. The stench of dust and filth filled the room. I know you get what you pay for, but dang..for $90 and 2 stars we expected a little bit better than what we got. Believe me, if it hadn't been midnight, pouring rain and we hadn't already been driving for 9 hours we would of went elsewhere!

After stepping into the room and closing the door, I could see a inch gap all the way around the door which is how I'm sure the bug/spiders come in. The carpet was so nasty it turned my socks dark black after only walking across the room once.

I went into the bathroom and after turning on the light and as I sat down to pee I saw a huge spider running across the floor. I killed the spider and not even 5 minutes later was a jumping cricket of some kind in the bathroom.

Next, I went to the bed and sat on it. Springs could instantly be felt through the mattress. I pulled the comforter back and saw a dark, long black hair across my pillow. I told my husband and he picked it up with a Kleenex. I then grabbed a hand towel to lay across the pillow before laying on it. We all slept with pants, shirts and socks on. No way were we laying in those nasty beds. Who knows how long it's been since the linens were changed.

We usually stay in 4 star hotels and we love Hampton Inn's but unfortunately they were booked everywhere in our driving radius. Like I said, I didn't expect this place to be a Hampton Inn or Hilton, but I did expect better quality for $90. I will NEVER AGAIN stay at a Best Western. That place needs to be shut down by the health officials.

This place was by far the worst place I've ever stayed in my life. We will never make this mistake again! We didn't get a wink of sleep. I only wish I would of saw reviews about this place before we even made a reservation on the road.

people found this review helpful

I arrived in the early afternoon and was greated by a great young lady..the place is old and looks a little tired but was very well kept and clean..large parking lot for semis in the rear of bldg..rooms are small and basic but bed was very comfy ..bathroom was spotless..and A/C was very cold..the girl at the desk was very freindly and helpful and called room to make sure everything was ok...dont let the looks fool you this is a very clean and affordably priced place..around $67.00.....I have stayed at other motels nearby that were newer and fancier but if you want a clean basic room,good value price operated by good people this is the one you want...

Room Tip: upstairs room on rear of building ,very quiet, great for a daytime sleeper like myself
