Would not recommend.
The hotel is VERY dated and in need of updating. Dirty carpets, broken screens, overall very scary. Located just off the highway and not close to any restaurants.

The mattress was horrible! Neither of us slept. The hotel had no extra pillows and the ones on the bed were very small squares and just not at all supportive! Bathroom is very old and the tub had rust on it! Not at all satisfied with this particular Best Western in Midland MI. We frequently use other best western properties so I’m really surprised this one has their name.

Parking area looked deserted, I thought they were closed. Check-in was ok, but when I came back with a problem (poor ac ) the night manager was rather hostile. The rooms looked very nice with the brick walls, but like the hallways , there seemed to be an odor of stale cigarette smoke. Perhaps, the odor was absobed by the bricks over time.

The pictures make this hotel look pretty good! Don't be fooled. My husband and I stayed recently and agreed if the management were different this place could be great. The staff seemed annoyed we were there. There was a food wrapper on the floor in our room. The tub wouldn't drain properly, and the carpet felt moist. The breakfast was limited because of low staff due to COVID, which is understandable. However, we felt like we were on a scavenger hunt to find everything. There was no rhyme or reason as to where food was placed and it was hard to find anything. We were so happy when we left that we didn't have to go back. Spend the extra money and stay closer to downtown Midland!
