There was nothing wrong with the hotel or the room. Nothing spectacular either. The property looked run down on first arrival but the room was very clean and the staff worked hard making sure the entire property was clean. I enjoyed the stay in this beautiful town.

The first night was great, no problems. The second night we had a noisy neighbor that I think was made worse because of the adjoining door between the rooms. There’s also construction on the building next door that was loud in the morning. I liked everything else about the hotel. The location was great. We were able to walk around downtown to breweries and restaurants.

Not so happy.

I reserved 3 rooms for 3 nights two weeks in advance. Hotel doesn't bother looking at any special requests like Adjoining rooms, which we did request. We couldn't have been scattered further apart and still be in the same hotel. One of the rooms, which happened to be the best room of the 3, had the sheetrock falling from the ceiling in the bathroom. The girl at the front desk was argumentative about giving us another room. Thought that maintenance was going to just clean it up with a handful of rags. We did see maintenance going in there the following day with ladders and sheetrock mud. The hotel in general is just plagued with examples of poor maintenance, sloppy patch jobs. Very disappointing for a Best Western

The hotel was in a very good location to walk to most restaurants and the train to Silverton. The room was large and the bed comfortable. One thing I thought was strange is the hotel is built around an indoor swimming pool, which during my stay was FILLED with screaming children jumping and splashing. This is not a place you want to visit if you're hoping to have a romantic stay. Another thing they "forgot" to tell me was that if you want housekeeping services, you have to ask. Such a disappointment to come back from the Silverton train in the evening and find your room was not refreshed. I only gave 3 stars because this is what to expect here.

We had an excellent stay minus two things. One, the staff at the hotel were very friendly and professional, but there is an obvious lack of training or communication between the staff and management. My clothes got locked in a washing machine at 10 pm. I reported it to the front desk who informed me that a maintenance person would arrive to help. 15 minutes later, no help. I went back down stairs and was informed that the front desk was told that he assisted me. I was waiting for him by the washing machine.... He then called him again. I waited 30 minutes and even tried adding more money in the washer. I went back down stairs, and was told that the guy said, once again, that he assisted me. I went back up stairs to find that the washing machine finally unlocked, but there as soap all over my clothes. I went back down stairs for a refund of my $3.50. This is where things went south. I was informed that they could not give me the money back. Keep in mind, I was only asking for the extra money that I put in to release my clothes and dry them, not the original money. By this time it was 11 something pm. A staff member then insisted on giving me her own money so that I could finish my load. By the time I finished, it was 1am. So much for a good night sleep before travel. The next morning the hotel gave me $4 and said that they helped the staff member who gave me her own money the night before.

Stayed primarily for the close proximity to the Silverton train depot which was nice, just a short walk away. Check in was very slow, lobby full of people and only one person to check everyone in, the gentleman checking guests in was doing everything he could to try to get guests checked in as fast as he could but after a long travel day you don’t want to wait an additional 35-45 minutes to get checked in. Room was on the 3rd floor which made it very warm and the AC unit was super loud and would cycle on and off about every 10 minutes at night making a restful night pretty much impossible. All employees that I spoke to were friendly and nice, One other note is there is a large construction project next door and at times the construction noise was very loud
