The little hotel that couldn’t our first room, the heater would not work, so they moved us to a different room, and when I went to flush the toilet, the flusher handle fell off we could hear the TV and the conversation in the next room, most of the night the room was clean And the lady at the front desk was very friendly

Let's just say that the global Microsoft outage on Friday July 19th stranded me in Houston until Sunday July 21st. I used the Expedia app to get the number to the hotel and called saying I was stranded and would be late and most likely Saturday. I checked Expedia's app and they stated that I could not cancel booking and would not be refunded. I contacted Expedia through the app and explained my situation. It took multiple hours and at least one of my reservations was cancelled with refund(thank you Alamo Rental cars) When we started to work on the hotel, the Expedia rep explained that the hotel had no management on site and to check back on Monday or 72 hours from our time on the app(Saturday afternoon after my 4th flight was cancelled) I was disconnected and could not get back through to Expedia. United never sent me any information on a flight to San Diego and I eventually booked a flight back to my home. This place refuses to refund me even the situation was completely out of my control. Expedia will not help at all and United told Expedia the rescheduled me with Delta airlines. I never received a phone call or reschedule through the United App or Expedia. Still have not received anything. Needless to say this place will never receive my business again and I would never stay at a Best Western. Unbelievable how the take advantage of a traveler stuck because of wonderfull Microsoft, United and a complete shutdown of air travel. Horrible policy and Expedia is a complete waste

Good location, a nice clean place that is far enough from San Diego to be affordable, but not too far away. One major misgiving: avoids rooms 103, 105 ,107 and the rooms directly above those due to a nloisy ice machine. It makes constant noise day and night, and worse whe nfolks get ice (who needs ice a 4am?).

Very nice staff at check in and in the evening when we needed more coffee packs. The building is a older but rooms were clean and sp was the property. The only drawback is it can be noisy at certain times during the day.
