What guests think

At Best Western Heartland Inn, many guests praise friendly staff, clean rooms, and a satisfying hot breakfast, while others report ongoing renovations, a closed pool, and various maintenance issues such as false alarms, elevator problems, and spotty Wi-Fi or TV.

Many found beds comfortable and rooms quiet, but temperature control, hot water, and odors are inconsistent across rooms. Cleanliness is often praised, yet several reviews cite dirty bathrooms or pests. Good choice for a quick stop if you can accept ongoing work and occasional maintenance hiccups.

The desk clerk was friendly. The beds were comfortable. The rooms were clean. The room temperature was easy to change. The smoke alarm, though, blinks above the bed. We did not sleep well because of this. Also, the elevator did not work properly. The button to the second floor doesn’t easily register 2. Eventually we were able to get to the second floor. The pool was not working. We chose the hotel because pool was in the description.

We had a night here before solar eclipse and the place was packed. Staff kept everything running smoothly (especially Celeste, Megan and Rose) who welcomed everyone. Had a few glitches with the internet (probably too many users) but the rehabbed property was good, beds were new and wonderful. Pool is under construction. Property looks a little plain from the outside, but the inside is good and fresh.

The hotel was very clean. Comfortable beds. The breakfast was good. But our toilet was leaking on the floor every time we flushed. And we had no hot water. We had to take cold showers. When we checked out the receptionist said they did not have enough hot water capacity for a full hotel.

Room was nice clean and comfortable. But there was a ton of construction going on. Especially during the day. So the couple afternoons I went back to my room early (3-4pm) there was a lot of construction noise and new paint smell that lingered. So hopefully they’ll be done soon and it will be nicer

I didn’t like checking in and then finding out the entire hotel is basically under construction due to a water pipe burst, and my room and third floor smell like a paint warehouse and lamps from rooms in the hallways. When I booked my room there was no explanation that this hotel is under construction. I would never of booked here if I knew this. And probably will never stay at a Best Western again.

First, the location was hard to find. Secondly, my room was ok however very limited choices in TV channels. A fire alarm went off at 10 p.m. Apparently it was due to the steam coming from the shower that I just took. The elevator was broken. When I pressed the 2nd floor button it took me to the 3rd floor 3 times. Then I walked down a flight of steps to my room. Very inconvenience. Breakfast had limited options. Also, the rooms aren't quiet from other rooms. When I explained all my issues with the front desk in the morning, I was offered a free bottle of water. I would have expected more compensation than that since I paid over $120 for basically 14 hrs.

This property is immaculate and they'll do your room daily, unlike many hotels we've stayed at. They also have a hot breakfast and free coffee, cappuccino, hot cocoa, etc. all day. The staff is warm and friendly, but ask how to use the shower before you go to your room. On the negative side, their internet is slow and the TV is minimal.

The Hotel looked nice from the outside. Inside was the problem. The beds were not comfortable. There was not a bottom sheet on the bed. We had the option to change rooms. I decided to stay in the room. After traveling changing rooms was not in our plans. We got sheets from an employee and put it on the bed ourselves. I hadn't noticed the bathroom problems until the next morning. The bathroom ceiling had water stains. Mold on the walls. There was a storm at night. When I went to the bathroom the next morning there was water on the floor.

The property has been remodeled but the door to our room stuck and had to be pushed open and pulled closed. In the middle of the ceiling of our room was a fire alarm that had a strobe light. The strobe flashed about every 20-30 seconds and was very disruptive to sleep. If this isn’t corrected I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

I think I may have gotten catfished by the overall rating. The original and replacement rooms both smelled like sweat and musty body odor, and the shower didn’t work. I will say the staff were friendly and inviting though.

Room temperature. Thermostat in both rooms booked do not work. Set to 67 degrees made it feel like 90. Neither my aunt nor I slept more than an hour at a time with the constant need to get up and turn the heaters on (if it got cold while being off too long) or off (if left on too long making the rooms stifling hot) never again.

I would rather share what was wrong. 1. charged for my esa dog, wouldnt even look at my paperwork. was told at checkin it would be $40 a $50 deposit for incidentals put on my card and that i would get my $50 back at check out at check out i was charged $40 per night. giving me a refund of $10. get down the road only to see i was in fact charged $90 at check in and another $83 at checkout supposedly the $97 will go back on my card. we will see. 2. on day 2 i go back to the room only for the ac to not work. i attempted to call the desk multiple times to no avail. the desk clerk was outside talking every time i would look out the window. i attempted to contact the property multiple times before arriving to check on pet policy regarding registered service animals, i never received no response. had i known it was going to cost me as much as it did i would have brought her crate and made other arrangements. then being told it was one price upon check in to find out it was a completely different price at check out is unacceptable.

Facility was clean the breakfast bar nice. The AC in Rm 200 did not get cool enough. The address to the hotel on Broadway St takes you to an empty lot- not fun late at night. The $50 deposit process should have been automatically applied when I presigned for the rm, especially since the presign process was supposed to speed up check-in process. Front desk staff did not speak clearly and did not smile once at check-in or in the morning at checkout, although he did say Good morning which I appreciated.

Great location and amenities, but not without issues. I know this is a pet friendly property, but our room should not smell like a wet dog. The towels are way too rough, and need to be replaced. One of the trolleys was falling apart. The pool has been out of order for months, that's unacceptable.
