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.
