I had an overall pleasant stay at the Best Western Airport 85 Motel. The location is convenient, being close to the airport and a railway station, which made commuting easy. However, I did have a long wait during check-in, and there were some minor issues with my room like a slow shower and a toaster that didn't work properly (that was a bit frustrating). Overall, I would consider staying there again for its comfortable rooms and good amenities.

My stay at the Best Western Airport 85 Motel had its ups and downs. The location is super convenient, just a short distance from the airport and close to train access, which made travel a breeze. However, I had some noisy neighbors that made it hard to get a good night's sleep, and the cleanliness standards could definitely be improved. The breakfast was simple but fine for a quick start in the morning.

I had a pleasant stay at the Best Western Airport 85 Motel. The location was in a lovely neighborhood, close to restaurants and the racecourse. though the hotel had some downsides. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the noise from the railway line and thin walls detracted from the experience. Overall, it’s a decent option if you need a reliable place to stay, just not for a luxurious retreat.
