Not great, but ok

Property was ok, huge potholes in parking lot and the overall appearance of property could have been better. Rooms were nothing special- but functional.

This was an interesting stay for a family of 4, with two kids under 10. The property could use a significant refresh. The rooms were quiet but musty. Several outlets werent working, and the bathroom lights had some sort of eco bulbs in them that flashed every time they turned on. Suite

In the afternoon of the 2nd day of our stay, we came back from a competition and found out there is no hot water in our room. I called the front desk and was told the boiler just broke and there might not be hot water until the next day or even two days later. I asked how I could take a shower. They told me they didn't know. I asked if the showers by the pool worked and they again they told me they didn't know but didn't offer to find out. They did not offer my any solutions. So I went downstairs to check the shower by the pool and it had not hot water either. So I went to the front desk to ask if other rooms had hot water. They said they didn't know and would not find out. I asked why. They said because if they let me use another room with hot water, it would be considered dirty and they would not allow that. So I asked what the solution would be. The staff member again said they didn't know. One of them said it was beyond his "jurisdiction" to give me a discount. I said I had not got that far yet. I just needed to take a shower. "I am your guest. Is it too much to ask for a shower?" I found the staff member more interested in talking back to me than finding a solution, which is disappointing. Eventually I called a teammate who told me their room had hot water. So there were rooms with hot water and this was not an unsolvable problem. This really made me feel this hotel's staff failed at solving guest problems intentionally. Hence I would give 0 star if I could.

The hotel & room were fine but it took quite a long time for the room’s ac to cool the room down. I overheard another couple complaining about the AC as well. The breakfast was just ok. The other Best Western in Berlin had a better breakfast based on prior experiences at the Berlin BW (waffle option, better eggs, better sausage & better bacon). Overall a positive experience & a good value. The cost of the Berlin BW room was slightly more which was the reason I chose the Hartford BW.
