An excellent economical choice as everything else was fully booked over this Valentine/President’s long Weekend! We are impressed with meticulous cotton sheets and bedding! Super clean carpets, great water pressure, and friendly, attentive staff made for a very nice stay for our three day visit! I was concerned it might not be quiet enough being on a main road, but we found the sleep time hours quiet! The breakfast served decent biscuits, gravy, eggs (powdered) , waffles, a variety of cereal, granola, juices and a serve yourself vanilla yogurt that our grandson enjoyed tremendously! All in all a five star visit for us at this great price point!

I recently stayed here at the Best Western in Seneca. And I had a completely amazing experience. The room was spectacular and very clean. And the housekeeping and front desk staff were amazing. The prices were reasonable, especially with the best western rewards. I. Would like to thank Amanda and Jennifer at the front desk for being very courteous in making my stay wonderful as well as the housekeeping staff

We had to book the room last minute over the weekend and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating! The ladies we encountered during our stay were all so kind and hospitable. We felt incredibly welcome. The front desk staff and the cleaning staff were all very polite and kind. Our room was clean and even had an extra blanket and pillow in it.... Which is great because my husband likes it cold enough in the room for penguins to habituate! Special thanks to Lisa and Rhonda!

We had a clean quiet room on 3rd floor. Staff was great, worked with us to change our dates due to weather. Was centrally located for us to reach great riding roads on our motorcycles. Gas station/store and liquor store right next door. Copper River restaurant with a dine-in bar across the street for dinner. Basic complimentary breakfast at the hotel was good.
