We liked that it was convenient to the multiplex for soccer. We didn’t like the beat up furniture in our room, we didn’t like that we had to go to the front desk for hot tub towel and all other toiletries, we didn’t like that the dining room carpet was filthy and we didn’t like that they made us pay approximately $100.00 more for that weekend because of the Mini World Cup. It’s all young families and grandparents that really can’t afford the higher price. Shame on you.

Dear Catherine,Let me start by thanking you for completing our Guest Survey regarding your recent stay at our property.I am deeply concerned that your recent experience at the Best Western Plus Barclay Hotel was well below your expectations. Please accept my sincere apology, guest satisfaction is the goal at the Best Western Plus Barclay Hotel and we take great pride to bring the level of this hotel above our competitors.Please know that we are taking your feedback to heart and focusing on improving. We try at every opportunity to make our guest’s stay as comfortable as possible with no issues to cause any undue stress. We are always looking for ways to improve. I am unsure why you had to go to the front desk for your towels when they are offered in our hot tub area. Our bathroom amenities are offered in the large environmental bottles attached to the bathroom walls, so I am unsure what you had to go to the front desk for but I apologize if they were not offered in the room. I am sorry you disapproved of our rates however you did accept them when making your booking. It is always our desire to have our guests let us know if there are problems during their stay so It is also our Front Desk Agents mission to ask, “How was your stay”. I am sorry I did not get this opportunity to address your concerns before you left.Again, I apologize for not meeting your expectations during your stay.Sincerely,Annette ClementGeneral ManagerBest Western Plus Barclay Hotel

Staff were nice beds and pillows were nice. We booked this hotel because it had a pool. We were not informed the pool was not operating until we were at the hotel snd checking in. Needless to saw the kids were very disappointed. Hot tub is large size though.

Dear Krista,Let me start by thanking you for completing our Guest Survey regarding your recent stay at our property. When I see a survey with scores of less than 80 percent I consider it an opportunity for improvement. Yes, we strive for perfect fives. I am always very interested in opportunities on how to improve our guests’ experience while staying with us. Is there something that we can do differently to change your perception of our property. Your feedback is very much appreciated, and I can assure you that my staff and I will use this information to do everything possible to create an enjoyable experience for each of our guests.

We will always have that commitment to our valued guests to continually improve our product and the service that goes along with it. I am glad you found our staff and pillows nice. Our pool is advertised as seasonal and opens every year on the May long weekend and stays open until Thanksgiving weekend. With all this great weather it is hard not to want to go in. I apologize for not having it open sooner but we must wait for it to be inspected every year before opening. Our inspection is set of May 9th this year. Again, thanks for taking the time and your business. Sincerely, Annette ClementGeneral ManagerBest Western Plus Barclay Hotel

Overall good hotel and very quiet; good restaurant downstairs; hotel is in convenient location. Only thing that could have been better is the beds are very high and my 83 year old mother found beds/mattresses too high and too hard.

We enjoyed our stay aside from the fact that our room smelled like cigarette smoke the entire time we were there. For a room that claims it was a non smoking room it most definitely did not smell like that. Had there been an option to move I would’ve taken it but the hotel was full. Other than that everything was clean and was great!

Room was clean, but on the small side. There was a party with live music in one of the conference rooms at night, and we were right above it so that was loud and we weren't warned beforehand. Slept with ear plugs. Staff was friendly, breakfast was pretty good in the morning at the cafe.

We stayed for a weekend dance performance. Despite being on a floor with a lot of other kids on our dance team the room was incredibly quiet. We had a suite and it was quite spacious. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. And the price was a steal for what we got! Would definitely stay again and suggest to others!

this centrally located hotel was clean, staff were helpful and friendly. There were lots of amenities nearby- restaurants, the museum either a walk or short drive. However Walmart was on the other side of town.

Very good staff, friendly and helpful. Pauline, our server at breakfast, was excellent. The food was good. My only criticism was that there was no in-room safe. I found this surprising in a Best Western Plus hotel. Using a safe deposit box at the hotel reception is something I associate with older hotels of less quality.
