Rooms could be improved
The opinions of the guest accommodation at the Best Western Spanish Quarters Inn is a little mixed. Some guests were more than happy, but many others felt that the rooms needed some attention. Reported issues include dirty carpets, old bed linens, and noisy air-conditioning units.
negative:
On-site parking can be problematic
Several guests mention that the car park at this hotel is so tight that it took some serious driving skills to get in and out. Adding insult to injury is that, unlike many Best Western properties, you have to pay for the privilege of parking here.
negative:
A few issues at check-in
Although guests specifically comment that the staff are very helpful, it appears that the check-in process could be much improved. A number of guests arrived to find that their room wasn't ready while others comment that the check-in procedure can be frustratingly slow.
