Not nearly as nice as most of the Best Western Plus's we have stayed in. Pillows were only half size, only one garbage in the whole suite, toilet was in the middle of the bathroom floor and you could hardly open and close the door because of that. Pool area was over crowded, so we weren't able to use the pool or hot tub.

This motel was updated in the past year. The lobby looks fantastic. It has comfortable seating, a fireplace, and a lounge. The rooms was large very comfortable too.

The only areas of improvement would be the poor lightening above the vanity and having only one elevator, which was located at the other end of the building. So, we had to lug our bags up the stairs in order to park close to the room. Also, the lobby and hallways appeared to not have central A/C,

The Magnuson is actually part of the same motel. They branched off because Best Western is apparently no longer allowing motor lodge type buildings to affiliate with them. As the desk clerk told me, the rooms in those buildings are older, not up-to-date, and are more on an economy level.

This was the only motel under $100 in Birch Run and Frankenmuth during July 4th weekend that would be in or above the “enhanced budget” tier. It was a really good value, and I would stay again.

I paid extra for a suite. we walked into a damp smelling room on the main level and the floor felt like they had thrown carpet over plywood. we didn't use the hot tub because I wasn't sold on the upkeep of the place and I wasn't risking getting into a jet tin that hadn'tbeen cleaned properly. the concept of the room was good, but the "what I got" didn't equal what I paid.

I called the Best Western Hotel directly to book a room with BEST WESTERN. When I checked in I was told my room was in the back building. I became suspicious when I saw a sign for another hotel with exterior corridors. This room is terrible (225) I tried both mattresses , they both contained big depressions. The room smells because people are smoking outside on the exterior corridor which is one reason why I never book such a room. The other is safety. I called the front desk to complain about the room. The lady at the front desk informed me that the owner owns both hotels but Best Western would not allow her to brand the back hotel as BW because of the work that had to be done. "We share the same front desk." If you are running two hotels you should have different phone numbers and answer them accordingly. When I called, the person answered "BW". I was led to believe I was booking BW room. The other odd thing is that they are using BW keys and some branding in this room. If I could leave now I would but am stuck until 8:15 am due to hours of service, can't move until then . In all of my reviews I have only given one other 1 star. This gets my second 1 star review because of the deceptive "bait and switch" and the lousy conditions of both mattresses. Geez people come to hotels to get a nights rest. The least one can do is to provide a decent mattress.

We will never stay here again. We went in at 4pm when you can check in and she told us our room wouldn’t be ready for at least another hour so we were nice about it and told her we would go shopping while waiting for the room to be ready even though it should have already been ready. Then when we finally got into the room it was disgusting. There was candy behind the table and crumbs. We had also come for a romantic weekend and the bath tub had old flower petals in it. There was no toilet paper or tissues in the bathroom so I called down to get some and they said I would have to go down and get it because nobody would bring it to me. In the middle of the night there was an animal scratching on the outside of the shower and kept us up all night. It was awful. So much for romantic weekend. Next year we will stay somewhere else.

It was good to see the folks at the Best Western at Birch Run (home of a large outlet mall) were able to keep the lights on during our year from hell stay away from everybody. They still don't have their Awesome Breakfast buffet back, but I figure with Summer just getting started, & things Just Starting to pick up, they will. We're just glad they survived! it is a comfortable place, sit on your balcony & enjoy the breeze, & the shade of the mature trees & lawn & listening to the birds. It doesn't get any better!

Please I ignored the few bad reviews DONT do it worst mistake I have made if you’re okay sleeping with bed bugs, having a hostile staff who won’t help with any problems, sleeping in filth then this is your hotel. On top of that whoever cleans the pool does not know how to maintain water it was so cloudy and the spa smelled horrible. The only good thing about this place was the restaurant. The hotel pictures lie about everything seriously pay the extra 50$ at any other hotel and save yourself the worry. The worst part was I had proof of the bed bugs and the staff wouldn’t even change my room or offer me a discount or a refund. Please listen to this review so you don’t make the same mistake I did.

There were bugs coming out of the AC and the windowsill.

I told the front desk since I noticed around 10pm and the woman there was EXTREMELY rude and condescending. She threw a fit when I asked it to be cleaned saying there were no cleaning crew at the time and she would have to do it herself.

I asked for a different room and I got the one next to it. It had it also. I asked for another, It also had them too. I was bewildered. When I told the front desk she said that was all the kings she had. No upgrade to anything that might not have bugs, she just didn’t care. I asked her if there was any room that didn’t have bugs and she said AND I QUOTE “ I can’t walk thru your whole and guarantee there won’t be any bugs” WHAT?!?! She didn’t even care enough to come see them let alone anything.

i did not plan to stay the night that night but every other place in town was closed for the night. I didn’t know what kind of bugs so I was scared all night.

Breakfast was cold and the staff was standing over us telling us how to take everything. It was unpleasant. OJ was good.

back to my room I was changing so I could leave this terrible hotel room. A cleaning crew knocked on my door and invited themself in while I was changing and there was a DND sign on the door. There’s a reason for that!! I told them to come back later. I heard a scoff and then they stomped away.

I went to the front desk to leave as I got all my things out of the room, and the same desk lady from the night before was there. I told her I wanted out and she told me, “you refused the cleaning crew”. Making it my fault there was bugs?!?!

The general manager was professional but also had an attitude. He needs to be more serious about his hotel and he should be more concerned why his employee didn’t come and clean the rooms that had bugs in them.

I got a refund for only one night that I didn’t stay and my security deposit and we left.

I mean this. If you’re a kid or an adult reading this, DO NOT come to this hotel. This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been to and no matter what the other reviews say this is seriously a disgusting hotel with terrible condescending rude staff, except the general manager who only had an attitude. Don’t give this business any more money or anything.

I mean it. I’m not over exaggerating.

Our room was wonderful. This is why I'm giving this 4 stars and not 2. It was very clean and comfortable and the bed was one of the best hotel beds I have ever slept in. The bathroom was lit well and very clean. I felt safe and comfortable.

However, the rest of the hotel needed some work. There were many broken/missing fixtures and bad lighting and a missing smoke detector. Also, the woman at the front desk was not wearing a mask despite the many signs saying guests were required to wear masks and employees would all be wearing personal protective equipment.

Nope, it was just an odd thing not to offer travel packs of pain medicine. It was a dirty hotel. There were some bugs in the room. This hotel offers a bar which was a joke. The breakfast that was included was gross. I could go on. You could get a hotel in Hawaii for the amount that this hotel was charging. They had very few amenities, including hot water in the rooms. By the way, you don't have to be sarcastic. I gave my review and it was my opinion. The person at the desk was very rude. Even a bed a breakfast has an Advil or two hanging around. It was an Advil. You know the ones you get at the airports. The little packets that everyone except this Best Western sells!!!
