It was pretty nice, there was a strange smell in the hallway, but the room seemed clean, even though they missed an empty bottle of wine that the previous tenant left in the minifridge. Beds were firm and well made. Bathroom was properly stocked. There is currently no pool because of covid19. I didn't find out til we checked in. Over all it was decent and affordable.

I have read a lot of reviews here about recent stays, and I have to say, we didn't have ANY of those issues. We reserved a room for the weekend of April 20th, 2024. We were working at a car show next door to the hotel and wanted to stay over to spend time with a friend's family who lived in the area. So here is my detailed review: Room Type: We requested a Disability Room with 2 queen beds. It was cheaper than the regular rooms which I appreciate since I am disabled. Bathroom: This is really where disability makes a difference. They had a clean walk-in shower that didn't have a slippery floor, a folding bench on the wall in the shower, grab bars, and a removable shower head with a long hose which is everything I need. Well stocked with soaps, conditioners, and towels for 2 people. Beds: Clean and comfortable. We got 2 Queens. They were NOT HARD AS ROCKS like other hotels. Amenities: - A/C wasn't cranked all the way down like we usually find at hotels, and it was nice not to walk into an ice house. We set the A/C where we wanted it and it worked perfectly. - Big TV - Table and chair was nice. - Desk had everything I needed to do my laptop work on. - Wifi was strong for being in the middle of nowhere. No Issues. - Long table with TV was clean and nice. Long bench next to it was clean and well taken care of. Pool: Our 2 friends and their 4 children came over for a swim and we all had a great time. The bathroom wasn't working outside so we had to cart kids into the Hallway bathroom, but it wasn't horrible. Pool and deck were clean, all seats were well arranged and also clean, and the bar area was a great place to sit and talk. Staff: EVERYONE was super nice and happy to see us and very helpful. All fees were correct at the end of our stay. Prices: It was higher than I am used to but not horrible. It was worth every penny for us since we were working next door. Not an unexpected price for the area. Breakfast: WOW - We've had a lot of hotel breakfasts, and this one was really good. Sausage, Eggs, Bacon, Waffles with the BW Logo in the middle of it... and it tasted good! There was a lot more food than that, but that's what I levitate to. Super nice lady working the kitchen, and everything was very clean. I simply didn't see ANYTHING these other bad reviews saw. I WILL BE BACK since we have friends who live in that area.

The Best Western hotel is conveniently located just off the main road, making it easy to find. The rooms were clean, parking was hassle-free, and the price was reasonable. I requested a first-floor room, and the staff accommodated without any issues. The service was friendly, the air conditioning was ice-cold, and the room was spotless. For a basic stay in Wauchula County, what more could you ask for?

I would definitely stay here again. The hotel is very clean. The rooms are very up to date. Lots of electrical outlets to plug all your gadgets in. The free breakfast ofers a wide variety of things. The bagels are even good, which doesn't happen often at a hotel. But the best thing about the hotel is the staff. I work nights and it's hard to have room service. Liz the receptionist personally cleaned my room one night while I was working. Never in my many travels has anyone done that for me. So awesome to have people who care.

The shower in the room was very nice. Overall, the hotel was nicer than it was on my last visit. Only negative was the pool was dark algae green and closed. Only a problem if you want to swim.

I found the Best Western Heritage Inn and Suites to be clean and well-appointed for a short stay/standard accommodations. The property looks relatively new and well-kept. The parking area and the grounds were maintained. There were only a few guest, so that kept my stay relatively quiet. I asked for a room at the end of the floor, to avoid the usual "inconsiderates" that are in no short supply in today's world. I also wanted to avoid any elevator noise. My room was extremely cold upon entering. The AC definitely worked, but the TV did not work. I called the front desk. No answer. Only a message to try again later. I hadn't had an opportunity to review the free breakfast that this hotel offers. Most likely it's the usual fare. All-in-all a hotel of this caliber will suffice for a short 1-2 night's stay. Bowling Green's population is small, with attractions being few to limited.

The rooms were perfectly fine, and the kids enjoyed the pool. There were some rather sketchy guests there, however, and it made my kids very uncomfortable! A woman opened her door in only underwear, and just....stood in the doorway for several minutes looking super disoriented/messed up, and throughout the night rough looking men were coming in and out of the room.

The entrance was clean and bright with the check-in process being quick. The staff was friendly. NOTE: check-in is 3pm. They will NOT check you in even 10 minutes early. The room was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was in good functioning order and also clean. The price was good at $107 total. I would definitely stay again.

As expected for the type of hotel it was. Room was spacious and clean. Kids had fun jumping in the chilly pool in January. Things looked nice even though a few things were broken: hair dryer in the room, computer printer in the lobby band treadmill in the fitness room. Overall it was a great deal for the value.
