Verified Reviews of Best Western Historic Area Inn

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Front dest couldn't or didn't want to find Mt reservation until I pulled out a copy."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
After a hour being there a fight break out and the same clerk doesn't take cake of the issue, the trouble maker comes back after being taken off hotel grounds. He come back about four 0r five am and set off fire alarms and open fire extenuaters in the A/C units. Everyone was evaluated and had to sleep in there cars for about two to three hours. I am notbhappy one bit about this whole stay with your hotel. A great deal of this could have been taken care of if the clerk would have put out or had him arrested when this whole thing started.
