Great location close to the Ambassador Bridge; a Keg restaurant around the corner. Beware of sports teams - a girls baseball/softball tournament must be happening close by. So running in the halls, throwing ice, screaming and yelling from these special 11 - 13 year olds up until midnight.

Excellent location and great views from the room. The bed was comforrable.The room could have used another chair. It would be better if parking was included and a discount on the breakfast. Also Best Western points should be given regardless how you book your stay.
