If you need to stay in Starke, FL, the Best Western is probably your best option for a hotel. It's…read morea bit run down but I was working, so my goal was to sleep overnight, get my work done, and leave. The room was okay. Not great, not bad. Standard. The bed was a bit hard for me and hurt my back. It was clean. It did have a full length mirror which was nice. The wifi was fine and I didn't have any issues. The heating and cooling is one of the old units near the window. It cooled the room. I'm not sure how it would be in the severe heat of the summer, but it worked for spring weather. I really dislike these type of old units because they are incredibly loud! There is a decent size refrigerator in the room (larger than I've seen many places) and a small, regular coffee maker. The COFFEE MAKER is LOCATED in the BATHROOM which I found really odd and it wasn't appealing to me. I'd consider this unsanitary. I didn't use it. It's more of a motel with all the doors outside. If you don't request to be on the bottom floor, you walk up stairs with your luggage. Maybe there were elevators somewhere I didn't see. If you have a lot of luggage, disabilities, or don't want to walk up and down outside stairs to get to your room, you should request the bottom floor. It was slow when I was there, so it wasn't a problem getting a room on the bottom floor. I didn't have time to eat their breakfast, so I can't comment on it other than to say I saw the breakfast area. It was a small seating area in the lobby. For some reason they wouldn't honor the GSA rate for the area. They insisted on charging a bit more which I'll need to pay out of my pocket since my business travel must fall under those approvals. I'd have stayed somewhere else for that reason, but there's hardly any options in Starke, FL. Maybe that's why they can charge the higher rate and people pay the extra. If you need a decent place to stay and you have to stay in Starke (pass if you can), then the Best Western is a decent place.

Coffee , tea and hot chocolate were available 24/7. Really enjoyed our stay and hanging out in the lobby with family.

No smoke detector but burn holes in the bed cover. And how does a hotel leave a 1/4 roll of toilet paper when a guest arrive?

My son and I were unable to shower during our stay as the towels appeared used, and we ended up sleeping fully dressed. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, and the Wi-Fi was non-operational. We spent the entire night without sleep, and while our stay was just for one night, it was an incredibly unpleasant experience. I would not recommend this establishment--please RECONSIDER before booking. I am shocked that this property is associated with the Sonesta brand. It seems clear that Sonesta is not fully aware of the conditions here. Just thinking about it makes me feel sick.

Front desk agent explained she was not able to be "helpful or accommodating" because, in her opinion, we "came in with an attitude". Besides being rude, and mis-representing herself as the manager, she was poorly informed about the policies of the hotel. She outright refused to accept any card that was not physically present, despite having had the ability to accept a faxed credit card authorization from my employer - an option that was never offered. She refused to offer solutions, said "I can't" multiple times (when by the way she could have), and actually went so far as to pull other guests waiting in the lobby into our interaction. I called the 800# for Best Western and filed a complaint, which would provide the ACTUAL management of the property an opportunity to address our concerns; no contact or effort to contact was ever made. Also, the bathroom walls and tub basin were littered with strange hair upon check-in. This experience, albeit only two nights, will actually keep me from voluntarily staying in a Best Western ever again.
