My stay at Best Western Plus Travel Inn was quite pleasant overall, though there were a few hiccups. The room was spacious and spotless, and I loved the convenience of being so close to Lygon Street with its array of restaurants. However, I faced some issues with room access that caused stress before an important procedure. Despite that, the staff was generally friendly, and the location was perfect for my needs.

The room was large and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and plenty of natural light. It was clean and tidy, but the setup made moving around a bit challenging due to limited space. The bathroom was functional but a little compact for my taste. I also appreciated that the windows opened, letting in fresh air.
Service

Service was generally courteous and helpful, although my initial check-in experience was a bit rough as the front desk staff seemed unenthusiastic. I did have a frustrating situation with access to my room, but the staff were trying to assist within their limits. I wish the communication had been better, especially regarding the locksmith delay.

I had a decent breakfast, though I felt the selection was a bit limited and didn't quite hit the mark for the number of guests. The scrambled eggs and bacon were okay, but I was hoping for a bit more variety. It was a letdown in that regard.

The hotel offered a range of facilities that I found useful, including laundry and housekeeping services. I didn’t use everything available, but having a pool on-site was a nice touch, and they provided good options for room service and shuttle services, which I appreciate.
