Best Western Plus Kalamazoo Suites
I enjoyed the real eggs and real sausage for breakfast. The bed was not as comfortable as it could have been. There was a pervasive smell of marijuana in our room and it was supposed to be non- smoking. We have stayed here before, but this room was not as pleasant.
