The Best Western Plus Como Park Hotel offers a unique and appealing experience with its location inside an old train repair shop, giving it a boutique hotel vibe. The hotel features comfortable, spacious, and clean rooms, many of which face the pool and courtyard. The beds are soft and supportive, with plentiful pillows, though some guests found the pillows too thin. The hotel’s atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the helpful staff contribute to a positive experience. Guests can enjoy a variety of breakfast options, including eggs, omelettes, turkey sausage, yogurt, granola, and oatmeal, served in the lovely courtyard setting. The hotel is situated near the state fairgrounds, making it convenient for attending events like the fair or visiting local attractions such as the Como Zoo and Conservatory. Despite its charm, some visitors noted that the rooms have not been updated recently, and amenities like water pressure and shower functionality can be lacking. Parking is limited, with overflow lots requiring a walk with luggage. Guests also reported inconsistent experiences with breakfast and shuttle services, with some mornings lacking coffee or breakfast and the shuttle taking long breaks. While the location is not within walking distance to attractions, it remains a good base for fair visits and other activities in the area. Overall, the hotel is appreciated for its unique architecture, friendly staff, and great breakfast, although improvements in maintenance and amenities could enhance the stay.
