Fine for a one night stay if you're not going to be using the room but we did have a few ants on the bathroom sink. :/ There was a tray of eaten food (probably from the restaurant) by the planter when we arrived and it was still there the next day. The price was way too expensive for the... more

We were only there for one night.. and we didn't love the place, but definitely didn't hate it either. Check in was brief, but perhaps going over the room details would've been helpful. When we booked the room, (on their website) it stated that we would be getting a non-smoking King room. And in my notes, I did say that... more

Had a nice stay here recently. Hotel is located in an old residential area which was very quiet. Arrived around 4pm and was greated by a friendly front desk. Check-in was easy and room was ready. Room over looked the pool which was okay for us but maybe a little noisy for some (lots of kids swimming). Overall, the room... more

This is my second stay. The last was five years ago. My husband remembered the quiet location and given that we were in town for the 4th of July weekend... we wanted to be out of the fray of the strip. First the cons: 1. They really should have a continental breakfast because although the food quality is fine at... more

The rooms are large and the beds very firm, which I like. Breakfast service is exceptionally slow. The jacuzzi is a joke. This would be a good option for families - definitely not a romantic destination. Would recommend to a group on a budget. more

This was the second BW we stayed in on our recent trip to the west coast of the US. We were somewhat dissappointed on the whole, although the staff were friendly & the room was fine - albeit we had noisy neighbours (also there was constant noise from the adjacent building's fans) - it was relatively expensive. Notwithstanding the cost,... more

Having spent two weeks touring California, I can honestly say that this was the most disappointing and over-priced hotel we stayed in. Sure ,the rooms are large but with paper thin walls and little or no sound proofing, we could hear every word spoken by our neighbours who chose to arise at 5.30am in the morning ! The hotel is... more

One of the better Best Westerns, for sure. It's a good 20 minute walk away from the action on State Street and the opposite end of town from the beach, but it's a pleasant and cosy property set in a quiet residential area in the north end of town. We hadn't booked in advance so were lucky to get a... more

I'm afraid to write too glowing of a review - if this place gets too popular, I might not be able to book again! I stay here every April for a long weekend with my sisters. There are 3 of us, so we get one of the two bedroom suites/apartments for three nights. The staff is friendly, the rooms are... more
