“Conflicted...Great location, great staff, room marginal”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

Great location, spectacular ocean view. The first room I checked into had a family in the next room, although I don't think the kids were being overly loud, there was NO sound proofing between rooms. It seemed like the kids were playing/screaming/crying right at my door. The internet connection was also very poor - and the room smelled like someone had smoked in the room (non-smoking room) #114 - the room did have a connecting door with the room next door where the family was - wondering if the door wasn't sealed properly. I asked to be moved and the staff accommodated the move and apologized for the inconvenience. The second room (#111) was great - no smoke smell, stronger internet service and could hear no outside noise (except the highway outside, but traffic really slows at night). The room could use some repairs and improvements: toilet leaked from the bottom whenever is was being used. the bottom bathroom door hinge wasn't well connected and was clunky. TV reception spotty at times, but the view was amazing. Will probably stay here again because of the location and the helpful staff, but would have liked the room to have been a little nicer. Also, would have liked to have had a microwave.

Room Tip: If you need wireless, be sure to ask at check in as there are rooms with stronger access than others...

“Good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

iStayed there in Sept. Weather was nice but cool as you are right by the ocean, right across the street from the beach (walk through the tunnel). Very good location. Staff was very friendly and aiming to please. Our priorities were - close to the beach so we could walk along the water, a view and two beds, The room itself was clean and upgraded to an acceptable level - the view on the second level was lovely even though there is no balcony and you look through a tall walkway along the beach. There is no air conditioning - don't think they need it plus the windows opened. The fridge wasn't working properly and was replaced mmediately. Glad we didn't end up staying at the Beachcomber, which was our first choice, because there was more value here (quite a large price difference). How much time does one stay in their hotel room anyways with such a lovely setting outdoors. Breakfast was fine. We called it the little hotel that "could" because they tried hard.

Room Tip: Upper level so you have a view.

“Nice older hotel with spacious rooms on hill”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

Hotel was clean and comfortable and is fine for Fort Bragg. Its layout is spread out and somewhat awkward; the TV reception is ratty like that on old cable systems from the 1980.s.
The back building where I stayed was quiet, and I would stay there again.

“Out dated property...high price”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

I guess October is still the high season. Even with AAA the rate was 134. Room was noisy, small and tired. Needs serious updating.

“Lovely Hotel, Noisy Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

This Best Western Hotel is a good choice while in Fort Bragg in many ways: The rooms are VERY spacious; they have been updated and are clean and comfortable. The breakfast room off the lobby is huge by standards of hotel chains offering free breakfast, and the breakfast was more than adequate. I find that usually hotels make terrible and weak coffee, but the coffee here was quite good. My only real complaint about the hotel is that its "ocean view" is actually first a view of Hwy 101 which passes through town, and it is noisy. I asked the woman at the reception desk whether the noise would die down at night and she assured me that it would. It did, but by 6 a.m., cars were rolling along again. This is fine if you want to get up early and hit the road, but for anyone who might want to sleep late, it would be annoying. The TV in the room was quite old, and the remote had no number buttons, so you could not key in a channel using, for example "4" and "2" for Channel 42; you had only an up and down channel option and so had to go through every channel to get to what you might want to watch. Perhaps the other rooms do not have such an odd channel changer; certainly I have never seen one before last night! But over-all, this is a very pleasant motel and close to the center of town, so it's easy to access restaurants.

Room Tip: "Ocean view" rooms are more expensive; since the whole motel faces the beach (on other sid...
