“Liked this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

I stopped here at the end of october for 2 nights, on the way to Death Valley. I really liked this place. The room was clean and quite spacious. The staff were very good and the pool was really nice. I also enjoyed the inclusive breakfast. If I was staying in the area again, I would defiently stay here. Well worth it for the price.

“Updated, clean, comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011 via mobile

This Best Western was a nice surprise. The propert is kept clean and has all the basic services expected in a budget hotel and the rooms were nicer than expected. It looks like the room was remodeled recently so everything worked well. The shower and bathroom had plenty of room and the bed was comfortable and had a nice duvet. There was a lot of furniture in the room including a chair with ottoman, dresser with a flat screen, and dining table with 2 chairs. A fridge and microwave were included too. It was nice to have everything you need for a comfortable stay, but the room was pretty tight with all that stuff. Breakfast was what you would expect with cereal, waffles, etc. The staff checked in to keep it stocked and clean so that made it a little above average. This hotel is close to plenty of dining options and sits on the main road where most are so you can just drive down the road and pick what you are hungry for. This hotel is dog friendly and charged less for 2 dogs than the comfort inn where we had planned to stay. I am very happy with the choice we made.

“Pleasant Surpirse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

I stayed here Memorial Weekend for a couple of nights in the middle of a move as my new home was not ready and I had to be out of my old home. My room was very, very clean and updated. The staff is very friendly and go out of their way to make you comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were excellent! I slept very well! Tucked away in a nice cabinet was a nice, clean fridge and microwave. The television worked great and was picture perfect. Good selection of channels, too. I would stay here again and recommend it, as well.

Room Tip: I liked the second floor, quiet and I had a good view of the main road.

“Don't Stay Here!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel charges over $90.00 for this room on there website!! We prebooked this motel site unseen. Big mistake! It is only a 2* hotel and that is a ridiculous price for a run down motel like this! This motel is very old and has no elevator. Our room had two beds in it and it was so small there was no room to put our suitcases unless we put them on the floor by the door or on the bed. This room had a dirty footprint on the wall by the bed and chipped plaster and dirty marks on the other walls and the carpet was dirty! The room was so small that when my husband was using the computer at the table he had to get up and move if I wanted to pass by him! We did like the free breakfast and the refridgerater and microwave in the room. Best Western shoudl not charge customers $90.00 for this room!!
