“A slumber party to remember”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2010 via mobile

I stayed at The Best Western John Muir Inn in September for my nieces birthday slumber party. We stayed in the Executive suite which included a little kitchenette. The staff were very friendly and attentive considering we were there with six 8yr olds for a slumber party. They even wished the birthday girl a Happy Birthday! Everything worked fine in the room up until we went to turn on the air and it didn't work too well. After a complaint we did receive a credit to our credit card. Their breakfast was also very good. They had tons to choose from, which was great for the kids. There was cereals, waffles, omlets, toast, biscuits and gravy, fruit, and diffrent coffee and juices. They are remodeling so the pool was off limits, but I would stay there again and definitely recommend this hotel.

“Yuck”

I never complain about hotels, but I must warn others about this one. Stayed there twice now. The first stay was OK; big room on third floor, albeit old (furniture, carpet, et al). Second stay was nightmare. Second floor smokey-smelling (even though room was non-smoking), cigarette burn hole in bedspread, unwashed washcloth hanging in bathroom, unfinished drywall repair in bathroom, stains in chair fabric. I'm pretty sure the folks in the room next to ours had a kennel full of dogs as well. All for $100 a night? Next visit to Martinez we'll drive the extra 10 minutes to Walnut Creek hotels.

This hotel keeps going from bad to worse. I have been staying here off and on for the past 4 years to viisit my son that lives just up the street. There has always been some kind of problem with the rooms. From being filthy, tv problems, wifi problems and ceiling leaks. The stay prior to this last one, the water from the tub upstairs leaked into my tub. So they moved me to a different room. In that room the tv and the wifi didn't work.This last trip I went out to spend Christmas with my son (by the way...I live in FL). I called the hotel prior to making my reservations and explained to them about all of the problems that I have had with them in the past. They assured me that everything had been taken care of. So I booked a room for 2 weeks. Everthing was fine until the 3rd night, People had moved in upstairs and their tub water was leaking into mine. Their solution to the peoblem was unsatisfactory so I moved to Extended Stay America in Pleasant Hill. A great comfortable room with great people. It's a large room w/kitchenette. And $20 cheaper per night. I highly recomend it.

“smoky-smelling room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2007

We stayed at this Best Western just before Thanksgiving for one night. Our room wasn't ready when we checked in at 4:30 p.m., so we went off to see the beavers and didn't actually get inside until after dinner, around 7:30 p.m. Immediately, we were aware that the room had a not-so-subtle smell of smoke, even though it was designated as a no-smoking room. We asked at the desk for another room, but none was available by then. The desk clerk did give us a $20 discount when we checked out the next day, but neither clerk seemed very concerned about our displeasure. We also smelled smoke in the corridor, which may have drifted from the conference rooms located nearby. In other words, this place may advertise itself as a non-smoking facility, but it's clear that the policy isn't strictly enforced. My advice is that if you are sensitive to the smell of stale smoke or have asthma, check out your room before accepting it.
