We stayed in room 110 for one night. Staff was very friendly upon arrival and had our reservation ready and check in only took about 2 minutes. The scent of baking cookies was heavenly and the staff told us they'd be ready in about 40 minutes and to be sure to come back to the office to get some. The... More

I start off saying, I stay in hotels about 200 night a year. This hotel is on my never again list! I had my reservations & about checking into this hotel when we pulled up and saw that it only had exterior entrances. In the rooms the inside had been refurbed in some rooms but it was a loose attempt... More

Dear MS Pilot, Please allow me the chance to apologize for the frustration you seem to have felt at the time of your arrival and your uneasiness of the outside corridors of our property. I am sorry that you were not aware of this at the time of your booking. We do try and make this point of fact available... More

Dear Cymbidian, Thank you for your review. I am happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. By the description you gave of your room it sounds like you were in what we call the Super Suite with one and a half bathrooms. I appreciate your mentioning the traffic sounds in this room which gives us the opportunity to... More

the rooms are of average size. the bed is ok. bathroom very small. the parking is for free but beware it's very crammed. the breakfast is a joke. they should better call this coffee + cookies. the "breakfast" lady didn't speak any english. wouldn't stay there longer than a night.

Dear das_ubersoldat, thank you for your points in your review. You are correct that the majority of our rooms are a standard size. However, we do have a few specialty room types that are larger for those who wish or require more space. The bathrooms have been designed to have the vanity outside the bathroom which most guests find more... More

I booked a King bed room for 2 nights through the hotel's website. Normally, I use an online booking service like Expedia or Travelocity but the rates were the same. From the Trip Adviser on line reviews, I expected a great room. Perhaps this is the case if you book a suite, but this room was a typical motel type... More

Dear minic00per, We appreciate the time you took to write your detailed review. You are absolutely correct that we have not changed over all of our older T.V.'s to flat screens yet, but we are in the process. This will be finished before the end of this year. All of our rooms have microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, hair dryers, and... More

After a long coast drive from southern California, I was expecting a generic motel stay. Wow, was I delighted by this property! We were given a room over the driveway, away from the rest of the rooms. What a beautiful room. The decor is Mexican, full of color and life, with dark furniture as contrast. Quiet room, and very spacious.... More

We needed to stay in a place that would allow pets. We try to avoid Best Western's, but had few choices for our needs. Let me say that this Best Western is DEFINITELY the place to stay when in the area. RESERVATIONS: Made them on-line. Very easy. CHECK-IN: We arrived in the evening and were greeted by 2 friendly staff... More
