Great Hotel!

Best Western Plus is a beautiful hotel. Beds we extremely comfortable, rooms were clean, and the staff was attentive. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of options. Fresh cookies upon arrival was a great touch. Really nice gym. Great neighborhood with a wonderful restaurant located next door with fresh seafood. My family will definitely be back.

Clean and neat but loud

Hotel is clean and neat. Pro - full breakfast in morning was a plus. Con - Thin walls! Neighbors upstairs were terribly loud. Sounded like they were moving furniture until late at night. Complaint made to front desk but it seemed they couldn't do much about it other than ask guests to keep it down - which didn't work. The location is right off the freeway which also causes increase noise. If you are looking for a clean and neat hotel, no frills, this is that hotel. But if you are looking for some luxury, then consider other options.

The room was surprisingly spacious and very clean. I liked having a refrigerator and microwave in the room. Temperature controls worked well. My room faced the main road so there was some noise but closing the curtains muted the sound and I had no trouble sleeping. I appreciated the breakfast and always available free coffee.

Our room was clean, and beds were comfortable. Only downside is it’s noisy because its right next to the freeway. And the breakfast just wasn’t that good. And not many options.

Very comfortable, clean and friendly

The staff was friendly and very helpful. The property was clean and the room was comfortable. The parking was pretty straight forward and simple, that's huge when you just want to unload and relax... no stress lot. I really appreciate and recognize the efforts made by the staff and owners. Will definitely return to this location. Thank you!

Felt like I was in a Motel 6. There was orange tape on the walls and it was embarrassing to bring my date here. The photos online were deceiving. The pool looks like a childrens playground pool and the lobby was tiny.... picture Motel 6. It was over $200 for a crappy atmosphere. The only good thing about it was the size of the room.

The hotel was nice and clean. The area around it is just blah. It sits next to the freeway. If you just need a good, clean place to stay for the night, this is good. There is a seafood restaurant next door, but that’s about it.
