I would love to thank the front desk manager on helping my parents out with checking in for their stay. They usually have one of us with them when they go on trips but thankful for the gentlemen in the front who assisted them with everything. Thank you best western employees wish I got your name!

New York Pizza was a 8 minute drive away, easy to access, and food was great and glad it was nearby. Service was good as well. Breakfast was good, wish there were more protein options.

This Best Western is conveniently located, near freeways and SFO. The bed was very comfortable, room and hotel clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was great ... Good eggs & protein options. I LOVED the sauna. Unfortunately the hot tub was out of commission and there were no outdoor seating areas. Lots of road noise but AC unit helped to muffle it. My toilet had a constant drip otherwise I was very happy with my stay.

Good stop near airport

Good service at a good location and at a reasonable price, especially as everything has gotten so expensive in the US in recent years. A good breakfast and good service from the personal there.

Best Western = Lifesavers for our trip!

We were a transfer from a different hotel chain, which left us feeling unsafe. I contacted Best Western Coyote Point and they offered early check-in at a fee that INCLUDED that day’s breakfast. The cost for that was less than a fast food breakfast for the same number of people. The conditions and convenience of this hotel will have me staying here again.

We enjoyed the room, beds, staff and the breakfast. It was very hot in the room and the thermostat on the wall wouldn’t lower the temperature under 76 degrees. The laundry dryer was extremely loud and unbalanced. It was deafening to be in the laundry room and I am so grateful our room wasn’t on that floor because you could hear it all the way down the hall. It took 2 hours per load to dry and the clothes were still damp so I folded them up. The hot tub was also closed.

My biggest complaint is that the EV charging was expensive. The main reason I chose this hotel was access to EV charging. They have plenty of chargers, but they wanted .60 kWh– which a Tesla Supercharger down the road is faster and is only .45 kWh. I should be able to plug in over night and charge for free or a minimal fee. Parking was also not free, which is frustrating. Finally, we had a fire alarm go off and had to evacuate the hotel. Obviously not the hotel's fault, but it still happened. I will say that the breakfast was pretty good.

My go to hotel

I’ve stayed here several times while visiting family in the past few years. Overall, it’s hard to beat. It’s the same price as most other comparable hotels in the area but they include a nice breakfast. They recently upped their parking charge which used to be free to $14 a night, which is still cheaper than most other places as well. The room is nice, just don’t expect the latest modeling in the bathroom. But it’s clean and the beds are comfortable. I do hear people above me walking so I’m not sure how much insulation there is between rooms but this is also pretty common in this price range. The only negative was a fire alarm went off at 10 o’clock at night and everyone had to evacuate. The fire department came . It apparently was a false alarm or someone smoking in their room, but better to be warned than to be sorry. I’m not holding this against the hotel. I’d stay here again.
