On Saturday night there was a loud party with music and booze in the outdoor pool area. When we complained we were told that the party had rented the space and would last until midnight. In fact it continued past 1:00 AM. How can they rent rooms to families and then rent out the outdoor area for a party? Unbelievable.... more

I stayed here for a business trip and I wasn't completely satisfied. I had issues with getting my correct rate that they originally told me and getting my check-in/check-out dates correctly updated. I think this was partially due to the horrible internet service that they had. The hard-wired connection would not stay connected (needed to keep disabling/re-enabling my ethernet card)... more

The China Lake Inn offered decent value for the money. The friendly staff, clean premises, relaxing pool, and air-conditioned room were welcome after a day of driving along 395. Ridgecrest is nothing to write home about, but it works well enough as a pitstop on a bigger journey. The town embraces suburban sprawl, so it is difficult to say whether... more

I forgot my backback there, had it picked up by UPS and sent back to me. When I received it back there where items missing from it (items worth over $200 and even some souvenirs I bought)! Obviously the clean-up maid or the ones storing that backpack stole those items from my backpack. So if you're thinking about staying there... more

This hotel is great. It has all the perks: breakfast with a delicious make-your-own pancake feature, nice rooms, pool, hot tub, exercise room, and free internet. It's not the best deal in Ridgcrest but it is my favorite place to stay. more

Our family of 5 very comfortably stayed in a spacious room with two queen beds and a sofa bed. Room was quiet and cool. Breakfast was adequate and we were able to continue our trip well rested and fed. more

Our family stopped in Ridgerest on our way to Death Valley and found Best Western a great hotel to stay at. It was pretty hot and the kids really enjoyed the pool. Very clean. The desk clerk was really helpful in telling us about the surrounding areas as well as a good toursit place [maturango musemum] to check out before... more

The hotel itself wasn`t bad, but a few people made a party the hole night and so we can`t sleep a lot. We used also the wash facilities. more

My husband and I stayed here over Easter weekend. We wanted something as close as possible to Death Valley. We reserved a room here at the Best Western and requested a non-smoking room. When we got to the hotel we were given a Smoking room. They told us that was all they had. It was terrible. Absolutely everything in that... more
