If my wife and I were to rate the Best Western in Green Valley for only our room and the adjoining accommodations, I suspect that we would give it a five-star review. Though the motel is slightly off the "beaten path" (as opposed to all the other hotels/motels in the area which are located adjacent to the I-19 freeway), it is, as others have said, in a quiet neighborhood and thus quite pleasant.
The rooms were excellent, the indoor decor appealing, and the front-desk staff always pleasant (though one young male worker did not know much about the area and to a simple question about directions suggested that we talk to some "old time resident" if we wanted to know our "how to go" answer. He did not, however, suggest where we might find one of these persons). Neither of us are swimmers but the pool looked inviting and welcoming on a hot afternoon of outdoor activities.
The motel fails, however, in one striking way: For whatever reason, the owners have, rather miserably, decided to allow a non-affiliated restaurant to serve as the only place for its guests to get a much-needed breakfast in the morning. We expected to have to go out in the evenings, and we did, but we were floored to find that it was impossible to even find a piece of toast or a glass of orange juice unless one were will to pay up to $8.50 or more for it at what purports to be a French-chef-run locale. The result was that we found ourselves during the three days that we stayed at the Best Western driving each morning to the local McDonalds about a mile or so away to grab something filling.
Another reviewer has already noted that nearly every Best Western in the country now serves some kind of complimentary breakfast. Some are, of course, better than others, but this must be the only member of the chain in the United States that consciously chooses to offer absolutely nothing. That fact would have to rate them a "Zero" if that low a score was possible. So would we stay there again? Probably not. The rooms costs were as high or higher than a comparable room in Tucson and, as a result, I think we would opt for the newer Baymont or somewhere else where it wasn't necessary to get dressed to go eat in the mornings.
