My elderly parents live in Porterville, so we visit there regularly. There are 2 decent places to stay: the Best Western and the Holiday Inn Express. Both are relatively new and include a do-it-yourself continental-plus breakfast. Clean, big room. Shower head non-adjustable; awful for short folks.

We had to come up to Porterville for a funeral so needed a room pretty fast. The staff is AWESOME! We wanted a room next to my parents and they got us that, wanted a later check out time and they gave us that. Had a free continental breakfast and the gal that was working in there was helpful and extremely pleasant for our mourniful day. At check out time I told them our room number and said we were set and said we were taken care of and good to go.
The rooms were a little small had a room with two queen beds. The bathroom was stocked well and quite spacious.with a nice shower. The closet were a little two small for all our suits and dress clothes to be hung in. They do supply a nice size safe and a really nice size refrigerator. That was a plus! They have a good little microwave and supply wifi even though I did not bring my laptop. The beds were extremely comfy but my son's bottom bed sheet was a little small and kept popping off. The could update there televisions to flat screens with better reception though. The furniture was quite nice marble finishes everywhere.
All and all it was better then I expected. Stayed quiet and peaceful for an unpleasant trip.

I would agree with some of the other comments on here. It was a little bit pricey, but the hotel is nice, big rooms and very clean. A good hotel.

Good place to stay. A little too pricey though. Room was a bit warm but turned on the a/c and ended up sleeping fine.
