“Pet Friendly!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

Large enough room, friendly staff. Good location. Breakfast was better than most places like this. Breakfast sandwiches, make your own waffles. Weekday wine and cheese hour. Rooms are cheery compared to that big famous place a few doors away.

Room Tip: Easy place to keep your pet! Room has some ventilation issues, it can get hot, even when it's c...

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

Staying here tonight. So far so good. Exceptionally great service, good value and pretty convinient. I will definitely be back, worth recommending to business travelers. The rooms are a pretty decent size and restaurants pretty close by. Good deal.

“Great bargain”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

We stayed here on a road trip from San Fran to LA, we had just left Carmel and were looking for accomodation for the night...what a find.
Huge room, beautiful toiletries in the bathroom (Crabtree and Evelyn).
Continental breakfast part of our tariff, which was fabulous, unlimited everything!!! Located across the road from many chain restaurants which could be helpful for a family. As we arrived really late at night we were glad to find places close by!! Very friendly staff and a warm welcome, thoroughly recommend. Also across the road are many department stores/shops. Great to have fantastic laundry facilities.

“Just a bit out of town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

Not in the downtown core, but a one minute drive there. Busy road, but the benefit to that is you are surrounded by a shopping centre with department stores, groceries & restaurants. Rooms are clean and the pool area is stellar. This is a pool you will want to hang around as the landscaping is lovely. Choose a room that looks into the pool deck, otherwise you get the parking lot. We did have to close the balcony door entirely to block out the road noise. It was hot, so had to use the A/C or else put up with noise.

“Travellers”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

Having stayed in Best Westerns during our month in California we thought this would be OK how wrong we were. Firstly (My own fault but as we were not used to this I never checked) all rooms are able to have dogs in them. The carpets are stained and there is a smell about them. One of our group got bitten by a flea we suspect. Brekky is boarderline, nearly just gave it a miss. but as we were planning a big day of travel decided to go with it., Must say the pool and spa were very good as a saving grace for our stay. We were walking distance to Modonna Hotel which was where we had dinner which was a good experience
