Detailed Reviews
Hotel's Favorite
This hotel was very clean. The staff were very friendly. We were worried about noise because it is close to the freeway but we didn't even know it was there. They had a nice breakfast spread. Simple but covered all the bases. Even had a very nice outdoor patio for eating.

Loved staying here. Pool is 3-4 feet deep and perfect for families of kids, big enough for games, deep enough for laps, warm enough to swim at night! Salt water! Crystal clear not over chlorinated. Hot tub was hot and big and delightful. Night time swimming under clear Gilroy sky. Breakfast was adorable. Pancake machine, nice muffins (not the crummy packaged kind), reportedly the eggs and sausages were great. Good coffee! It’s rare we actually *eat* the free breakfast but this one was fun and great! QUIET safe hotel. Folks were settled in by 10, and there was a new baby next door but rooms are quiet enough that earplugs blocked it out totally. We got a great room on first floor with a cute porch and a view of the pool and just LOVED it. Bathrooms were new and clean, bed mattresses had sanitary covers on them, sheets and covers were fresh, pillows were comfy, not too hard not too soft… air conditioning in the room was perfect temperature and machines were quiet — not that loud AC that makes freezing wet air. Internet fast enough to stream Netflix from iPad (bring an HDMI connector!) and TV—awesome. Kids had fun watching movie on new big TV. Fridge was big! Microwave clean. Front desk staff adorable with cute cookies at check in. I love love love this hotel, we will be back!!!

Stayed two nights. Hotel is pricey compared to those around. Expected more at this price, but property is quite aged and fittings are old fashioned and worn, example shower tap and Aircon is still using casement. Service is a letdown. They don't provide room service/ housekeeping when I requested for bath towels and toilet rolls, instead was told to get it from front desk which is another block away. Have not mentioned that this is winter/December and front desk is not linked to my block.

My family and I stayed here for one night. We were in town for a wedding and this Best Western was 20 minutes away from the venue. Check in was fast and front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. We didn’t get to enjoy the pool or jacuzzi but I do want to share that in the morning I noticed that the people who were by the pool the night before left trash and there was a soda can floating in the pool so it made me not want to take my kids to the pool. We stayed in a suite and the bathroom doors didn’t work properly, one of the doors wouldn’t lock. Overall the room was clean. Breakfast had a good variety of selections. My favorite were the mini omelettes and potatoes. There was plenty of seating and area was kept clean. Breakfast staff made sure to keep items well stocked. I would stay at the hotel again if I was in the area.

We arrived here feeling weary on the last night of a cross-country road trip and did not have high expectations due to mixed reviews and the fact that we were traveling with our small dog (sometimes the rooms for travelers with dogs are not as nice). But we were so pleasantly surprised! The room was spacious and clean and so was the bathroom. Our ground floor room faced the pool and it was a little crowded, but we couldn't hear anything through the windows and weren't bothered at all by noise (plus the pool closes at 10:00 pm). Although it was 100 degrees, we stayed cool. We slept well and would return to this property again.

If you are just looking for a place to sleep, this hotel is OK. Other than that, my experience was pretty bad. The grab bar in the shower came off in my hand, "breakfast" was a paper bag with a juice box, an orange, and a granola bar. They won't make up your room AT ALL, not even clean towels, if you are staying more than one night. And, don't ask to watch a movie - we were told that that wasn't a feature of the hotel, even though there are literally four pages of PPV movies listed on the TV screen.
I have family in town, so I'll be going back to the area often, but I'll be trying out one of the other hotels next time.

We decided to drive an hour south of San Francisco for saving on hotel costs.
Gilroy is in a nice distance, located at Hwy 101. We checked in at the Best Western Plus Hotel. This turned out to be a really good choice. The rooms where nice and large, The breakfast place was large, the visitors had the ability to seat nicely distanced for COVID protection. The empyees have been wearing their masks properly. This place was really great, we would choose it again.

This Best Western was very close to the freeway with easy access, yet it did not seem to be in a busy, noisy area. Very pleasant entry that had elements of a nice hotel. Well designed for both security and easy room access at the same time.

Very rude Staff, especially the lady checking us in, a young lady with a hat & piercings, she hates working there. The room we were given reeked of smoke & Marijuana, so we asked for a different room, and she said Just open the windows, we said no because we have allergies, they gave us a smaller room & charged us for both rooms. I was charged extra $$$$ for no reason, try to explain to the owner & staff, but they did not care, especially the young lady with the hat & piercings. On the day of check out, we went downstairs to eat breakfast & when we came back there was a worker in the room throwing away our food in the refrigerator, I asked her what you doing, and she replied the lady at the front told us we had checked out, it was the young lady with the hat & piercings. I & my family will never use Best Western again, & I will make sure to let all my friends & family & co-workers know not to use Best Western

The Forest Park Inn is a magical place with amazing, energetic and attentive staff. Free breakfast is included with your stay and is comprehensive with cooked, cold, and grab and go items to suit all needs and purposes. There is a free library with books to take, a heated pool, hot tub, spa, gym, laundry, and secure building to accommodate your every need. Weather staying a night or a month, this is definitely the best value and service for your dollar! I have been known to travel a good deal and I wish every place I booked was as much of a pleasant surprise as this was.

When we were there last week it was not to-go, but they did have a server (rather than self-serve).
Just ask your computer for the website for this Best Western and the email will be on it.
NO, they don't, but taxi services have special rates. I personally doubt though that those are better than UBER for example.
check in is at 3:00 pm
