Property is located just off the 101 freeway - convenient for overnight stay with continued travel next morning. Room was fine and bed was quite comfortable. Water pressure in shower was great. Unfortunately, we chose this hotel specifically because of the hot tub, which we badly needed after a long drive from Los Angleles. The spa was not working, so we were very disappointed. Wish we had gotten a notice from Best Western after we booked. Will consider another property next time...

Best breakfast ever at a hotel better than a 5 star. Big spacious rooms. The only thing that bothered me was that I gave a 25 dollar deposit and my room was left just fine. I never got the deposit back. Other than that I would highly recommend this location.

Good value and the facilities were fine. The only drawback was that we could hear other guests through the walls--- at 1:00 am and again at 3:00 am. It was a Monday night in February and there were very few guests, but for some reason they put us all in the same wing

My husband and I would definitely stay here again. The property was well-maintained, and has a great dog-friendly grass area. The free breakfast was better than expected. As far as inexpensive motels go, this is definitely top tier.
