The hotel was nice and clean. The bed wasn’t so comfortable but that’s a personal preference. The property has beautiful landscaping and the location is ideal being next to the freeway. I do not recommend the restaurant next door the food is mediocre and overpriced. Over all a good experience and I wld stay again.

Not up to Best Western typical quality

Overpriced, pretty average. Not sure why there's so many good reviews. Uncomfortable pillows, clogging tub drain, squeaky loud bathroom door, no continental breakfast. Restaurant next door is loud and fills up the parking lot.
