I had a bathroom set up for assisted needs and it was perfect. Great shower and water pressure, super hair care products, huge easy to understand TV, good hot breakfasts, and the room felt homey and large. Very quiet even though it was right next to 101. Soundproofing must be good. I almost always choose Best Western for the way they accommodate dogs even though I did not bring any this time. I still enjoy seeing them around.

I had an excellent stay! My room was very clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I especially appreciated that the hotel accommodated dogs and had a large walking area, which made traveling with my dogs so much easier. The breakfast was also top notch. There were so many choices, and I really appreciated being able to have a proper, satisfying meal rather than the typical limited hotel breakfast. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this hotel!

Liked: Staff & service
The bed was comfortable and clean. The furniture needed to be replaced as it was worn out. The bathroom needed a good, deep cleaning. The location is nice as it’s right by a grocery store and within walking distance to a few restaurants. They offer a pool and hot tub, which would be a great amenity, but was not in working order when we arrived. Breakfast offered multiple options. The staff were friendly and helpful.
