    There were no locks on the doors on both side entrances that lead to the rooms but I can't imagine much nonsense taking place in this town. It seemed a bit dirty inside the hallways but the room seemed fine. The breakfast was not too good, eggs were not real but that is becoming the norm sadly, but for the price, I figured shelling out for real eggs wouldn't have been too much to ask.

    The location was great, I was going to Yosemite the next day and needed a place relatively close and it was. The clerk was very nice and so was the woman working the breakfast area.

    The remote didn’t work.

    This is our second time staying at this hotel. Facility is clean and maintained. Breakfast was great, kids enjoyed making their own waffles. Staff was very friendly and did not ask questions as to why i was asking for more toilet paper and towels, we received them in minutes of asking. Great location, minutes from softball fields. There was an actual hand soap dispenser instead of a tiny bar of soap.

    Elevator was not in working condition and we could not get this room on the first floor which made it very difficult to get up and down the stairs. Paid over $200 for this room which did not meet our expectations especially with having to use the stairs. I could not recommend this service to anyone.

    Room was tired and adequate but not upscale by any means. Breakfast was as expected and nothing special

    Breakfast was excellent. Very friendly lady running the show at breakfast. Room clean and comfortable. Price was very reasonable given what I'd pay for similar in UK. Parking included as well. Used as base to get to Yossemite, 1hr 30min drive but please drive and scenic. Some good restaurants close by, in US that still means a drive.

    The heater was little noisy and can be toned down if possible.

    The hotel staff Mechelle and kitchen staff Grant set the tone for this friendly place! The hotel is older, but rooms are large and comfortable. Very impressed with the breakfast, and especially Grant's sunny and cheerful greetings. The coffee/tea machine at front desk is a plus if you come in late and want to have something warm to drink. The location is convenient, close to downtown and restaurants. Will return!!!

    The breakfast room was simple and it was a typical American breakfast. The pool was a bit small. We were on the first floor and there was no elevator. The noise from the minifridge was loud.

    The room was amazing, it was a suite with two bedrooms and all facilities. The shower was also really nice.

    I called the front desk asking for an extra towel and toilet paper and the person who answered said they had no towel to give me but I can get toilet paper, the only thing is I would need to pick it up at front desk. Front desk was too far for me to walk to since my room was located in the very back of the property and it was 11pm. Luckily I had a clean travel towel in my bag. The elevator was inoperable. We didn’t like how this location was a two-night minimum and kind of pricey for it being a Best Western. I only needed it for Saturday night but decided to go ahead and book it for the two nights so I wouldn’t have to drive back and forth into town.

    It was clean and located not too far from the venue. We liked the AC, since it was +110* outside. Our room was very spacious and clean.

    Very tired feel overall, looking run down. Also shower didn’t have a door, just a flimsy curtain- all the water went all over the bathroom floor - that was a real slippery fall hazard.

    Well the only problem we had was our pullout bed was dirty. The sheets were dirty . They forgot to check it when they cleaned the room. The bedroom smelled like urine for some reason. It's an older hotel so it smelt old.

    It was very roomy the beds were very comfortable.
