I asked to be located away from freeway noise and was put so close I could see traffic on I5 from my window. Room smelled so moldy from a water leak that penetrated carpet. I called front desk to request a anti mold agent and they did respond quickly with a maintenance person and a can of Lysol. Room smelled to bad and caused breathing problems so I stayed out by pool most of evening. Requested another room but they couldn't accommodate.

A sub par experience

The place is severely understaffed. When we reached there at 3.30 Pm, there was a long line to checking in with just one person. After checkin at 4 pm when we reached to the room it was still bring cleaned . Lastly, the breakfast in the morning was always out of many things because one person was responsible for cleaning , bringing food and coffee station. The rooms are super small with doors hitting the bed and not opening fully. The interior looks old . Overall the place doesn't feel like a Best Western. Only saving grace was that in spite of limited staff , they all served with a smile.
