- michaelbX4848PI (2/5): Try another hotel first - Feb 3 in, check out Feb 4, As a frequent traveler who because of unavailability all too often has to stay in properties that are described as being upper level properties. In my opinion this property should be called the LEAST BEST Best Western. On a trip south and after driving for close to 6 hours I thought staying in Ridgecrest Ca would be a great stop over with then only needing three more hours the next day to get to my destination. Unfortunately at the time of booking the other "Major Brands" i.e Hampton Inns, Holiday Inn Express, Springhill suites, were all booked which didn't leave much choice for a comfortable overnight stay. However per other "POSITIVE" reviews this property came up as to what appeared to be a reasonably nice property. The only 2 nice things that I can say about this property was who was on the desk when I came in was very friendly, cordial and easy to deal with. The other positive was the decent breakfast that was available to guests. Other than that it was a total disaster. First the room was ok but nothing special or outstanding but to access the bathroom there was one door that worked to either close off the bedroom or when oopened from the bedroom served as a semi private door to the toilet area. There was no permanent door that separated toilet from the rest of the bath area. One sink in a cramped space. When the heater went on (which it did frequently and no heat in the bathroom) it was so loud it woke me and my wife up. Oh and that didn't account for heaters that were in neighboring rooms as we also heard those too. That then opens up the "Pandora's Box" We were on the first level and heard every noise from the rooms next to us and above us. The blanket was so thin you could almost see through it and there were no extra blankets in the closet. At 6:00 AM people were already banging stuff on the outside that added to the misery of not being able to sleep. My poor iwatch went crazy as it kept telling me it was time to go to sleep when I thought I was. Even though I paid for this room with CC points I'm convinced stayin at the Red Roof Inn would have been a better choice or for that matter my car would have been more comfortable and certainly wouldn't have been disturbed with all of the outside sounds that kept us awake.

- danielcS3417DT (6/5): Okay for a night... - My wife and I stayed here for one night while visiting Ridgecrest. Overall, the stay was just "okay," but there were a few quirks that would make me think twice about a longer stay.
On the positive side, the room was a good size. The bathroom had an odd shape to it, but it was functional and got the job done. However, comfort was a mixed bag. The bed was extremely soft—too soft for our taste. We were thankful we were only staying for a single night, as I don't think we could have handled it for longer.
We also had some concerns regarding the facility itself. The door to our room closed and locked, but there was a great deal of "play" in the frame even when latched, which didn't make me feel very safe. The parking lot is also laid out strangely, with specific signage demanding that you do not back into the spots.
We took a look at the breakfast in the morning, but it didn't look very appealing, so we elected to go elsewhere to eat. It’s a passable place for a quick overnight if you are in a pinch, but it has room for improvement.
- Gretchen (9/5): - room, cleanliness, comfortable bed, breakfast, staff
- marylM8903WZ (10/5): Absolutely fabulous - Audrey at the front desk, is super friendly and very very accommodating. Angelina , the one who makes the food Tuesday-Friday is amazing. Her food is delicious and her customer service skills are outstanding. These two together made an awesome experience. Which is surprising. I’m from Nevada and Las Vegas usually boasts about their customer service skills. This beat western beat a lot of places by far. I will definitely come back.
- Mr Icon (7/5): Everything is fine except the noise - Breakfast, parking, landry, swimming pool, gym - all normal. Road noise
- Brigitte (7/5): -
- monica (8/5): -
- Ed (8/5): My stay was very pleasant and the property provided everything I had expected. - The property was conveniently located and really provided me everything I needed for my short stay. Missed the breakfast every day, but having that option was a plus. I knew the property before renting so really only had one thing to slightly complain about but I’m not even sure it was the property’s fault. The TV Chanel’s flickered occasionally when watching shows. But honestly it wasn’t a huge problem.

- Stef9175 (8/5): - Le rapport qualité/ prix La piscine froide
- joelcC2823VS (8/5): Good visit. - The room looked to be recently remodeled with hard surface flooring. The bathroom appeared newly done also. The work out room was better equipped and more useful than the one in the casino hotel I stayed in the next night. The breakfast was good omelets, bacon, biscuits and gravy, fruit, and really good vanilla yogurt. The pool and hot tub were clean and refreshing. Great facility for an older property.
- Didier (8/5): -
- Péter (10/5): Idealis megallohely egy hosszabb utazasban - Minosegi kornyezet, nagyon kedves szemelyzet, korrekt reggeli kinalat. A szoba nagy es kenyelmes berendezessel felszerelt (pl. kulon labtarto a fotelhez). Boseges parkolasi lehetoseg. Sajnos vekonyak a falak, ha az emeleten van valaki az ember felett, akkor annak minden lepeset hallja.
- heidi (10/5): - The room is great. I also enjoyed the pool area. It’s near a busy road so it was a little noisy in the evening.
- Nini (8/5): - Good place
- Sven (4/5): Keine Nschtrihe möglich - Extrem laut ung hellhörig. Maximal 2h Schlaf.
- Frederik (8/5): - Clean comfortable room, friendly & professional staff. The bed could use a mattress topper though.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Very nice staff, beds comfy and overall great
- Patrick (8/5): -
- Becky (8/5): -
- CLAUDIO (6/5): -
- Nataliia (8/5): Nourishing breakfast - Excellent breakfast with meat, scrambled eggs and potatoes, yogurt, drizzles, waffles, chocolate syrup. Good bathroom with proper toiletries. No veggies during breakfast
- SC (7/5): Bel hôtel mais bruyant - Belle chambre, grande et extrêmement propre. Parking juste devant la chambre. Petit-déjeuner bien. Hôtel très bruyant. Le bruit de l'extérieur est continu. D'ailleurs, ils mettent des bouchons d'oreilles à disposition dans la chambre. À éviter si vous voulez vous reposer.
- Oriane (5/5): Isoler les fenêtres et l’hôtel sera parfait - - Personnel très gentil.
- Bon petit déjeuner avec un large choix.
- Grande chambre bien équipée (frigo). Malgré tous les atouts de la chambre nous avons passé une nuit affreuse ! L’hôtel est situé en bord de route très fréquentée et notre chambre donnait dessus. C’est du simple vitrage donc la chambre était extrêmement bruyante, si bien que nous avons cru que la fenêtre était ouverte.

- Daniele (8/5): Buona posizione per la visita dei parchi delll’Arizona - La posizione ed il parcheggio gratis Struttura da ammodernare . Colazione in linea con quella fornita dai Best Western
- Marjolein (7/5): Prima hotel voor tussenstop locatie. - Ruime kamers met gemakkelijke bereikbare ligging. De airco maakte veel lawaai.

- Marvin (8/5): -
- Daniela (8/5): - Piscina sotto la tour Eiffel, posizione centrale sulla strip, camera spaziosa, vista sulla sphere E sulla ruota panoramica Nulla
- Elena (8/5): -
- Romain (7/5): -
- Marco (7/5): - Classico motel con accesso diretto alle stanze dal parcheggio. Struttura nel complesso piuttosto vecchia, necessiterebbe una rinfrescata. Staff cordiale, la stanza aveva un problema con lo scarico del wc e ci ha immediatamente spostato in una nuova stanza Struttura un po’ vecchia nel complesso.
- S. Hoogstad (1/5): Heel slechte service - Zwembad was erg fijn. Ook beschikbaarheid van een wasmachine en droger (tegen betaling) is erg handig. De man die op het terrein rond liep heeft me goed geholpen met het werkend krijgen van de droger (hij heeft wel.hart voor zijn werk). We kregen een kamer vlakbij de airco van het hoofdgebouw, deze maakte een flinke herrie. Onze eigen airco zo hoog mogelijk gezet om de herrie van de andere te overstemmen. Dame bij de receptie had er duidelijk geen zin in, had ook niet gezien dat ik 2 kamers had gereserveerd. Dat moest ik zelf zeggen nadat ik de 1e had afgerekend, ze deed alsof ik heel lastig was.
Onze zoon gleed uit bij het zwembad en kwam ongelukkig ten val en werd afgevoerd met de ambulance. De dag erna gingen we uitchecken en er heeft dus niemand gevraagd hoe het met hem ging, echt een schande!
- Ralf (8/5): Gutes Bett und sauberes Zimmer. -
- Christoph (4/5): Notwendiger Zwischenstopp. - Der Geruch nach Mottenkugeln und der Lärm (direkt an der Klimaanlage vom Haupthaus).

- Edgars (10/5): - Pankūkas brokastīs, higiēnas piederumi izcilā kvalitātē Numurs pie viesnīcas agregātiem, baigi trokšno.
- Dmytro (9/5): Reasonable and nice place to stay - Convenient location for a visit to Death Valley and the surrounding area. Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff. No frills breakfast. The breakfast is pretty basic. It has scrambled eggs, but apart from that, it's fairly unhealthy. Hard to expect more for this price though.
- Stacey (9/5): Great place to stay for a one night stop.t was clean and staff was friendly would definitely stay here again. - It was clean Door didn’t lock properly but the staff immediately moved us to another room

- Gooddayahead (10/5): Lovely hotel and solid gold staff. - The staff at this hotel were absolutely outstanding.
We had arrived very late the night before and were shattered.
The smiling receptionist found us a parking place which was so kind.
The following day, technically, breakfast had closed but the lovely lady took pity on us and rustled up some food for us.
How kind was that?
The room was clean and comfortable but goodness me, the aircon sounds like a Navy jet taking off from China Lake!
- Laura (8/5): -
- Ilse (9/5): A good place to stay - Nice, big room, loved the argan oil toiletries , the pool was great! The pillows are horrible
