Good breakfast and fitness center
The breakfast was good and fitness center had nice room. It is along the highway so there is noise, but I enjoy that.

Despite being in a room facing the freeway this stay was amazing, and we could barely hear the noise outside. Great beds, tvs, WiFi, shower, in room coffee, free breakfast, and great staff.

Best Western by I-5
This was a nice hotel, but should be called the Best Western I-5. We could literally throw a rock and hit the freeway. The sound of cars and trucks flying by all night was not soothing. And they gave us 4 throw pillows instead of bed pillows. Who does that? That said, it was clean and the beds were comfortable. Just take pillows and eat plugs.

Great value!
The front desk employees were so nice. The rooms were clean and look like they are recently upgraded. Overall excellent customer service. My only complaint is the bed wasn’t very comfortable

My daughter goes to school in the area and we meet up every now and again. This was my first stay there and I would definitely stay again. We loved the kitchenette option so we didn't have to go out to eat unless we wanted to.
