What guests think

At Best Western Plus Northwoods Inn, travelers like the convenient harbor-side location and complimentary hot breakfast, but report dated rooms, highway noise, and frequent issues with the indoor pool, hot tub, and other amenities.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from tidy rooms to lingering odors, dirty floors, and maintenance lapses. Room comfort varies, with some views, compact layouts, and beds that several guests found hard or squeaky. Service is often praised, though occasional slow check-in, inconsistent communication, and policy rigidity are noted. Expect a practical stay with tradeoffs in upkeep and noise.

Facilities

Indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna are a major draw but frequently closed, dirty, overly chlorinated, or cold; some guests did enjoy them when available. Other facilities show age, with occasional issues like out-of-order laundry and tight parking.

We were extremely disappointed in this hotel. The beds were beyond hard. I'm not exaggerating when I say the floor would have been more comfortable. The hot tub was broken and out of service. The pool had so much chlorine that it made my whole family nauseous just being in the room for a couple minutes. We were not even able to swim. Had to leave the building. The complementary breakfast gave you a choice of dry crumble biscuits or waffles. My entire family was extremely disappointed in this hotel. When I called to confirm my reservation we should have been informed by the staff of amenities not being available. A large reason we chose this hotel over another one in Crescent City was because of the pool and hot tub. We wanted to soak and relax after a day full of hiking, but no one was able to. The staff were very young and uninformed of dining, entertainment or direction in the area. When traveling we usually opt for Best Western but this location was a huge let down. Reimbursement should be required from the hotel if the amenities they advertised aren't actually available. Will not return.

The hotel was directly across the street from the water. It was an easy walk to get to the large park, lighthouse, and visitor centers, and it was very pretty at low tide. I was given a choice of the fro t or back of the property and picked the fro t for the view. Our room was on the end and our total view was of the staircase and a bit of the building with the restaurant. The breakfast was fairly standard, but sufficient. The pool was OK, but the bathroom was dirty. I imagine it's difficult to maintain when there's wet kids using it. The staff seemed fairly neutral about their job, you'd think a nice welcoming smile would made customers and themselves feel better about the day. I didn't like the fact that there were people that had a u-haul trailer set up in the parking lot which they'd gather around smoking and dri king and throwing a ball which hit my vehicle rental (I changed parking spots after that). We were only able to stay the first night of our two night stay because there was a tsunami warning at about 8:30pm which was effective until further notice so we ended our vacation to California and drove all night back home.

The hotel is conveniently located on hiway 101. The room had no carpet on the floor. There was no mat to wipe your feet as you came in. The floors were filthy. My socks were dirty just walking to the bathroom. You could tell they hadn’t been mopped in quite some time. The best part of our stay was the free hot breakfast. I wouldn’t stay there again. Very subpar for a best western facility. I complained on checkout. The desk clerk said they would be sure to let housekeeping know. So what. No discount. No nothing to compensate for our stay in a poor hotel.

Super easy to find this location and nicely surrounded by other stores and the beach/marina is within walking distance. The room we stayed in seemed to be newly renovated and was very spacious! For the price, this was a great surprise to me. There are multiple buildings so I'm not sure if all are in the same condition. We were on the third floor in the build straight back which does have an elevator. The breakfast was located a different building but wasn't far to get to from our room and had a lovely selection. The main highlight though was the staff members. Everyone we had the pleasure of encountering were beyond kind, helpful, and pleasant to interact with. I want to give a huge shout out to Keyara who was working at the front desk when I went to checkin a few weeks ago. She was assisting a customer who constantly was degrading, belittling, and down right rude to her. Keyara handled this situation calm and collected despite receiving the complete opposite from this lady. I know what it's like to work in customer service, and it's times like that which really tests someone. High props to Keyara and I hope she gets the recognition she so clearly deserves!

I booked a room for 7 days and was planning to extend for the whole month, when I arrived, the evening shift front desk lady was amazing and willing to help , I complained of my room having a dirty carpet and requested to switch to the other room which was much better, the front desk lady called the night auditor to ask how to switch me to another room and this night Auditor was very rude and unprofessional, refused and ordered me to cancel it and go somewhere else. I have never seen rudeness like this. I stayed in the dirty room for 7 days and I could not wait to check out and go somewhere else.I would never stay at this hotel again.

At the time we checked hotel pool area was closed for maintenance. We’ve booked this hotel mainly because kids wanted the pool. We were not notified about that during check in time. When discovered that, we spoke to the front desk and we’re told we won’t get money back if we check out early, but can get a partial refund tomorrow when the manager is back. Since it was late we decided to stay at the hotel, and in the morning we spoke to the manager, but manager declined any partial refunds because we “completed our stay”. Apart from that, non of the lockers in our suit were working (improperly installed), dishwasher was lose under the countertop. Overall stuff was friendly except the manager.
