What guests think

At Best Western Willows Inn, many travelers highlight clean rooms, friendly service, and a convenient location near the freeway and Thunderhill, while others report inconsistent breakfast, occasional pests or maintenance issues, traffic noise, and a missing advertised hot tub.

Rooms are generally comfortable and updated inside, with some small layouts and occasional TV or Wi‑Fi hiccups. Facilities suit road trips with ample parking, trailer space, a gym, and a pool, though some amenities fall short. Several guests felt pricing was high for the area or motel style. Expect a basic, convenient stopover with uneven consistency.

I was really disappointed with this property after seeing the positive reviews when booking. The door to our room and the surrounding area around the door was covered in bugs. The pillows are mini and less than half the size of normal pillows. The faucet of the sink leaks when you turn it on, creating a watery mess on the counter. The place seems overall run down. The business center is unusable as “it’s like a sauna” - words from the front desk at checkin. When I requested a late checkout so I could have a place to take my work meeting, the manager was completely in accommodating, said it would be an extra charge (even though they weren’t fully booked that night), and copped an attitude. The area around the hotel is littered with trash. Would not stay here again if it were the only available place in town.

Breakfast is not the standard waffle maker and carb only options. It was a small room but a nice change and got us out to the race track. Neighborhood felt safe to keep the truck and trailer parked in. Bed kinda standard hotel crappy bed. And why doesn’t anyone use fitted sheets anymore???? AC is not able to be controlled it’s just On or Off. so it was an icebox just to have the white fan noice. Shower pressure was exceptionally good.

As soon as we arrive, there was a man passed out on the bench right next to the reception door. Staff at the front counter was friendly. Room was full of spiderwebs, silverfish, mosquitoes and other bugs. Sink was clogged. We slept terribly and we were extremely grossed out by the room. Would not recommend staying here, especially at that price. Doesn’t feel like a Best Western at all, just a roadside motel. The hotel needs an updated but more than anything it needs some major cleaning.

Needless to say breakfast was over. When I mentioned to clerk at the counter she stated, “oh yes, we have seen them in the lobby and we have exterminators that come every month”!

Bed was okay, there was a ton of gnats right outside our door before entering that entered the room when we do and not only were there a couple roaches that came from behind the headboard (my fiance killed them) we were exhausted from driving so after checking the bed and around it we just went to bed, but in the morning (like about 8ish AM) the door opened from someone that worked there I guess not knowing someone was in there?? My fiance and I were asleep so by the time we tried saying someone was in there they opened the door realizing someone was in there and quickly closed it.

This property is not up to the standard I’m accustomed to at Best Western, and doesn’t deserve the significant price premium over other facilities in Willows. It is just an average one and a half to two star motel. The basics were there: the beds were comfortable, the room was clean and the HVAC worked. Breakfast was a disaster. Fried eggs were like hockey pucks. The cooked food was all cold. The “hot” water for tea turned out to be tepid. Better to go to the Starbucks next door.

Willows is pretty bleak, not pleasing to the eye, but the people are nice, and it’s near my happy place: Thunderhill Raceway Park. This hotel is comfortable and clean. A slight step up from the Super 8 next door. The outside looks dated but inside is nice. Staff was courteous. When the price is reasonable I’ll go here versus Super 8… it’s often considerably more expensive and not really worth the difference in those cases, in my opinion.
