Nice place and clean. Several truck fuel stops in immediate area. Not really truck stops. Couple fast food places nearby. Breakfast good. There is a gravel driveway and open field behind the property. I didn't see any security issues for normal people. I had a pickup full of expensive big truck tires so i parked close to the building under the light. Good stay

The location, room, full breakfast that was avail at 5:30 was great. I was surprised how quiet it was with being right off hwy5. Just that it's next to open fields so there were some bugs/nats by/on the pool but that doesn't take away from the hotel. And it was nice that we a had a few fastfood places we could walk over to. Oh and the pool was perfectly heated with towels availble by the pool,

We found a bug in the bed, so we showered and chalked it up to bad luck, then we found more bugs in the bed and decided to leave. The receptionist (very nice and helpful) said we could get a refund, but had to go through the 3rd party app we booked with. We tried that, but the manager declined the refund request. Do not stay here. There's a beautiful Holliday Inn in Holister that costs about the same and is 10x nicer.

I'm a business traveler who has stayed in hundreds of Best Western properties over the years with overall great experiences. So I was disheartened to wake up at 3am on the first night of my stay (after having checked the sheets before going to bed) to find bed bugs biting and crawling on me. I left my belongings in the room to avoid spreading bedbugs back to my home. The hotel manager and night clerk refunded my stay, but neither they nor Best Western Corporate were interested in compensating me for my clothes (which they offered to wash, although I was not willing to take that risk) or luggage (which I also had to throw away). I have had scarring from the bites (I'm allergic to most bug bites), so I wanted to warn others to be extra careful if you're planning to stay at this location.

Needed a place for the night to break up our Southern to Northern California trip. It was important to find a place that had a breakfast as we have 2 kids with us. We arrived at 11pm. Check in was super easy. Rooms must've been newly renovated and upgraded which was awesome so it was very clean. It was cold and the heater worked prefect. We slept well. The breakfast was a full spread! Something for everyone. Would definitely recommend and stay again if we had to.

Stayed here for work. It's a nice little roadside hotel that provides lots of great amenities, but I really struggled with the noise outside my room. Folks were out late at night chatting loudly in the parking lot, the pool, or running truck engines for hours at a time throughout the night. I'm very sensitive to this kinda thing and I'll admit, it might bother me more than most. On all other accounts, this place is great, especially for the price.

Overall this is a great property. This is the second time I stayed here. Nice clean, well maintained, comfortable. I would stay here again. Breakfast was the only issue. It was not edible. I would not feed my dog who eats anything that breakfast. McDonald's is next door, go there. I bring my on cereal for times like this. But the milk was sitting out in a pitcher which is a recipe for a bathroom emergency mid afternoon.

Really convenient and nice hotel on the way to SF. Staff was friendly and they were super attentive to the care and cleanliness of the property. Breakfast was nice and although simple it had everything you could want - fresh coffee with flavored creamers (our fav :), fruit, bread, spread, cereal, waffles, eggs, oatmeal, juice, yogurt. We appreciated how attentive the breakfast lady was at cleaning the tables and re-stocking breakfast as guests came and left. Room was convenient and clean with a nice size tv and fridge. No frills otherwise everything was in perfect working order and we felt safe there. Really nice hotel; we would stay again!
