This property is clean, with comfortable beds, and good water pressure in the shower. Although there is no restaurant, a more than adequate continental breakfast is served in the lobby area. Located close to the 5 freeway, gas station and a convenience store, the hotel suits us fine and is our choice for a one or two night stay each racing season at Buttonwillow Raceway.

Fairly new property and everything was in great condition and clean. Previous night at another B.W. location was in badly need of repair and maintenance. This was a great room and reasonably priced. The other B.W. had a great breakfast and great staff just need much repair and update. This location had a great property and a minimal breakfast.

This hotel is very nice for a two-star hotel. The relatively upscale interior looks recently upgraded. Spotlessly clean. None of the rooms face the freeway but you can hear/feel semi's rumbling by though closing the bathroom door and running the constant-on fan covers up most of it. I stayed on the first floor. Tradespeople are up very early and like to warm up their trucks before they leave so the second floor might be quieter in the morning. Continental breakfast is pretty good but doesn't include hot food. Staff were super nice.

You get what you pay for, its just like any other travel motel and nothing more than sleep over type. Water pressure in the shower was very bad, but they had hot water. Room was clean where we see it, if you just look around the corners you will boat load of dust. Breakfast is very basic. we stopped over for the night with two small kids and we knew it was just a sleep over type. Surrounding areas to the property is deserted and dark.

My room could have been cleaner, especially around the baseboards and doors, but overall I was pretty happy with my stay. It was very quiet, which surprised me considering it’s right beside the busy interstate. Pool area and fountain in the front drive were very nice, and the front desk agents were very kind and welcoming.

The TV and remote did not work. It took a long time to check in. The toilet lid was faulty. This is in a rather remote area with nothing but fast food around. The bed was decent and it was better than sleeping in the car. For the price I was hoping for a little more. The staff was at least indifferent.
