What guests think

At Best Western Sundowner, travellers frequently praise the friendly service, clean and spacious rooms, and an especially generous breakfast, while noting the older, motel-style property shows wear with occasional maintenance issues, noise from AC or neighbors, and dated features.

Amenities include indoor and outdoor pools and convenient exterior access, but guests also report no elevator, occasional pool or hot tub problems, and some aging or faulty exterior door locks. The location is convenient just off the interstate and near a museum and walking paths, though a truck stop, limited dining nearby, and proximity to a correctional facility are noted by some. Overall, it suits road-trip stopovers and families more than those seeking a modern, polished hotel.

Great service in a very nicely-maintained building, with an excellent breakfast. Add to that a spacious room with a separate door directly to the outside (VERY much appreciated with our dog) and you have the perfect stop for us on our cross-country trip. We were able to park just a few feet outside that door which made unloading of our three suitcases and cooler a breeze. And the large adjacent green space with dog waste receptacle was a real bonus.

The exterior doors that were supposed to be key operated, didnt work. One had nothing that kept it locked. There was no release bar, so it was always unlocked. This is in an area where road signs say not to pick up hitchhikers due to a prison nearby. The sink drain drained really slow. The room had an unpleasant odor.

We booked thru hotels.com and had ask for 2 simple accommodations, i didn’t expect all 3 to be meet but was a bit surprised there was an excuse for why not a single one was met. Weasked for any of these if possiable for various medical issues,1- a joining rooms with other family( they could only get us same floor)2-bottom floor ( no,one room only left on bottom floor 3- no outside patio door( couldn’t do that either) so we ended up with an upstairs room,no patio,a downstairs room with patio,with a handicapped traveler it spoiled most of the fun.The pool was awful no clorine and reeked! We still can't get the smell out ofour clothes and had to shampoo hair 3x to 4x before it went away.The breakfast was great,staff was friendly and rooms were large and clean.would stay again next travel but would like to at least feel like they tried to meet our accommodations:( Oh i was also charged twice for my rooms but the hotel staff was able to fix that right away.

Registration knew I was disabled with a service dog but did not tell me I had to go up flights of stairs due to no elevator. Bed had plastic encasement and sheet would not stay on so we were sleeping on plastic. NOT GOOD. Also, the only option on TV was Direct TV. Remote barely worked and TV froze up when it rained.

There was no elevator which we then had to lug a lot pf things up the stairs. The door didnt quite catch so it wouldnt lock when we left. The pool was quite small. Those are just nit picky things but it was an overall good stay. I just hated stairs after such a long drive.

Chose this hotel because it has excellent reviews. Don’t know why. Our room entry door was propped open when we arrived. Room was covered in mosquitos/bugs. Room was not updated like photos showed. Desk staff was friendly but only offered to spray room down with bug spray.. Daughter cried for an hour and ended up sleeping on cot as she refused to sleep in the bed. Disappointing to pay $180 to breathe bug spray and leave early.

While it is clear this hotel is needing updates and the hallway of our room smelled musty, we decided to settle in and enjoy the concert we visited for. However, after the rain we noticed the carpets were wet, as were the ends of the drapes, and the musty moldy smell was now far worse and more than we could tolerate. The night auditor was kind and moved us to the only other open room on the second floor after confirming with her manager that they KNEW of a leak "in a room in that 1st floor area that maintenance dried the carpets from earlier". Im not convinced we weren'tjust placed in a wet room knowingly! The new room did smell much better but had dirty floors with visible crumbs, and a sink that barely drained, alongside one bed that was insanely firm and the other, softer bed, had a big dip in the middle. It was a disappointing experience to say the least, especially with the cost of the single night. We did ask for and receive a late checkout to enjoy the pool a bit, snd breakfast was fine. Staff was nice, but the hotel and cleaning needs some true work for this to be worth the stay. Finally, it's good to know there arent taxis or ride sharing apps in Sterling, so if you pregame and dont have a designated driver, you're walking.

This was one of the worst places we have every stayed. Room 118 had a bad smell, no body wash in the dispenser and the tv remote was worn out. We couldn't control the power or volume. We had to do it directly on the tv. The beds were absolutely horrible. My husband laid in his bed and he sunk! He looked like he was in a taco! He tried to fill in the hole with the extra pillows, but that didn't work. He ended up sleeping in my bed which also had the "v" problem and I had to have a leg or arm wrapped over the side to hold me up or I would roll down the hill. I hope all the rooms aren't this bad.

The room smelled a little when we first came in. The shower was easy to get to but we had water all over the floor because shower curtain came out to far. So it ended up being more difficult and dangerous because of the water on the floor and we had to clean it up. Plus it was loud we kept hearing people upstairs and a door opening and closing. Also a loud fridge.

You didn't notice it until tv was off and quiet. Terrible, i do not believe that this is the 1st complaint. Body wash empty along with 4 kleenex and no spares. Never, ever again. All money should be refunded

Great staff were frosting on the cake, wherever and however we were in contact with them. Our morning breakfast gal was especially a delight. She took as much care with maintaining the well supplied breakfast bar, as she did in her appearance...which was fabulous! Lots of smiles and positive attitude! Started our day likewise!!
