What guests think

Across many reviews, Best Western Americana Inn earns praise for friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, plentiful parking, and a convenient location near the border, while feedback often highlights a satisfying hot breakfast and family-friendly pool.

However, several guests report stained carpets or odd smells in some rooms, and parts of the property feel dated. A few note after-hours check-in at a window, no elevator to upper floors, occasional noise, and intermittent Wi-Fi. Overall, expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stay that works well for border travel and short visits.

Hotel room was reserved for 1 night. Just needed a place to drop off our stuff and cross to Tijuana. Check-in took less than 2 minutes, staff was friendly. Room was in perfect condition. Clean and comfortable beds. Pillos were great. Since the hotel wasn't sold out, they allowed us to choose Between upstairs or downstairs rooms. Parking in front of you room is great. There's a Carl's Jr and McDonald's walking distance. Freeway is a Block away. Less than 10 mins from the Border. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back.

Thankfully it was a slow day, because it was nice and quiet. Overall it was good, but the room needs some TLC. Horribly stained carpets, ripped furniture, and hair on a towel. Thankfully it was just for a night's rest, on my road trip to see a friend.

Internet for my room was very unreliable. I kept losing my internet Signal intermittently when in the room. Consequently, my WiFi connectivity was equally unreliable. Neither phone nor tablet would maintain connectivity. I had no issue reliably connecting to internet service at any other location that offered it.

The room smelled like marijuana. I don’t blame the management and I hope those that violate policy get fined. I occasionally smoke cigars but I would not disrespect a business. In the morning you could hear all the traffic in and around the room. I did not need an alarm because of the noise. Another major issue was the WiFi. it was horrible. The WiFi would cutout. I was told by the staff that they were aware of the issue and we’d trying to fix the problem but it was never resolved while we stay there for the tree days. However, the staff were very polite and helpful. Overall, it’s not a bad place to stay, but not worth the price. I would have expected more quality for that price.

The check in process was a little bit unwelcoming, due that we were attended outside the reception and the weather was a little bit cold; I need to mention that we got to the hotel about 10:30 in the night and understand that due to security issues, the reception was secured and closed, but I think the personnel could have let us in once they confirmed we were guests with a reservation. The room did not smell quite clean (did not smell bad either) but smelled anyhow and the faucet drainage was clogged.

The person who checked us in was terribly slow. It was after midnight when we arrived after a flight from Mexico City. We pulled in front of the after hours window and I got out to check in. The employee was in full sight of the window so I know he could see us. I rang the bell 3 times with no reaction. I had to pound on the thick plexiglass to get his attention. It took him a good 10 minutes to check us in. We had traveling companions check in right after us. We had room 213. They were in another building on the ground floor. I can believe there were two rooms in closer proximity . Our check in on 10/18 was smooth and seamless. The employee who checked us in needs more training or another job. By the time he checked us all in there were 3 more people waiting to check in. At 1am? Unacceptable.

It's basically all in the name of the property: a middle of the road Best Western. We arrived at 10pm and there was a pretty long line as everyone was checking in for a volunteer trip to Mexico with a group of High School students, so an expected event. There was one overwhelmed, relatively unfriendly young woman at the check in desk who vaguely pointed to where we needed to go once we had our keys. Other than that the rooms were serviceable and okay.

Room was basic and fine. Left an expensive electric toothbrush and was told to reach the manager to have it sent to me. Every time I called “the manager” was busy or not there. I continued to call and was told I couldn’t be heard and was sent to a non operational phone. Then when I called back, I’m sure they could see my number, they didn’t pick up at all. Hope someone is enjoying my toothbrush or you got a good price for it!

Excellent facility, amazing service. Only quirk was that something was lost between Hotels.com and the hotel reservation system. I'd reserved and paid for non-refundable rooms for our party of 12 people. When I called the property 3hrs prior to check-in, they were holding only one room for us. Fortunately, there was a lot of room vacancy that night so it turned out well, but it would have been horrible otherwise. Then the property charged us an additional one night fee, even though I'd already paid through the Hotels.com website. I had to do a little legwork upon our return to get that charge dismissed, and the manager (Meressa?) was very good to work with. Overall, an excellent hotel experience - comfy bed, great breakfast, beautiful property. There were only three bath towels in each room, and when i called for more towels the manager showed up with a big stack of clean towels within 5min - wow! We will absolutely be staying here again!!
