Categories

Cleanliness
8
Multiple guests praised spotless bathrooms and generally clean rooms, though several noted issues: the front entrance and glass need deep cleaning, a room smelled strongly of bleach, and one guest reported a damp bed from humidity.
Service
8.1
Staff were described as good and friendly and some guests praised front-desk helpfulness; however, there were service failures around billing/booking resolution (double charges, lack of receipts) and one attendant juggling desk and breakfast led to delays.
Location
8.9
Location was repeatedly called great and conveniently off the freeway with good views, though signage and the hotel entrance were reported as hard to find at first.
Room Quality
7.9
Beds and towels were frequently praised (comfortable beds, plenty of towels), but problems included thin walls, humidity causing a damp bed for one guest, reports of ants, and occasional strong cleaning-chemical odor.
Amenities
8.3
Breakfast offerings and a 24-hour gym and large breakfast area were positives; amenities issues included a broken ice machine on the second floor and occasional lack of toiletries or bath towels in a room.
Value for Money
6.6
Several guests reported being overcharged (double charges, unexpected higher rates) and frustration with booking.com/confirmation problems, which lowered perceived value despite reasonable base pricing.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast was repeatedly praised as 'great' by multiple guests; a single service timing issue left hot plates empty briefly, but overall food/ breakfast quality was a strong positive.
Overall Experience
8
Many guests said they would stay again and noted a clean, comfortable stay with good location and breakfast; however, significant negatives (billing errors, some room/entrance maintenance issues) tempered the overall impression.

Can't afford to be double charged!
Pros:

The location was great, staff good, breakfast good.

Cons:

I was double charged...once through booking.com and by the actual hotel. I called the hotel and told them what had happened and they said I had to go through booking. com but they would send a receipt. Never received it. Filled out form through booking. com and nothing ever came from it. So no I'm not happy I got charged an extra $200.00 + !

Comfortable and restful. Thank you!
Pros:

The floor was without carpets which always is cleaner with or without a pet. We were placed at the end of the hallway just steps from the side door. It was easier to walk the dog and to load and unload our car. The beds were super comfortable with tons of pillows and tons of towels in the spotless bathroom.

Cons:

The breakfast. The young man responsible for getting out the hot food was also covering the front desk. At 6:45 two of the hot plates were empty and we had to leave before he could fill them again.

Rooms were clean. The walls thin.!!! and I slept in a damp bed because of the humidity for two days
Cons:

Booking. Com booked for the wrong days!! It was sept 4-5 !!! Right during the biggest Amish flee market. So they thought o was supposed to to be here the day before!! Charged my credit card. On top of that. Room rates were 50.00 more and they would not fix it!! I made that reservation months ahead of time. Then called the Clare best western a few days later to confirm. They said yes. Them I called about a week before to confirm and actually gave them the day and they said yes. We have your room dates confirmed. This was horrible. And paying more was terrible. I booked so far in advance so that I could get a better rate. I booked with “booking.com “with confidence that I would get a better rate. This unplanned extra $50. I could’ve stayed somewhere else cheaper. This made it very disappointing, and I am not happy with booking.com. I do not think I will ever use it again because of this.what was more important is that twice when I called to confirm, they never said “ this is not the days we have”. You booked for. Very frustrating.

The property is actually well cared for, it just needs professional landscape maintenance and a serious deep clean on th
Pros:

Conveniently located off the freeway. After entering the dirty front entrance I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the place. Please deep clean the front entrance and I believe it will make the first impression much better. Clean up the shrubbery around the front and add a bench so those smokers don’t have to flick their butts onto the asphalt. The property is actually quite nice, it just needs some spit shine out front!

Cons:

Signage on the street is difficult to find at first glance. The front entrance of sliding glass doors really needs a deep clean. The glass was foggy as I walked in the front door so my initial impression was not good. The brown aluminum frames need serious soap and water.

Probably will stay again, but I like hotels/motels with a pool.
Pros:

The price and location

Cons:

Had no bath towels, had no shampoo. And ants were coming out of a hole between the lower shower tiles. I ask d for an elder room with walk in shower and safety handles, that I didn’t get. But overall it could have been worse.
