Try another hotel first
Pros:

Feb 3 in, check out Feb 4, As a frequent traveler who because of unavailability all too often has to stay in properties that are described as being upper level properties. In my opinion this property should be called the LEAST BEST Best Western. On a trip south and after driving for close to 6 hours I thought staying in Ridgecrest Ca would be a great stop over with then only needing three more hours the next day to get to my destination. Unfortunately at the time of booking the other "Major Brands" i.e Hampton Inns, Holiday Inn Express, Springhill suites, were all booked which didn't leave much choice for a comfortable overnight stay. However per other "POSITIVE" reviews this property came up as to what appeared to be a reasonably nice property. The only 2 nice things that I can say about this property was who was on the desk when I came in was very friendly, cordial and easy to deal with. The other positive was the decent breakfast that was available to guests. Other than that it was a total disaster. First the room was ok but nothing special or outstanding but to access the bathroom there was one door that worked to either close off the bedroom or when oopened from the bedroom served as a semi private door to the toilet area. There was no permanent door that separated toilet from the rest of the bath area. One sink in a cramped space. When the heater went on (which it did frequently and no heat in the bathroom) it was so loud it woke me and my wife up. Oh and that didn't account for heaters that were in neighboring rooms as we also heard those too. That then opens up the "Pandora's Box" We were on the first level and heard every noise from the rooms next to us and above us. The blanket was so thin you could almost see through it and there were no extra blankets in the closet. At 6:00 AM people were already banging stuff on the outside that added to the misery of not being able to sleep. My poor iwatch went crazy as it kept telling me it was time to go to sleep when I thought I was. Even though I paid for this room with CC points I'm convinced stayin at the Red Roof Inn would have been a better choice or for that matter my car would have been more comfortable and certainly wouldn't have been disturbed with all of the outside sounds that kept us awake.
