I stayed here for 2 nights, during the week, solo, one room on the bottom floor and it was perfect! Clean hotel and room, comfy bed and fluffy pillows! Smart TVs! Microwave and refrigerator in the room, big plus ! Good coffee! Nice little gym! Staff were nice, pleasant and friendly! Overall I enjoyed my visit, and I will definitely be back when I have to work out there again! Thank for the pleasant stay!
I stayed at the Best Western in Ridgecrest for my granddaughter’s birthday and was genuinely impressed. The hotel was spotless, floors, room, everything! I’ve worked in hotels for over 35 years, and this property is easily one of the best I’ve stayed at. The room was updated, comfortable, and super clean. I didn't make it to the gym yet. Breakfast was good and ample. Great water pressure in the shower. Big shout-out to Alma at the front desk, she was fantastic and even let me check in early. Excellent stay overall, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town
Awesome inexpensive rooms, very clean and well kept . Hotel has a pool and jacuzzi.
The worker in the front. I believe his name started with a J. Was a genuinely good man and was very helpful. We wish him nothing but the best in life.
Great experience at this location. Front desk staff waa very helpful and was able to accommodate us with early checkin for an added fee. Theyre great level of service made a big difference especially when traveling with a baby.
The room was well equipped and exceptionally clean. Everything was in very good condition. It's a little noisy with traffic, but being military, I've slept through worse. The provide ear plugs, so no complaints about noise if you use them. It isn't the Ritz, but for a road weary traveler, it works.
Great location with comfortable bed and pillows. The free breakfast was excellent with eggs, bacon, ham, biscuits and gravy. Water pressure was phenomenal. Will stay here again!
Angelina the lady who works making food in the morning is amazing. she works Tuesday -Saturday. She is thee friendliest and nicest person you wanna see in the morning. I’m not a morning person but she made me bring a smile to my face. And her food was perfect. Didn’t need salt or anything. She made country scrambled eggs with veggies in it. Bacon and biscuits and gravy. They had cinnamon roll waffles and regular waffles. Cereal, yogurt with berries and granola. Toast and bagels. Coffee, juices …….you name it. That food there was better than some of the restaurants I’ve eaten at out here. And I’m from Nevada. So it was nice to travel far away and have a good meal with someone sooo friendly.
