Had an unexpected medical emergency my father whom I caregive for went into an unexpected surgery. We couldn’t make our check in the next day. Due to needing to be at the hospital. I called the day we went to the ER which was the day before check in. Asked if we could get a partial refund or a refund since this is an emergency. We had to cancel our entire plans and stay the whole weekend. Expedia tried to help but Best western refused to help or give a refund in anyway knowing we would not make it. So we were charged $267. For one night. I do not recommend working or purchasing a room from such heartless money grubbing organization

Hello sir,We are very sorry that your father had to undergo an unexpected surgery. We hope he is now well and in good health.We really wish that unfortunate event did not happen and that you could have enjoyed your stay with us.We continue to await proof of your emergency so that we can consider any concessions. We encourage all travelers to book the refundable rate or acquire travel insurance. You booked your reservation through Expedia.

Perhaps this is an LA or CA thing, but the shower head was designed for submarines -- i.e., almost no flow. Other than that, everything worked and the room was quiet and comfortable.

Thank you, Robert for the perfect score and submitting your comments. Water buildup residue could have cause the low flow on the shower but we are check every shower head regularly. We'll check them again. Thank you again for letting us know and we hope to see you again.

Everything was great except for the parking. It's already a challenge to get in and out, I would suggest to block off anyone being able to park in the first 3 stalls to make maneuvering a bit easier trying to get out of there. I can't believe the magic my husband had to do to get us out of there and we STILL hit the roof and the side walls. Other than that, staff was really nice and accommodating helping me print something important upon checking in. I'd definitely stay again, I just wouldn't park there 😳

The hotel was good itself the only bad thing to note about the property is the underground parking is limited and it's really tight, but if you know how to drive in tight spaces you'll be fine and another one is the ac unit, I'm not saying it doesn't work but it's positioned in an area where it doesn't really flow thru the room, especially in the area where the couch is at I don't know if it was just that room itself but it gets the job done eventually but other than those two the room was fine the amenities where good breakfast was amazing and overall it was a good stay

We were very disappointed in the room. It was very tiny. The bathroom was ridiculously small. I didn’t feel that anything was really clean and I would not even hang my clothes in the closet. I am very sorry, but this is not our type of place. We left within the hour.

We thoroughly inspect all guest rooms before we rent them. We also just shampooed the carpet where you were supposed to stay. We understand that you prefer not to stay and we decided not to penalize you for a night and yet we still got this score? Thank you anyway.

First, let me thank you for staying with us and submitting your score although we could be happier if it's a high score. Based on my investigation here, we charged Expedia and not your credit card. As a matter of fact, my staff tried to charge you for the 11.00 parking fee only but your card was declined. Should there be any authorization on your card by accident, rest assure that it'll drop in a few days and promise you that you were not charged twice. We hope to see you again.

Definitely needs updated. Worst thing was sitting on the toilet and repeatedly smashing my elbow on the toilet paper holder and my knee on the other side kept hitting the vanity. I paid $11 to be able to park my car in basically an alley way where I had to worry about my car being hit by another car parking because the spots are to small and at very odd angles. Oh and the 80s carpet everywhere was a very nice touch. I assure i will never be staying here again.

Extremely low water pressure in the shower (which we understand given California drought regardless of good rain this year). Water temperature was hard to adjust with extremes of hot/cold. I think this is an easy fix. We had to do it in our own home. Room 311.
