Best Western Colorado River Inn

Nice hotel with beautiful grounds and excellent service. Loved the restaurant next door - Giggling Cactus - which had great service and good food. Beds were comfortable and room very clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. less

A nice place to stay for snowbirds,pet-friendly,we like to be able to park right by the door for an overnight stay,nice breakfast next door.We didn't go to the pool but it is nicely landscaped and lighted. less

We recently stayed here for 2 nights while we were exploring the Mojave Preserve. Check-in was easy. Room was comfortable and relatively quiet. (we didn't hear much in the way of neighbors or people outside- however, if you are on the "back" of the building you will hear trains going by. If you're a light sleeper, you may want earplugs or a sound machine) We loved the pool, spa, and sauna. Such a pleasant area. The lobby giftshop was handy- I actually bought a bathing suit there to enjoy the waters. Breakfast at the restaurant next door was easy and good. Better than most hotel buffets. Overall, a pleasant stay. Note: the hotel is not actually on the Colorado River, nor can you see it from the hotel. Just FYI. less

Comfortable room; good mattresses and pillows. Bathroom recently redone with new comfort height toilet. Bonus included in the price: Hearty breakfast (2 eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, toast and coffee or tea or juice) (or other options like oatmeal, etc) right next door at the Giggling Cactus, where service was friendly and prompt. less

We were traveling from central valley, CA to New Mexico and decided to stop in Needles, CA after a 7.5 hour drive on our first day. We didn't make any reservation online because we weren't sure when and where we were going to stop even though we considered to stop at Best Western at Needles, CA. Of course we did end up staying here and it turned out to be a bit pricier than I expected. It was $10-$15 more than I expected (even with the pet fee of $15) based on third-party booking websites shown on google maps. Now for the pros and cons.... Pros: 1) Great, friendly front desk staff and smooth check-in and check-out service 2) No restaurant or even breakfast inside hotel; however restaurant serving all 3 meals within walking distance (Giggling Cactus). You get complimentary breakfast there and 10% off dinner. 3) Clean, spacious rooms. 4) Conveniently located near I-40, easy access. 5) Fenced-in pet relief area where your furry friend can be off-leash with poop bags. 6) I love that the soap/shampoo/conditioner/lotion came out of the dispenser instead of those annoying small plastic bottles, which are easier to use (well should be-look at cons) and are more environmental-friendly Cons: 1) Not in a great area in terms of noise (near a trucker stop) and walls are thin 2) Our room had a weird smell when we walked in 3) If you want a complimentary breakfast, you are limited to 4 options...so no buffet style breakfast. Other options on their menu are 20% off for breakfast but looked alot more enticing 4) The dispenser was harder to use than it looked, esp for the soap. I would have to push several times to get the body wash out and when it came out, very little was dispensed at once. 5) Speaking of environmental friendly, no recycling cans. 6) Tiny bathroom (more so according to my bf) less
