Best Western Colorado River Inn

This is considered one of the better places to stay in Needles, California. The hotel is in good shape and it is clean. There is an outside pool which I did not swim in because it was cold and windy that day. Best Western Corporate sent a general contractor from Orange County, California to remodel their lobby area and it looked fantastic. Now if they would only do the same for the rooms where guest experience really counts. I stayed here for one night in November 2019 and I think I was in room 201, an upstairs room near the lobby area and facing the Giggling Cactus which is a restaurant that Best Western next door (fairly good and filling food there). This room was a good size and it had a king bed and a bathroom with a tub and a toilet. Your sink is just outside of the bathroom. Everything was clean and orderly. Great job to the cleaning crew. WHY THEN WAS IT ONE OF MY WORST NIGHT SLEEP EVER? For one, the air conditioner was so loud and it wee wee and rumble all night when you turn it on. Why do I have to turn it on, you ask? It is because there is no way to get fresh air while the window and door are closed. You turn it on to circulate the still air inside the room. If you open the window, it is not safe to sleep with your window open and also it so loud because the freeway seems like it was just a few hundred feet away. After one night in this room with no fresh air, my lungs felt heavy and I was slightly coughing stuff the next morning. Double pane windows with great insulation would take care of the noise. And a system to pull in fresh air without having to open the window and door is an absolute must. less

First the name is miss leading. It is nowhere close to the River. The train tracks a pretty close and change tracks late into the night. The grounds were very nicely done. I like the resturant door the Giggling Cactus. less

I marveled at the gracious manner in which the woman at the registration desk welcomed me and took care of details so efficiently. Additionally, my room was clean and the bed comfy. It felt like an oasis after a long day of travel. less

There is not much in needles, but it was the most convenient stop over on my road trip to Arizona. This hotel was so nice. It was super clean, the room was so comfortable and this hotel is multi pet friendly. The part that i loved most about this hotel is they actually have an enclosed pet area and that area is kept clean. I know there are a lot of pet friendly hotels out there but not many of them have places that pets can use! This was the exception and I will 100% recommend them and 100% be back the next time I head to Arizona. less

Comfortable and well appointed room (good lighting), friendly desk staff, good restaurant next door. Good WiFi. Close to I-40. Older property, but well maintained and updated. What else could you ask for? less
