Best Western Country Inn

Had a chance to finally fit in a few days of fun with the family in Fortuna before everyone went back to work school etc., so decided to pop up to old Eureka area from Santa Rosa to check it out a bit, as we had a blast visiting the past summer. Found this Hotel, at a good rate, with very nice indoor/outdoor heated pool for my son and his friend to goof around in, and lots of stuff nearby to do. Room we got had two rooms, one with a Queen and small TV, the other with the King, a table, a bigger tv, with actual door that closed, but no couch of recliner. Put the boys into the back room, we kept the front, worked out well, and was much less than renting two rooms, and I am a cheap ass. When we entered the what appeared to be a very clean room, the smell of the cleaning products was overwhelming! Had to open all the windows and crack the door, and even after 2 days, it was still be stenchy. You get used to it, worst was coming back after being gone. They need to stop using such stinky product, that is for sure. Other room bother was you could not set the wall ventilation unit to just leave the fan ON.. even though it had positions for On/Off/Auto, the On didn't keep it on.. so to keep air moving in the room we would have to flip it back and forth on the temperature, which was annoying. Quibbles I had were that they had NO FOOD on a Friday morning at 915AM on a non crowded day, took 20 minutes to get food back out, and all I can think is that they lost track, or didn't watch, because it wasn't one thing out, it was most all the hot food. Once they stocked it, was tasty if limited breakfast buffet, with waffle, scrambled eggs, potatoes, biscuits, gravy, etc. on top of cereal, etc. And only other quibble was an anemic weak ass piddly little shower,.. if you set it on massage, it dribbled out! And on needle spray, more like rapid drips. Sad. Bed was soft, but supportive, like it was soft due to a topper vs a mushy mattress. less

One of the best hotel experiences that we have ever had. The front desk people were proficient and friendly. The Breakfast was the BEST we have ever had at any hotel including high-end ones like Marriott and Hilton. Really clean and comfortable rooms/bed. Nice laundry. less

Look, we're rating a Best Western here, not the Ritz... and for that it gets 5***** It's clean safe and good location. Check-in was easy and they (mostly) accommodated my very early check-in (thank you). Beds were comfortable, the towels on the plusher side and the shower worked well. If next I'm in the area I will stay here again. less

Stayed here overnight during a trip to the Redwoods. Nice quiet hotel right off the freeway. Recently renovated, so everything felt "new." Staff was very friendly and accommodated our request for a first floor room with no one above us. Would not hesitate to stay here again. less

Was treated horrible by staff member. Accused of speeding in parking lot. Up to this point never had an issue with this hotel and would stay here on trips to this area. Never again will I use this hotel. less
