Best Western Porterville Inn

Awesome team friendliness and clean environment. Breakfast is great food is hot and plenty to go around.the rooms are comfortable very spacious and comfortable. The area is Not bad it's a nice place to stay if your looking for privacy comfortable atmosphere..

I was first given a filthy room, the bathtub looked like someone had washed off their gardening equipment in it. When I went to the front desk with phone in hand displaying a photo of the tub and telling the woman at the front desk that this doesn't even reflect the odor, she didn't bat an eye, she said "I'm sorry about that, I can get you another room". It would appear this happens all the time. The 2nd room was cleaner, but the towels were stained and dirty, and I had to request new ones. The bath looked like they painted the tub and there were cracks and water stains on the walls. The toilet would not flush, and we had to request a plunger. The only reason we didn't leave was that there wasn't a hotel available within a half hour's drive from a trade show I was there to attend and the sheets were clean, mattress was comfortable but, I am guessing this was a one off, and we just lucked out in that regard. Oh, and two of my rims were stolen in the hotel parking lot. This hotel is an example of an owner and manager who just don't care. Avoid it if you can.

Very clean room, with enough hand rails in bathroom plus to step over tub edge to shower. A nice Denny's restaurant on the back side of the hotel, so you don't have to leave the major parking area. There is a $30 charge for pet, plus a $250 deposit.

it is always great to stay there when i have to go to my new cell tower we are building there. i have certain needs that i need met. i have a spinal injury and i cannot walk far at all. you always make sure i have a room close to an exit and parking at the nearest door. i have stayed here a couple of times before and i like it alot because you cater to my needs, dont know much more to say, it's' nice and i appreciate its clean and peaceful and the people are nice and the coffee's not half bad either...thanks Oh one more thing, i feel that if call direct you will get a better choice in room and a better rate than all those wierd cheap hotel offers online...

In the bathroom the toilet is very low and not ADA accessible. The shower stool had a foot pad missing and a leg was bent. It was very dangerous and unusable. Both chair lifts for the pool and the spa were broken during our stay.

I would give this a five star, but there was one thing that was not there for overall excellence room was very clean bed was comfortable, but breakfast was a two at best fruit for overall taste and quality

Near a variety of places to eat. Check out the history museum, farm lands. Small population but friendly people. Good produce. Very quiet city with affordable housing and schools. Off Highway 99 with beautiful mountains in the background.

The issue is it's verry expensive , on a Thursday it's $154 and on a Friday it's $174 The Holiday Inn Express is right next door and has better rooms and just as good of a breakfast and is $50 cheaper for my rate and the room price does not change day to day.

This hotel was very clean, neat, and taken care of. The breakfast was nice and the bed was comfortable. This is the perfect place to stay. I would recommend this to any traveler. You won't regret this location.

Good location to stay before visiting the mountains. We had a little problem using the GPS to find the location as the property sits off of the main street. I felt that the property was safe and secure. The stay was quiet so we slept well.

I came in on my day off to help a local Veteran who was recently displaced from his home book a room because the VA could only leave them in a hotel for 21 days then they had to leave for 3 days. He literally had nowhere oto go and a service dog so I wanted to help him get a room. Until his money came in.. The front desk girl did not know what she was doing so she called another clerk to.help her. He said i COULD NOT PAY i would have to come back the next day (I could not i had to work)) so she gave me back my credit card and e left. Tuesday I get a call i.missed my booking to call hi. back. I told him.whst happened and he said he would refund my card. Then he called his manager and called me back and basically said tough I didn't have to sign for the credit card. I needed to come in and talk to the clerk who charged me. I disputed the fraudulent charge with my credit card company and they only credited me $187 of the $377 they charged my card. Dishonest hotel staff and manager.

I cancelled eight days before my reservation date and my credit card was still billed. I called the hotel and they were not helpful. The gentleman I spoke to seemed disinterested and dismissive. I have not heard back from them and have had to dispute the charge with my credit card company.

This is one of the best and safest place to stay in Porterville. It's clean and the staff is friendly. Breakfast is great. If you are lucky you might run into a celebrity. There is plenty of restaurants in this area along with a grocery store. The hospital is down the street. The giant sequoias are an hour and a half away in Balch Park. The lake is up the street off the 190. Everything you need is right there.

We had a wonderful stay here for 2 nights on our way to/from Sequoia National Park. The room was immaculate & staff extremely helpful! The rest of our party arrived early the morning after our arrival, and the staff rushed to clean a room so that they could check in early. Thank you to the staff!! The pool & hot tub are in the inner courtyard and were a welcome relaxation after our travels! The air was fragrant with the orange blossoms from the surrounding orange fields - great place to stay!. Great Mexican food a short walk away at Maximo's!

This was our first time staying overnight at the Best Western. We were in town for a family gathering so our stay was short. Our rooms were very spacious and clean. I was very thrilled to see the room was equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. I rarely find this in rooms nowadays so these amenities were a nice touch. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and professional. Will definitely book again when back in town.

Hotel was clean and newly renovated. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was good. I especially enjoyed their beds. Ample amounts of parking outside and there is also a food plaza across the street with many food options. Great experience.

very clean and nice place to stay with family and kids good breakfast. good staff members( Jada was our favorite person) every other staff members was very nice also. outside parking a lot is very safe we had zero issue with vehicle in parking spaces plenty of space available always.

We had to come to town for a family funeral and needed a hotel early as the funeral service was at noon. We had 2 hotels to choose from and we made the right choice as they were wonderful and found us a very nice room right away so we were able to get to the service on time. They were all very nice and the room was clean and comfortable.

Wrongly accused my family and i of smoking in the room so they could keep the deposit. Offered a free night after discriminating behavior toward my niece who suffers from a severe mental illness and then renigging their offer less than an hour later and accusing us of smoking and then making us leave and keeping my deposit wrongfully before even checking the room. Then owner and housekeeping refused to come to front desk and diacuss this with me.

The room was comfortable and roomy. The bed was just what we like to sleep on. The breakfast had many choices and included hot food and cereal choices. We always enjoy our stays when we are traveling.

We we're given the wrong room key and walked into another persons room. No apologies from the owner and after requesting a refund he laughs at the situation and says he's putting us on a list that doesn't allow us to ever stay at their hotel again. He will not even offer to notify the guests we walked in on to offer them a refund unless they reach out to the hotel directly. They don't care about the safety of their guests. We don't feel we did anything wrong to never allow us to stay at their hotel again only because we requested a refund. Even after explaining that we didn't feel safe he said it didn't matter because nothing bad happened to anyone. If you stayed in room 209 on Nov 20, 2021 please call to get your refund.

Once in our room, the television did not work, the outlets in the bathroom did not work and the clock did not work along with the microwave and toilet paper holder. I called the front desk and they said they would send someone to fix the problems which they were not able to fix. We were going to a party at 5:00 told the owner Jasvir (sp?) would come to talk about possibly giving us a discount due to the problems we were having. He arrived minutes before we were to leave for our party & would not provide a discount on the room that was missing so many amenities but said he would move us to another room! We were leaving at that moment and did not want or have time to pack up everything that we had just unpacked and move to another room only to have to pack up again in the morning as we were leaving the next day. He argued about giving us a discount and then said that he would give me a discount AFTER I left a good review??????? ....I told him i would give him a good review after the discount and he refused!!! This is the worst customer service ever by an owner!!! The girl at the front desk, Frances, was more than accommodating and very helpful and kind but she couldn't do anything about the adjustment, etc. Again, Jasvir wanted a good review before credit given! (bribe?) Who wants a room without a TV or those other amenities!!!! When I checked out, wanted to see if there would be an adjustment due to the amenities in our room that did not work, but again Jasvir wanted a good review before he would give me a discount!!!!......I'm not going to lie in a review as he did not fix the problems and would not say he did! Worst customer service by an owner, ever! Frances, the receptionist (?) at the front desk was wonderful! Will seriously ever consider referring or returning to the Best Western, or Jasvir is in charge! Very disappointed. Decided to forgo the discount as not worth anymore of my time and to leave a true and accurate review of our stay at Best Western in Porterville!

If you don't like a ac, friendly staff, clean rooms, or even a shower curtain this is your place to stay! Very unhappy with this hotel and can't believe its under the best western brand. Never going back!!

This is a nice hotel, air conditioning is VERY loud in the room and because of the 100 degree heat outside no option but to run all night. Hotel is clean and upgraded, breakfast was grab and go. Area was close to Main Street.

Rooms are not ready to check in. Little girls were cleaning the rooms they were playing around. The pool was green .the rooms had a bed smell. Front desk employees were not friendly or helpful. Trash in the entrance

We got there on a very hot day excited to use the pool. The pool was broken and had been for awhile. It was green and gross. The front desk was super rude about it and wouldn't give me a discount on the rooms. There were dirty wash rags (used) in our shower. Then the front desk ran my card twice, making my bank locking my card. I'm from MN and was traveling so that was very scary for me. It was awful, never again.

Over 25 traveling friends spent one night here on 6/5. Several bedrooms had hair, dirt and/or dried toothpaste in the bathroom. It was well over 100 degrees and NO POOL/JACUZZI WAS ACCESSIBLE! The drinks machine was not working and no store in the immediate area. At a 100 degrees and no shades, walking 2-3 blocks was not an option. The lobby is about 10 feet from reception and we couldn't meet there: management made sure to let about 6 of us know that we needed to lower our voice but was unable to give us options. We asked for a conference room like area, and he told us it wasn't available either. We had to move outdoor tables and chairs under the trees without any help from the hotel. Did we get a discount for included amenities not been available!!! NO. Next day, there were many furniture boxes on both sides of the entrance door. It seems they will be remodeling. Good luck to those behind us, but I will never stay here again. More than guests, we felt like unwanted visitors.

Management was EXTREMLY RUDE at the from desk. The service front desk staff was extremely embraced by the managers tone and work ethics. I am elderly and handicap, my family drove me 4hrs to be there for my family and to be treated in that manner was un called for.

Room was not ready I was asked to come back in an hour it was 6pm so when I returned 2hrs later they were just coming out of our room from getting it ready. Very disappointing. I was charged for item that I should not of been charged for. Manager never returned my calls , I left several messages. Boxes and furniture and stuff all over the outside of the building, front and back. Very very unhappy. The owner did call me, all he kept saying was “I am not giving you a free night “!! I never asked for a free night, I just wanted to tell them how unhappy I was and hopefully the information would help them to improve their services. This place just gets worse every time we stay here. We will no longer be staying at the Porterville Best Western Hotel!!

Staff should masks when interacting with guests. Staff should wear masks when cleaning and turning over rooms. The lack of respect is evident, signs up saying masks required to enter and then staff wears none. This same level of respect is seen in the service and in the cleaning. During check in felt ignored and then when he chose to acknowledge us standing, asked us if we were a part of a prior party... Which was also sitting waiting for their keys, while he was training a new hire how to do the check in process. Did not bother to show his new hire how to acknowledge and help waiting guests. Sat waiting around with them and had to ask if the keys were ready to take because the process seemed to be completed and us just being kept around to listen to his training. Yes our keys were ready and they were just making us wait. In the evening we regretfully had to go back to the counter to ask for different items, normal enough, extra towel and privacy door sign, but ourselves and two other guests who were trying to check in were left waiting and the staff wandering around trying to find each item. They wandered off to find the towels and sign for me and left the 3rd guest waiting behind. Not sure how long he had to wait afterwards. In terms of the lack of respect reaching into cleanliness/sanitation, there were noticeable stains on the curtains, towels, and around the sinks, even where the soap bars and other products are stocked, they stocked a wrapped bar of soap but left the stains/dirt from previous guests in open view. All these were noticed because during check in you initial that you will inspect your room, and if it is not brought to their attention it is you who caused it and not worth fixing.

I've certainly stayed in worse hotels; but for the price (NOT a deal), this was a shabby place. exposed cables in our room; cracked windows in the exterior doors, walkways not clean. had to ask for a wastebasket, as there wasn't one in our room.

As a gateway to the high country up Hwy 190 this is just an acceptable stay. Although it may have been a very nice hotel at one point, it has become quite well worn and quite dated. Elevators have worked for a few months now and a variety of other issues. Pretty popular with the working girls.

We have a big dog and it's hard to find places that will take her. BW is pet friendly and the room did not stink like pets. There is a big distribution center next door so lots of trucks but it was not noisy, unlike the Holiday Inn next to it. The girl at the front desk was not very friendly which is the only thing keeping this from being 5 stars. Also it's a little pricey for where it is. But it's consistent with others in the area.

First of all, our 3 pm check-in was delayed until 4:30 because the room was cleaned yet. Second: they don't have a credit card chip reader, and their credit card swipe machine misread our two cards, which alerted the banks as a fraudulent transaction. One of the cards was then cancelled. Fortunately our debit card worked. The new card was sent out, but because this is Thanksgiving weekend, we probably won't receive it until next week. Always nice when you're traveling. The cobwebs in the bathroom matched the mold, always a plus. Our usual favorite hotel next door was fully booked so we took a chance and stayed here. Never again.

I come back to my home town to see family & friends and when I stay at Best Western it is convenient and relaxing! The staff was very nice and they have a great pool, breakfast, & close to the highway.

The hotels not bad, But that's it. IT's not good or bad, The check it time was horrible I can't remember waiting like that except in Vegas, I was going to leave it took so long. The room was OK also nothing special a bit dated if anything. Overall I won't say they were bad but I will not go there again. The price does not equal what you get.

I love staying at Best Western properties because you know what to expect before you get there. Even while under construction this property was very accommodating and friendly. I did not get a chance to use the pool, but it looked very clean and inviting.

Stayed two nights in October 2019. Booked an accessible King bed room on the ground floor. It was spacious and I could maneuver my mobility scooter throughout the room and bathroom with ease. The bed was very comfortable. The area is quiet but near the highway for easy travel in and out near shopping and close to town. Check in and check out were quick and easy. There is a nice, clean 24 Hr DENNY's Restaurant at the rear of the Inn walking distance. It's new and some construction dust.

Easy check-in, elevator is being repaired and was offered choice of floor. Clean hotel, lobby and room. Lots of parking. Pool outside area looked very inviting but was to cold at the time that we stayed.

Beautifull setting, great full breakfast everymorning large variety of items, beautiful swimming pool ans hot jucuzzy very very soft comfortable bed and in room coffy refrigerator and microwave. Excellent parking

Easy check in and check out, however, make sure you do your research on the area because the girl at the front desk didn't know about anything around this hotel or even the small stretch between here and Sequoia National Park. Extremely disappointing. Breakfast was good. Great stop because it was easy on and off highway.

No elevator. I have physical issues and they balked at giving me a bottom floor. I had to walk the two flights of stairs with my heavy suitcases and a physical problem. No compensation for Corp ensured rate. The owner is cheap and wouldn't honor Corp emailed rate! Room smells. Didn't restock coffee, left old coffee in the pot, didn't vacuum, didn't empty trash. Food tastes extremely cheap and awful. Eating rancid sausage, rubber potatoes, and horrible eggs. Water for OJ. Terrible hotel.

I was visiting family. The lobby is welcoming and my room cool, clean and the bed soft. The temperature outside was in the triple digits! The outdoors were HOT and DRY, but Best Western was a lovely oasis, and what a lovely, cool nest to collapse in after a long evening.

Easy check in and check out. Lots of parking. Outdoor pool. Clean room, clean bathroom, comfortable bed. Breakfast had plenty of hot and cold items. It is a two-story hotel and the elevator is currently broken but I'm sure it will be fixed in due course. I would stay here again.

From the first experience with this property in booking the reservation I was impressed by the pleasantness exhibited by Sarah who took my reservation. Upon confirming and refining the booking before arrival at no point was I made to feel like the interaction was a distraction from other/more important things and there was an audible smile in the voice over the phone. Upon arrival, we were greeted and give excellent customer service and that excellence was exhibited through the duration of my stay.

At the current time, the elevators are being upgraded. Our room and common areas are nice. No Complaints. Breakfast was good. Made yourself waffles are always a good thing to me. Also scrambled eggs, potatoes, and a variety of juices and coffee available. So far so good. Only "point for perfection" is the in-room wifi is a pain. Ended up having to use my phone as a hotspot to get some work done. May simple be my room location.

Spring for the extra bucks and stay at the Holiday Inn Express. This Best Western was one of the worst that I've stayed at. I wasn't expecting luxury by any means, but it was an $80 hotel experience AT BEST. The staff was the one saving grace here. Each employee that I encountered was friendly and helpful, which was great. But nothing in the fitness room worked, no thermostat in the room to control the temperature, just red and blue dial. Bed was uncomfortable, water did not get hot enough...no USB charger in the room. The hotel was under rennovation and they were working on the elevator install.

The Best Western Porterville Inn is currently undergoing major renovations. The rooms were clean, the beds and pillows very comfortable and all necessary amenities are in the room. The desk clerk, Nancy, was very professional, courteous and ensured that all of our needs were met. Motel recently renovated.

Outstanding! Everything from check in to check out was great. The room was clean, breakfast was plentiful, the front desk was kind. We requested extra blankets and pillows and got them without question.

the room and everything was average and fine....BUT THE RECEPTIONIST DURING CHECK IN WAS AWFUL....very rude and unprofessional....they had messed up our reservation so it took a good 40 minutes or more to check in.....awful check in experience

First off, there is not much to do in Porterville and I would not call it a destination place. There is Sequoia and Kings Canyon within 45 mins to an hour but due to road work within the park, you cannot get to the "big trees" without waiting in long traffic and we were there during the Paradise fires so everywhere was smoke and ash. Secondly, we were charged the FULL room price regardless of the construction and trash everywhere. Seems like they could have cut the nightly fee considering the ongoing construction across the street from the hotel on the new Aldi Market and the remodeling still occurring inside the hotel! The construction crew working on the Aldi store, stays at the Best Western and although they were very polite, they do rise at 5AM and their constant slamming of doors with accompanying hallway noise all makes for an early wake up. It seems the rooms next to ours were used as staging areas for the interior/exterior remodel of the hotel which caused daytime noise and distractions. My husband was in Porterville for a business meeting. I tagged along and worked inside the room remotely for my job but the constant pounding was annoying and prevented me from making any work calls. The main thing I HATE about booking with any Best Western is they use a 3rd party. You have to pay close attention when booking online because if you click on the Best Western website (or what you think is their site) it defaults to a 3rd party who could give a sh*t about you or your travel plans. As it was, I booked the room and needed to change the reservation, a day after booking, to 1 day later arrival and 1 day longer stay. I called and was directed to the 3rd party who told me "your chance to change or cancel expired 10/14/18" I had not BOOKED until 11/7/18 so basically my chance to change or cancel was PRIOR to even booking the room!! Beware. I had to call the manager and change the dates, but he was not happy about it. When we arrived, we were told the pet fee was $50 per night=$100 but to that they added sales tax. The room charge was supposed to be $112.00. Discover card sent me an alert advising we were charged $108.00 for the pet fee and $351.50 for 2 nights at a Best Western! So....$175, plus $50 pet fee for 2 nights at a Best Western? I called the Front Desk and was told they would "go over the charges and call me back". I never received a call but I did manage to get the charges resolved. Not very happy and don't plan to return to Porterville anytime soon.

Had a nice, clean and quiet room with a Denny's restaurant next door. I would recommend to anyone for value, price. There was also shopping and a Galaxy 9 movie theater nearby for short driving distance, as well as scenic mountains and roads for access to view.

Clean, comfortable room. Good Wi-Fi. Free Breakfast is pretty decent. The Hotel is under construction and this worried me a little but all was good. What has been completed is nice.I would stay again if in the area.

My room was fairly clean.. Apart from the EXTENSIVE mold damage in the shower. It was enough to leave me in respiratory distress. (I am a mold remediator by trade.) Advertising spa/hot tub, but it was not functioning. Neither was the Wi-Fi. Disappointing stay for $130.

Be advised that this location is undergoing extensive renovation, with numerous problems (hopefully temporary) for visitors. I have been very pleased with this hotel in the past, and hope that current problems can be resolved once construction is complete. I find it irresponsible that Best Western did not provide a notification that this property was undergoing renovation. On the bright side, service was excellent.

Everything was as expected; nice accomodating receptionist, clean rooms, relatively quiet surroundings. So, no complaints there. However, not sure what the source was, but the entire 1st floor smelt of paint or some solvent. Maybe it was because of the construction in the front entry.

We have stayed here on many occasions for many years while preforming work in the area which has limited lodging options. We always reserve multiple rooms, usually for months at a time, and we always seem to have an issue with additional charges being added to our bill. Only after questioning charges do we find out that they are for towels being soiled or things apparently going missing that haven't been touched let alone removed from the room. The staff at this location is helpful and accommodating, but the owner forces them to charge additional fees unknown to the guests. The owner is very augmentative and rude when you have to deal with him. It's unfortunate that this is a representation of the Best Western name.

Extremely disappointing. I asked at time of reservation if there would be construction and was told no - the entire place is being "renovated" and was a shambles. I tried three separate rooms downstairs and was able to open the "locked" window in every one, finally asked for a room upstairs. Finally, no internet at all the entire stay. My advice is to stay at the hotel next door. I will never come back.

My grandmother and I were visiting a family friend that was ill in the hospital in Visalia and we brought our small dog with us because we planned to spend the night at a relative's house. Long story short, we were unable to stay at said relatives house and needed to find a pet friendly hotel. Unfortunately, the wildfires burning meant that many hotels were filled in with emergency service workers around Visalia. So we ended up in Porterville. The staff was great and the rooms were more spacious than I had anticipated. Vreat selection of breakfast as well including omelets, scrambled eggs waffles ect.

In spite of on going construction, this was a great experience. If you stay in Porterville, this is the place to stay. The breakfast was great and the staff helpful. If the corporate web site says they are full, call the hotel directly.

I have stayed here before and had a great stay but this time was a little different. The staff is great and the room was fine but evidentially there was a couple of pot growers staying a few doors down from my room. It smelled like a combination of skunk and pot. There was construction going on and even though the workers aren't suppose to start making noise before 7am, it started closer to 6:30. I do understand since the days were around 109 degrees so they wanted to beat the heat. The maid also left the used pillowcases in the room. Usually this Best Western is great to come to and spend a few days. I will certainly be back.

This property is very overpriced! It is not in a premium location and is in terrible disrepair. It has been under construction for a very long time. When I mention this to the front desk person, I am always met with “the owner has a hard time finding good help, he's always firing the construction guys”. Hmmm, that's telling of the kind of person the owner is! There is virtually NO security, the outside doors are never locked. The hallways are not accessible from the lobby, the hallways are in need of paint and wall repair. The rooms are not the cleanest and this visit we awoke to no hot water, terribly inconvenient since we had a wedding to go to. I have endured this place as much as I can, going next door to the Holiday Inn Express from now on.

I have been staying here for over 20 years. It is a pleasant place to stay as they always treat you with kindness. It is always good to continue to stay at a place your are familiar with and enjoy staying. The location is great and the staff always have a smile when checking in and out. I consider this my home away from home when I visit Porterville :-)

this was the lowest quality BW I have ever stayed at. The bed was too soft, the pillows too small and way too soft and the air conditioner took forever to get the room cool and it struggled to keep it cool.

Staff was helpful and courteous. Decor, amenities and service were as good as a Best Western Plus. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was the standard Best Western hot breakfast. Our room was at the far end of the corridor and WiFi was weak.

They were remodeling the hotel, however I did not experience any noise or problem during my stay. I really like the remodeled room I stayed in. The staff was very helpful and professional. I would stay here again if in the area.

Not a great experience. ?? plyboard in the lobby and the hallways. I was able to hear every car and person in the parking lot. The bed was not comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and the staff was nice.

The Hotel was amazing nice staff, facility. They had a great breakfast choice my daughters enjoyed it. Not complaints. I highly recommend.We were right by the pool and my family enjoyed all around. Family friendly.

Best Western Porterville Inn, nice location and less than an hour from the Sequoia National Park entrance. Restaurants at walking distance. The Hotel was under a remodeling process, even though it was not noisy. Nice breakfast.

Called here at 10pm when my previously booked hotel was terrible. The girl working the front desk was incredibly nice. Gave me a room at the AAA rate with late notice, gave me a room close to the breakfast room so I wouldn't have to walk far in the morning. The room was very clean! Great TV, plenty of coffee and hot chocolate in the room. The bed was very comfortable, best sleep I had the whole trip. Very quiet, never heard other guests from my room. Bathroom was clean and had a nice shower. Loved it!

Very noisy hotel. Guests that were probably local workers were extremely noisy until late a night and seemed to leave their rooms at 5am letting their doors slam, yelling in the hallways, talking loud. Hotel walls are thin as it seems to be an older hotel. AC unit sounded like a jet engine when it came on so I could only use fan throughout the night.

Not worth $116 per night of stay. Carpets looks uncleaned. The beds aren't that comfortable. Our bed sheets weren't changed unless you requested it. Towels weren't replaced either. Very small room. Breakfast were the same during the entire stay - potatoes, eggs, and sausage. Holiday Inn is far better that this hotel.

My husband and I stayed here when I attended my 40th High School class reunion. We had a great stay and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean with nice decor, the bed was comfortable and the free breakfast choices included waffles, eggs, sausage, potatoes, cereal, yogurt, coffee and juice. This was also one of the few hotels in town that allowed a dog to stay (for a pet fee). We will definitely stay here again!

I stayed here on a business trip, and was underwhelmed by the hotel. On the plus side, it's quiet, affordable, and conveniently located. The free Wi-Fi is a plus. On the negative side, it's desperately in need of a facelift. There are no elevators, so you need to lug your bags up to the second floor. The carpets are old and stained, and the pillows are not particularly comfortable. The free breakfast was barely edible, and the service was lackadaisical. One day I didn't even get housekeeping for my room, even after requesting it from the front desk. I wouldn't stay here again if I had a choice.

Had to stay here again since there are few options in P'Ville. Easy check in. We got a decent price on hotwire. Extra fee ($10) at check in for a second bed. Parking lot was pretty empty at 9 pm. Bed was a bit soft for my taste, shower hot, in room fridge, microwave, coffee-maker. TV was solid and well-placed. Comfortable room. Bathroom was large, but had no fan. Quiet hallway. Pool looked decent. There was construction debris on the north end of parking area. Daytime noise started around 8:30 am. Breakfast buffet was better than expected - eggs, potatoes, sausage patties, with belgian waffles, cereals, good bread and juice choices. No need to go anyplace for breakfast. Looks like they are adding an elevator near breakfast area and reconfiguring access from lobby. Room carpet badly stained and could use replacement, or at least professional cleaning. All in all, a good stay.

Quiet location, clean room with nearby food options and good breakfast, internet and shower, and television options; excellent for business trips and willing to give government rate and allow check in of my research crew before I arrived.

We were on our way to sequoia national park & this was a good stop for us. Hotel is being renovated, but this didn't pose any inconvenience for us. We had 2 rooms, both spacious & both with a dorm size fridge. Room was very clean , bed was firm but comfortable, air conditioner worked great & it was over the Labor Day weekend heat wave. Breakfast had a lot of choices & was at the end of the hall from us. And also important the price was reasonable.

This is another best western that I stay at...And a great place. Good location very quiet great staff very helpful. you can't go wrong. Price is very good, beds you can sleep in and get a good nites rest.

We had a wedding anniversary and needed a place to stay. This was the first time staying at Best Western inspite of the remodel going on, this hotel was clean. I liked that the pool was surrounded by all of the hotel. My children loved the pool. We all enjoyed the breakfast we will definitely be back.

If your gonna come our way the Best Western Porterville is the place to stay. The rooms are comfortable, the pool & spa area are clean relaxing and the staff will go out of there way to make you feel good

This hotel was fine but nothing special. I would have probably given it 4 stars except the front desk wasn't very prepared. I went down for change for the laundry (which they advertise as having) but they only had $1.50 worth of quarters which isn't nearly enough. Then we needed extra towels and they didn't have any of those available either. However, the room was nice and clean and the location was good. They had a sewer pipe burst earlier in the day (not something they could control) and they were doing a great job of containing the construction mess. That really didn't affect us at all except having to walk a bit further to get to the lobby from our room. We didn't have a chance to swim but the pool and hot tub looked nice and well-maintained. It was quiet, which is always a great quality in a hotel. I would stay there again.

The room was infested with 100's of ants that were on everything by the time I woke up the first morning! Moved to a different room, but peace of mind was shattered, especially after the hotel staff moved my belongings on their own. I told them I would move them and that they were out of the way, but when I went into the room, they were gone. It's not like they could put another person in the room (I hope).

Since there was a major reconstruction project going on during our stay, something we were not warned about when we made the reservation, the place was a huge, loud mess. All the usual ways of getting around the property were blocked and the front desk staff would just say, "Just go out and around" and expect us to figure it out. Very poor customer service since it was 100 degrees outside and wandering around was very unpleasant in business attire. Also, several members of our group, myself included, had trouble with the magnetic strips on our door cards. The staff acted like we were idiots who didn't know how to use a key card. We always had to wait for coffee at the breakfast buffet and half the toaster was broken. Toast and coffee! How hard is that? Very off-putting. These were just some of the problems we had which could have been easily smoothed over with some basic customer service. Next time, I'll stay at the Holiday Inn next door.

I've stayed at this hotel MANY times when visiting my girlfriend's family in Porterville, CA. This time we brought my two daughters so I got two rooms adjoining. After the first night, my girls woke up to ants all over their end table as well as on their beds. Not a couple ants, an infestation. They were on the floor as well as their computer backpack inside and out. My youngest even had some in her bed with her. Ultimately, we were relocated after first being told they were going to clean that room thoroughly. I ended up moving all our stuff to the second floor with the help of the one really great girl who works the front desk. Moving two rooms when it's 108 outside isn't what I had wanted to be doing during this trip, but it was necessary. I informed the front desk lady, Minni, that I wanted a call from the manager or owner before the end of my stay and I wanted to be informed on what change would be made to our rate. We were there for 4 nights, two rooms. Mind you, the money is the least of my concerns. This is about doing what's right. I'm in the customer service business and know the importance of taking care of customers. I never got a call back. So, I called on my drive back to LA and asked the manager on duty what was being done to our bill. He informed me that the owner said they would be taking 10% off the first night of one room. I was blown away. And I admit, the manager was on the receiving end of some sarcasm. I asked him to repeat it again to me... and to tell me that 'Here at the Best Western In Porterville, if your kids wake up with ants all over their stuff as well as on their bodies in bed, we are happy to offer you a 10% discount on one night." I told him the obvious thing to do here would be to fully comp one night on one room. That's one out of the 8 charged nights. That wouldn't be what I would do, if I ran the place, but it should be the minimum. I asked him to have the owner call me within an hour and tell me himself of the decision. The owner did call back and informed me that actually he'd be doing nothing, as we were moved to different rooms. This is among the worst failures of common sense I've ever experienced. And again, money is the least of my concern. Heck, I'd give anything that came off my bill, to the charity of Best Western's choice. Money is not what concerns me here. It's pure incompetence. I've contacted corporate and look forward to their thoughts/position on this.

The room was clean and the breakfast good. The bed was comfortable, but they could use some new pillows. My room key worked for my room, but not for the exterior doors, which was very inconvenient after using the pool. Also, bring your own beach towel; their pool towels are the size of dish towels. All in all a good deal, and much cheaper than the Holiday Inn Express.

Construction was ongoing and started promptly at 6:30 am. There were guests with dogs who were in the hallway with loud music playing from their rooms with their doors open. The tile floor was wet and extremely slippery. Not a good experience at all.

Currently, there is some construction involving the addition of elevators. It is only a two story building. The rooms are nicely kept. The breakfast room was large and clean. The staff is friendly. The pool area is very pleasant. There is a Denny's next door so a person could just walk from the BW.

No one let us know that the pool was out of order or that so much construction was going on. I promised the family we would have a pool and not even given warning (maybe via e-mail) that it was out of order in a town that the temperature is in the 100s. Would have been nice to know so we could make other arrangements. Property and room clean but carpets dirty.

Disappointed my door would never open to let me in and that I want notified of the pool closure and construction, but was delighted with my room and amenities. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was wonderful.

I was able to keep room at a comfortable temperature for sleeping which is very important to me. The room was clean and nice and roomy too. The hotel is pet friendly which is important to me. The internet is awesome.

Nice place my only complaint was no pool light for night swimming and it seems as though they weren't worried about taking care of The issue when we called to report. With children it's a little nerve wracking

We booked this place because it was near the Sequoia National Park...well "near" being about an hour away. All closer hotels were mostly booked for our family of 5 (3 adults and two kids). We wanted a place with a pool. The pool is nice, but there is limited seating with umbrellas (and it's hot even in May, 95 as I write this). The rooms are ok...nothing to complain about. Beds were pretty comfortable. The included breakfast was hearty...omelets, sausage, cereal, muffins...a nice spread. We ran into a few frustrations. First, our keys had continuous problems. Had to exchange several times and we were not alone...got to meet more people I guess :-). In the second day (we stayed for 2 nights and 3 days), they ran out if pool towels. Then ALL towels. We stayed on a weekend. In the morning after our first night, we had the Do Not Disturb sign on until about 10:30 or 11. We got back from breakfast, took the sign down then went out for the day. We returned at 9 at night and our room had not been serviced. Not usually a problem for us...except for the towel issue. In the second morning the breakfast room was fairly full, and most of the food and coffee was gone. The woman working there was not in the room...she was making more food. My sense was that she was working pretty much alone. I got the sense that they had a very small staff. In my experience they were understaffed. Everyone who worked here was nice, helpful, and seemed genuinely upset when, for example, there were no towels. That tells me that this place needs more staff of the same quality that they have. When you short your staff, your short your guests.

Was on a 3500 mile motorcycle trip with friends, and stayed at several BW's on the way. This property was very nice and conveniently located. Was able to get room on ground floor and park bike right outside close to room. There was a Denny's right next door to walk to. All amenities were great, and provide a great breakfast as well. Would stay here and recommend to my friends.

Stayed at many a Best Western. These folk need to go to Modesto CA or Williams AZ and learn how to run a hotel. It was dingy, unkempt and the breakfast poor. Luckily I will never be back but you need to improve.

Room was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed our stay and having a couch was nice also. Only negative thing I would say is that it didn't have a vending machine with snacks. Or if it did I did not see it.

For a small town, this hotel exceeded our expectations in quality and comfort. The price was quite competitive. The staff - desk and room - were all very professional and friendly. I booked online and found it very easy, and checking in was expedited. For tired travelers, this was a plus!

Great place to come whole you have to work around this area. Wonderful place nice people. Clean happy folks. The Dennis in the hotel was a great suprise. They went out of ther way to make my husband smile, when his mom passed. (We found out there )

Cheaper here but don't care about guests.. No elevator, serve 1/2 portions at breakfast, always run out of yogurt.Takes a week to get something fixed. Rooms full of ants.Refrigerator does not stay cold.Microwaves are old.

My problem was the general manager waking me up by a phone call. The person saying the GM needs you to come to the door. I was sound asleep (do not disturb sign on door) went to the door he was rude asking me who I was and all kinds of questions. He left later I went to talk to him clerk said he was busy retrieving his messages I could hear him on the phone I waited 20 minutes he never came out. This was disrespectful he knew I was waiting and how could listening to messages not wait. We had problems in one of the rooms reported never fixed, Keys would only work once if at all. Had to make several trips to desk for new keys for both rooms. THIS PLACE NEEDS NEW MANAGEMENT

I have a group of friends that stay at this same hotel two times per year for a camping trip. Some of the older friends or those with health problems stay at the hotel. We love it here and have never had problems.

Jay who checked us in, still had a smile on his face at 1:00am and managed to crack a couple jokes. Funny guy , we asked for down stairs so we could keep a eye on our work truck. Give us our wifi codes and explained breakfast in the morning.

Ray or Jay, at the front desk was very rude and impolite, doubting that I was a Diamond member. I have been staying at Best western locations all over the USA, and I have never experienced that kind of service before. But there is a lovely lady by the name of Kristine I think, she was able to solve a issue i had right away.

I stayed at this property on February 17th for one night. Very clean rooms and gracious staff. Don't be fooled by the dated exterior - the rooms are very clean and well maintained! The breakfast was great and many choices. I would stay here again.

Upon your arrival, you will be greeted by a friendly & knowledgeable staff. The hotel has all the amenities you should need. Located just off the highway with easy on & off access. Except for fast food nearby, there are no sit down restaurants in the immediate area, it will take you a short 5-10 minute drive into town for a sit down meal. Plenty of Mexican Taqueria's with excellent food... Plenty of parking for all sized vehicles.

will always choose Best Western as my hotel! The rooms are clean and the staff is very hospital. The complimentary breakfast is a good way to start the morning! I used the laundry room at my last stay and was very happy with the results.

I've stayed at many Best Westerns as I travel frequently on business and also for pleasure. This Best Western was typical of many that I've stayed at. The room was clean, the hotel was reasonably quiet and I had a good night's stay. The breakfast room opened a couple minutes late, not a big deal but I was on a tight schedule that day. I would stay here again.

Overall, the service, quality and price at Best Western is excellent. However, it only takes "one bad apple" to change the excellent rating to good. The hotel staff were friendly and courteous. However, the lady who worked the Breakfast Area, Veronica was very rude and unpleasant. I was standing behind Veronica while waiting for her to put the yogurt in the fridge. Instead of a smile, she looked at me and my young son, and rudely looked at us and said, "What?" in a very negative, rude and condescending manner. Not once did she smile! My sisters and friends all felt that she should not be working in a service-industry environment. We felt she did not want to be at work. If she was experiencing any personal problems, she should have just put that behind her as soon as she stepped into work. I would have given my overall stay a 9-10, but because of her, she made my experience a "7". Manager should provide her with constructive criticism. Veronica's attitude should be pleasant and not "angry". I usually stay at BW when I visit Porterville but if I experience this kind of attitude again in the future, I will not stay here regardless of how clean or nice the hotel is. Workers need to be mindful and courteous of their guests. Otherwise, guests will take their business elsewhere. :-(

This Best Western found me a room right away even though my reservation was to begin the following day. The staff is always courteous and helpful and attend my needs in a timely manner. Check In and Check Out is quick and easy. This time my wife left clothes and when I returned home a voicemail informed me of this situation and we were able to arrange for return of the items. I look forward to return in November when I visit friends in Porterville and highly suggest others stay at this Best Western.

A/C was very loud in room! Couldn't sleep. Spa/whirlpool heater didn't work. An employee told us it had been out for at least a year. We stay at a hotel/motel that has at least a 3 star rating mainly for the whirlpool/spa, which we like after a long drive. This motel was miserable.

We stayed only one night, and it was fine. Not exceptional, but not bad. Check in was efficient, not friendly. Housekeeping staff congregated everywhere, but since we stayed only one night, I have no idea if it affected the room cleaning. Breakfast was typical BW quality and variety, except that they did not carry cream cheese.

We booked a room for our family vacation and exploration. We specifically chose to pay during check in at the hotel. After a tiring and long day during in the winding road at sequoia national park, we were ready to end the day and just rest only to find out that our reservation was cancelled without us being contacted. I have 2kids who are tired and hungry. I just can't believe it. This is my first negative review here. I'm just really disappointed.

Check in was easy and the hotel staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel itself can use a little paint to touch up the walls. Not a place I would choose to stay but there were no other rooms available at any of the other hotels nearby. It's worth the low price you pay if that's what your looking for. Otherwise comfortable, clean and quiet. About a 15 minute drive to the Sequoia forest entrance. Free breakfast.

The front desk was very rude and made me wait around while he had a personal conversation with another employee. I also stood around while he stapled papers and answered phone calls. Break fast staff was rude and told me to eat with my fingers because they were out of plastic spoons.

For the money value, this hotel is great. The proximity to Sequioa and Kings Canyon National Parks is the main attraction. There are plenty of places to eat nearby. But, seriously, confirm and double check your reservation before arrival. The staffs were somewhat easily confused.

We were doing a road trip through America and we were on a tight budget. This Hotel was great value for money and we really enjoyed our stay there, if you have the chance to stay here we highly recommend them. We only had one issue with the hotel and that was the access card to the room needed to be reset, due to me putting it next to my phone.

Booked this hotel at midnight after the Fairfield Inn Visalia Tulare kicked out our reservation for no good reason. The front desk lady gave us AAA rate out of kindness, though she could have charged us anything. The room itself (2 queen) was large and clean, and fulfilled all our needs. As a family of four this is not always a given. Example: I counted at least 8 electrical sockets for our use, including in the bed lamp and in the front of the microwave, nice touch as we had many electronic devices desperate to be charged. The breakfast far exceeded our expectations, with eggs, sausage, toast, muffins etc, yogurt, cereal, juice, coffee and tea and even instant oatmeal. The only caveat was that all 8 tables in the breakfast room were taken and we had to wait a few minutes. Adding a couple of extra tables outside the room could solve this. Overall, wish we had booked this one in advance and saved us the hassle.

Best Western Porterville, CA has the most friendly, caring, and professional staff. Service is expedient and all theStaff are like family and they treat clients as if they are family. The rooms are clean and breakfast is nutritional. Staff goes out of the way to help customers

Unfortunately, this BW property did not live up to the comfort, good quality and value that I expect from BW. The carpets in the rooms were very dirty. The AC was not efficient. The pool light was out and surrounding area was not safely lit. The beds were also uncomfortable. Although the staff was friendly and the breakfast was pretty good, I will not being staying at this property again. It desperately needs UPDATING!

The staff are great but the hotel needs to be updated and the rooms are dingy and old looking. Hint of smoke in the room. The breakfast was nice to have but it was not like other hotels offer. The couch seat had a blood stain and was flipped over so we could not see until we used the sofa bed. Did not like my child sleeping on it.

Everything was extremely satisfactory and appreciated on a short notice from the release from the hospital - a room was available and the check in was smooth. Daniel the clerk, offered to know if I had AAA so he could apply the discount which was very much appreciated on this emergency stay.

This Best Western has consistently provided a safe, quality stay on our trips to California for business or in transit to Vegas to visit daughter and grandkids. I would reccommend this motel highly. this stay, I utilized the guest laundry which was reasonably priced. Staff have always been couteous and helpful. We especially like the hot breakfast which compared to other chains has a greater number of choices.

We recently visited Sequoia National Park and stayed at this hotel for one of the nights of our vacation. It was clean and well taken care of. The hotel staff did a good job and the free breakfast was pretty good too. I'd recommend this to others passing through.

Very clean. Staff was great. It was one of the nicer hotels in town. I would for sure stay at this hotel again. Right next to several different restaurants, and it was very quiet. Price was also pretty good for the value and has a great pool which comes in handy with this California heat.

Nicely located, was 2 night stay for us visiting Sequoia NP. not far from park and town have all you may need to offer. gr8 break fast, never run out of anything which I liked most. small room but was sufficient for us.

The room was very nice. It was clean, well furnished and quiet. We had a nice view of the pool from the second floor. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. We had cheese omelettes, sausages, muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee and juice. They also had waffles. The hotel is conveniently located and away from traffic congestion. The price for the room was very reasonable. It was much cheaper than the Holiday Inn Express next door. This is probably because it is a much older hotel and not in "perfect shape." It was good enough for us, though. We would stay here again.

we had a great stay,very convienient ,pool was clean and had a good variety for breakfast,clean room and towels. the outside of hotel was nice and clean. parking looked secured and quiet.easy excess to rooms

Areas on need of improvement.....reservation, check in. Did not consider initial request for room type or location. No help with map, etc to indicate room location. No consideration for needs of 2 physically disabled persons. Etc., etc.,

The Staff at the Porterville Best Western is the not-so-secret-anymore gem that makes this BW OUTSTANDING! They are professional, friendly, and go out of their way to assist the customer. Innkeeper John Salas, Minnie, Nereida, Jay, Daniel, Nancy all contribute to a relaxing stay while I'm in Porterville CA for business

Were worried that we didn't book the hotel next door (holiday inn??) But when I checked in with the guy at the hotel he was so friendly and cheerful that I felt better...then we went down the hall and it honestly reminded me of a nicer Bates hotel, then we got to our room and the furniture was new and very nice, everything was clean, and the bed and pillows were super comfy! I used to work as a consultant for paint colors so the fact that there was no color bothered me but not my husband. Ha! The room just lacked warmth. If you need any help let me know!

The shower had mold growing in it, the baseboards were filthy, the light switch was filthy. The key cards did not work. The hairdryer plug kept coming lose. Only one bar soap to share between the sink and the shower. The toilet seat was up when I checked in. Although the hotel was not sold out, my room was next to an exterior door that kept slamming, and the noisiest ice maker.

Everything about this stay was great. The gal at check in was nice and a pleasure to talk to and was genuinely interested in why we were visiting, the room was clean, the breakfast was great, not as much noise as other reviews stated. The only thing that we didn't enjoy was the bed, it was not super comfortable otherwise it was great.

The cleanliness of the room was disappointing. There was a large wet looking spot on the bench, debris on the floor and chairs, and other people's hair all over the 2 chairs in the room. The exterior doors to the hotel, while having card readers, were not locked, you did not need a card to enter any of the doors to the building. Being that there was police activity involving an attempted stabbing on site the evening of our stay, which resulted in people being removed from the property in handcuffs, security would need to be improved before I would recommend this particular motel to anyone staying in the area. It was just scary and gross. The staff was friendly and understanding, and I'm sure that they are doing their best with what they have to work with, but they should be given additional training in quality control and also the funds to repair items that need to be addressed, with the security issue being top priority. Housekeeping should be retrained with basic skills needed to detail clean & sanitize rooms after they are vacated. Again, I understand it is Porterville, but it's also a Best Western and this motel reflects negatively on the Best Western brand.

hadnt planned on staying at this hotel but was pleasantly surprised, very clean, quiet hotel. missed the breakfast because we got in late, the juice and coffee was tasty the bed was comfy i slept well

I have stayed at this Best Western many time. It is conveniently located. Quiet, but right off a main street in Porterville. There is even a Denny's at the back that you can walk to from your room (and now they even deliver!). I debated whether to stay at the newer Holiday Inn next door -- but it was $25 more dollars per night. So I didn't. The hotel does suffer from age. The rooms are clean but stuffy and worn. And the air conditioning (which we needed -- due to the stuffiness) kept us both up at night (rattling and churning). Breakfast quality was far below other Best Westerns we have stayed at -- so we at at the Denny's behind the hotel. That said, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Had one of the most comfortable stays at this hotel. Definitely worth the rate. Great breakfast and staff that went above and beyond for allowing me to keep my reservation despite some fraudulent activity that basically rendered my credit card useless! Definitely recommend.

The Staff at the Best Western, Porterville, CA, make this Inn an enjoyable stay every time I have business in Central CA. Their individual and collective professionalism and friendliness plus the great rooms and amenities make this Hotel simply outstanding.

Nice stay. Close to the Eagle Mountain Casino. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Pool area in the center was so much more private than many hotels that expose you to the public. Nice clean breakfast room.

Just not the quality I normally get from a Best Western. I am very disappointed. For 5 years I have stayed here to Teach Wildland Fire Classes. The Hot tub & pool are always down for repair. Manager is a nice lady but the staff leaves a lot to be desired. Could not get Swing shift lady to replace tv remote batteries. She walked to our room and was RUDE...Talked to me like I was a child. I may never stay there again. I might have to check next door at the Holiday next year.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a few nights for a business trip. It was one of the better Best westerns I've stayed at- fabulous breakfast, clean, quiet, mostly friendly staff. The front desk clerk could use a lesson on customer service- she didnt smile once and it seemed like I was bothering her when I needed to check in.

We have been coming to this hotel since 2009 for business trips and pleasure trips to visit friends residing in convalescent facilities and have always had a pleasurable hotel experience. My husband is crippled, so hotel has aleays accoodated his needs. The breakfasts at Porterville Best Western have always given a variety of breakfast choices-my husband being diabetic has to have sugar free syrup with his waffles. Some hotel breakfasts do not provide this item.

Very good for the area and price. The people were very friendly and attentive. The food was alright, nothing special for the price of the room. The rooms were upgraded except for certain things like the heating and air could have used some help. Overall experience was alright.

I was very pleased with my stay and the hotel accommodations were good. I enjoyed my one night stay and would stay at this location again and would recommend. The complimentary breakfast was very good.

We stay one or twice a year at the Porterville location. Always Pleasant and Clean. Was rtaining as we left and staff were helpful in loading our vehicle under cover. Breakfast was excellent and no need to go to the Denny's next door. Best Westerns waffles, mini omellete and gravy were great.

I have written a review of this Best Western before, Just wanted to update it again to let everyone know it is still there and is still good :-). I go back to my home town of Porterville about 3 to 4 times a year. I always stay at the Best Western and they always treat me with friendly service as if it was my first time :-). Give it a try and you will not be dissapointed :-)

We had a wonderful stay, the rooms were clean and well stocked.The front desk staff was friendly and it was a quick check in and out.Breakfast was good but we didnt like that the attendant was just standing there by the door watching us it made us feel a little uncomfortable.It was easy and close to get to the Hotel from our relatives house which was good because we were really tired. The only complaint is the bathroom exahuast air fan didnt wrk. Overall it was a great stay.

The only hotel I choose to stay when doing business in Porterville, CA is the Best Western. Their Staff is the BEST-porfessional, welcoming, accommodating, flexible, and fun. Room is always ready and up to professional standards. Would never stay at any other brand.

Heater made a loud grinding sound everytime it came on. Sounded like a construction site everytime. Could not turn it off because the room gets cold fast. Not fun when you have a 2 year old. Only stayed for a night so no use switching rooms. Staff was friendly, however when we told them them of our frustration upon check-out they just simply acknowledged. I also found a clothes needle on the floor, luckily nobody had stepped on it. I am not one to complain or write reviews. But we feel like our stay there was not worth the it.

Very nice staff and hotel was very clean for being older. Very convenient to have hairstylist and nail salon on premise but I did not use them as their services were not marketed. I just happened to walk by.

The Internet has been out for two days. They have a framed sign up saying "techs are working on it!" but I question how long the sign as been up. I'm a business traveler and now I have to go to Starbucks to use my laptop. My key cards have stopped working twice. Breakfast eggs were cold. AC unit loudly kicks on and off every 5 minutes. The room has had some remodeling. Bathroom looks new. Everywhere else is sold out so I'll be another night. The room isn't disgusting but I've seen better in the same price range.

The Porterville, CA, Best Western, is simply outstanding in terms of value, overall experience, and high quality staff. This Best Western Staff led by Innkeeper John Salas is a major reason why I always stay at this Best Western

had a great experience staying .there beds were comfortableand the breakfast was very tasty and hot .not cold.hotel was also close to dennys resturant which gave you another option in eating.everything was reasonale priced

This hotel is terrible! The main reason being that I was able to unlock the "security latch" from the outside with ease. And the staff all look like they hate their job. My grandmother left her watch in the bathroom and 15mins after checking out I went back to grab it for her and the housekeeper was already cleaning the room when I got there. She claimed not to see the watch when my grandmother knew exactly where she set it down before washing her hands. It was a very expensive watch and I know that girl stole it. It goes without saying that my family and I will never stay here or any other Best Western again!

We stayed here on Sunday night during Labor Day weekend. We found the place was easy to get to from the freeway, it was very clean and comfortable. There were so many people staying there that I was amazed how quiet our room was at night. There was even a soccer team having breakfast when we were there.. If I had not seen so many people at the breakfast room I would not have believed it. BTW, we did not know our room came with breakfast at the time of booking so, for us that was a great deal. I am talking a complete breakfast that included fresh waffles, eggs, sausages, breads, muffins, coffee, juice, etc. There was only one lady managing the dinning room and she did a great job. Our room was big with a comfortable king size bed, small microwave and dorm size fridge. The bathroom was a pretty good size with a great shower. I must also mention the lady in the front desk was very helpful on Monday morning when we were trying to figure out different sightseeing options. This hotel has a swimming pool and spa but we did not use them. It also has free wifi but we did not use. I also saw a computer in the lobby. Definitely staying at this location next time we go back up to that area.

I have clients in the area and always stay here. Since I have stayed her so often, the staff call me by name. They are very nice and attentive and are always helpful. Since building does not have an elevator, I always request a room on the ground floor and they are very accommodating. The location is very close to the Sequoia National Park and there is a nice casino in the mountains close by.

The area around the hotel is not the best but the hotel itself was nice. Our room was very spacious and the restroom was big enough for me to get ready and my fiancé as well. The staff was nice and their breakfast was awesome so delicious. One thing to note is that the pool and hot tub are always packed and there's no elevator in the hotel do make sure to ask for a room on the first floor.
