SureStay Hotel by Best Western Vallejo Napa Valley, Vallejo

My boyfriend and I had to come to Vallejo for a dentist appointment. I am from Napa originally now live in Eureka, so I somewhat knew how bad this area is but it ended up being a lot worse when we came in. We booked this hotel online and it looked very nice on the website but it definitely wasn't that nice in person. There were homeless people constantly passing by and around and it was in a busy, high traffic area. We were unable to check in before 3 PM, so we were forced to sit around in the car. The dentist appointment was at 12. I thought it would have been nice for my boyfriend to be able to go directly to the hotel to lie down right after having 3 teeth pulled, but we had to wait another hour or so. We eventually checked in. The shower head was broken and I got water sprayed in my face. Also there was no breakfast provided. In the middle of the night, we heard a car alarm and people running around the parking lot and yelling. From what I gather, there was a break-in to the car. It seems to happen often at that hotel, having read reviews. We did not feel safe staying there. Lastly, the thing that riled me the most was the hotel charging us a $150 deposit. I had never had to pay a deposit anywhere else before, because I always book online ahead of time. If you ask me, we should be charging them a security deposit, from all that we went through staying with them! Not worth it!

Overall I Will never stay there again unless there some upgrades made thru remodeling, they really need a elevator as well!! But overall the staff was nice, it's just the place is too old looking! Need new vibrant colors & more lighting in the room, modern curtains, because right now it looks as if it it still stuck in an ugly colors of the 70's

I have been staying with them since 2014. Its a great place in Vallejo with great service and all staffs are very friendly. Room is very clean and up to date. They always charge lowest rate to me and my friends. WiFi connectivity is good. Yes, they need to repair some of the exterior area and walkway. Since they build new wood fence, hotel looks good.

I stay here one night, nearly every week. The staff here have always made me feel welcome. The rooms are clean. Even though it is very close to the freeway, the noise level is low. The staff remember faces quickly, and that makes a big difference. It's great!

We stayed here for 1 night this past weekend. We were in room 311. Never again. It is so dirty, dumpy and noisy. We couldn't wait to leave!! I couldn't sleep! Check-in. The girl wasn't friendly, no smile. Nothing. Ok. Walk out with our luggage to the nearest staircase. Didn't use the elevator BECAUSE it was further down and none of us wanted to walk that far down. Staircase. Start to walk up with luggage and we saw an opened condom wrapper on the step pulled our luggage over and avoided it. On Saturday morning when we were leaving back down the stairs, the condom wrapper was still there!!! Where are maintenance people??? Terrible. THE DIRTY ROOM: I've never been this scared to walk barefoot on carpet. We walked in AND INSTANTLY we could smell smoky, moldy air. The room is so bad and needs repair with the unused smoke alarm that was just left on the wall. There were so many parts of the wall that needed paint/repair that I lost count! Since this room was at the end of the hall, WE COULD HEAR EVERY ROLLING SUITCASE, EVERY LOUD TALKING PERSON, EVERY SCREAMING KID AND THE TRAFFIC FROM THE FREEWAY!!!!!!! SO NOISY!!! NO CLOSET OR CLOTHES BAR TO HANG ANY CLOTHES!! What??? I've never been unable to hang up my clothes!! NO LAUNDRY BAGS EITHER!! The Pee Smelling Bathroom: All we could smell was PEE!! No smell of bleach at all and it made us all wonder if the toilet was even cleaned at all. The toilet is in the small area near the tub. The shower curtain had mold and other stuff stuck to the bottom of it. The pull out shower wand wasn't working AND it took awhile for the tub to drain. We took each towel to look for stains etc.,. before we used them. Hopefully they were washed. PLUS: THE ROOM CARPET DOESNT HAVE A SPACER TO COVER WHERE THE BATHROOM TILE MEETS THE CARPET!! THERE WERE SMALL ROCKS, DIRT AND A SMALL TWIG!! GO TO TRAVELER PICTURE #7 AND YOU'LL SEE EXACT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! WHO IS CLEANING THE ROOMS??? THE DIRTY BEDS: As soon as we were in the room I pulled back the bedding and found a LONG BLACK WAVY HAIR!!! The 2nd bed had 2 LONG WAVY HAIRS AND 3 STAINED PILLOW CASES WITH 1 OF THEM HAVING SOME YELLOW CRUSTY STUFF ON IT!! WE DIDN'T USE ANY OF THE DIRTY PILLOWS!!! WHO IS CLEANING THE ROOMS??? PLUS THERE WASN'T ANY SMELL OF BLEACH ON THE BEDDING!!! AGAIN, making us wonder IF the bedding was ever washed!! FRONT DESK: NO HELP!! I've called 2 times to ask if someone from housekeeping found my charging cord. Each of the 2 women said they'd ask housekeep and call back. I've left my phone number AND NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED BACK!!!! The main telephone number: If you call around 7:00a.m. California time, the phone will ring, and ring and ring then you'll hear a click then a busy signal!! NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE!!!! I came home and washed our duffle bags and wiped down the suitcases with a sanitizer/disinfectant because of the dirt they may have come in contact with. I can't believe that no one goes and checks each room AND check on who is supposed to be cleaning and maintain the rooms. **We didn't even try OR look for the breakfast! NEVER AGAIN!!! I'd rather sleep in my car.
