    We stayed in Ocean View Inn for our trip up to the Redwoods. Like much of Crescent City, this property is pretty old and dated. Although you can tell a lot of care is put in daily to keep the property cleaned and maintained. The room themselves, although outdated and in desperate need of a makeover, are very large and clean. Housekeeping is done daily, and you can tell the housekeepers are very thorough in their job. Our room did however have a rather off-putting mold smell, which we basically assumed was plaguing the rest of the property as well so we just put up with it. There is also a loud foghorn that goes off throughout the day, but we just learned to tune it out after a while. Free breakfast is available every morning. Nothing too exciting, as it's just a very simple stable of bagels, cereal, coffees, juices and fruits. But they do a pretty good job of making sure there are plenty available throughout the breakfast duration. There was one day during our stay however in which they were hosting an event in their private conference room, so they dragged the trash can from the dining area into the conference room. This left all of the guests eating breakfast without a trash can, which was rather inconvenient. Price was affordable, and we thankfully did not have to deal with any vehicle break-ins during our stay. Free parking is available in their massive private lot out front.

    It is a shabby hotel in the heart of the booking shore. The room was enormous , clean and quite . The only problem was there was a beep sound every 5 to 6 seconds coming from down stairs , a sound like a fax sound. Anyways it was a great stay.

    Very impressive with the soaps. They all smell so good

    Absolutely love this place. Our first time here and everything is so nice. Speedy check in, rooms are huge, comfortable and clean. Bathroom is clean, shower is strong and all the soaps smell so so nice. definitely coming back. Location is excellent.

    They should advertise this hotel as having the largest hotel rooms in Crescent City. I had a in- room jacuzzi tub. It was great after a day of hiking in the Redwood Forest. It could use an update. Wallpaper border and general decor indicate haven't been updated in a decade. It was clean and no obvious wear on the furniture or other places. I picked it for the microwave and refrigerator in room. I also enjoy the fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels, oatmeal and cereal continental breakfast until 10am. It was quiet in general, however a regular fog alert noise was heard from a mile away warning sailors. The WiFi is free, but spotty.

    Nice mural

    Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with my stay. I will never stay at a Best Western ever again…read more  We were not able to check into our hotel room until several hours after our advertised check in time. No communication was made to us prior to arriving at the hotel about our room not being ready. No concessions were made at that time because our booking was done through "www.hotels.com". During our stay our room developed a significant water leak from a ceiling light/fan fixture. This happened very late at night; I called down to the front desk and after waiting for several minutes I received a call back. By this time the water leak from the ceiling had mostly stopped, however we used all our hotel towels mitigating the water leak. The staff offered an adjacent room for us to stay in. However, it was very late at night and we had sleeping children and being that the water leak seemed to have stopped on its own we opted to stay in our room.  When we came back to our room the next day, the water leak was still active.  The hotel had not sent anyone to fix the leak and they had not sent anyone from housekeeping to clean up the huge water mess.  I went and spoke with the front desk staff personally and asked for assistance, however we never received any for the remainder of our stay. We spent the majority of our time out of the room because of this issue. We then had to leave the property several hours earlier than our scheduled check out time due to the bathroom being unusable. It was unusable because of an active water leak and a standing water all over the floor. Again, I called down to the front desk early on the morning of our check out to ask for assistance and they didn't provide any. After telling them that morning what the issues were that we were having, the response from staff was "Ok". The onsite manager was never available, and I was never able to speak to them.  This was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had and I will not be staying a best western ever again.

Stayed here on a Tuesday night during the middle of a long road trip. Place was quiet and eerie. With your window open, you are only accompanied by the lapping of distant waves. That is genuinely it. I probably saw 3 guests the course of my 14 hour stay. Eerie right? The dated decor didn't help either. However, I attest that this lodge is worth the stop. All of the workers were nice, the mattresses were extremely comfy, and the views were beautiful. All components of a great stay. Truthfully maybe this place doesn't deserve five stars. But I am rooting for this establishment. I hope you all enjoy oceanfront lodge as much as I did.

    People, BEWARE. This is a disgusting serious problem that…read morethe owner doesn't care about. The only way to stop this dirty hotel is not to stay there. We thought it was going to be a beautiful stay, according to the website. Boy, we're were surprised. We arrived after a long drive. We decided to drop off our luggage and head out for dinner. After dinner we did a little sightseeing by driving around. We returned back to our hotel around 8:00 pm. I always pull back the sheets and mattress pad. I usually do that as soon as i get the room, but, we were too hungry and exhausted. Too my surprise. I found something that resembles bed bugs along with hair and stains all over. I was shocked. We stay and travel a lot. I have never in my life stayed in filth. We immediately called down to the front. A young man showed up and had no clue what to do. I said. We need to change rooms. He left and came back up to tell us we couldn't because we have been here more than 30 minutes. What??? Are you serious?? Then i asked if we could have housekeeping come and change our bedding? He said there was nobody there. I then pulled up the chair cushion and.. disgusting. Food stains and god only knows what else. My husband and i packed up because there's no way we were going to stay in this room with potential bed bugs along. The kid said it looked like bird food. Another ridiculous comment. It was blood or poop. I took photos and videos because this should not be allowed. I couldn't hardly get out of the back door because it was rusty and hard to open. Then the balcony was terrifying to be on. It looked like we would go right through it. The chair was dirty so we couldn't sit on it. We asked for our money back, but still haven't received it. I will not sit with my mouth closed on this one. They board of Health. Needs to get involved. If there is blood or feces on your bed. That's a serious problem . We called a near by hotel and they instantly told us to come over. We did and it was beautiful! Clean, safe and a super friendly helpful staff. That would be great thank you.. I wouldn't even give them a one star.

Our room, 258, was missing some amenities like a luggage rack, no iron or ironing board (if you like to do that), and only provided 2 tiny single serve packets of body wash and conditioning shampoo. I'm grateful that there was also a small bar of soap. The bath in the room didn't work...I mean you couldn't shut the valve and actually take a bath. Water was fine. The room's were reasonably priced for the height of summer. Note that there are no elevators. Be prepared to drag your luggage up a flight or two of stairs. Desk chair inside was also torn and frayed - the room overall could have used an update. Noise level was bad for a while until a suite next to us calmed down. We turned on the swamp cooler to run all night so the white noise could deaden the noise. Next trip through town, I think we'll try a different hotel.

Of course she had negative opinions about everything, and that's why she's an ex. Lol I personally liked the room myself, with no complaints. Here again, 2026, I didn't make a reservation. I walked in and asked a very charming woman if they had any rooms available, and lucky for me, they did. $93.50 for the night, in a very large room #250, with all the amenities you would need: Ice bucket, hot water and/or coffee/tea maker, microwave, mini fridge (empty for your own beverages, etc.), heater/AC, TV with remote, queen size bed, desk, cabinet with drawers, two night stands with night lights, blow dryer, 3 sink towels, 2 sink towels to remove makeup, two body towels, a wash cloth, floor towel, and the bed was so comfortable. If you like Latinx food, across the street is an authentic Mexican restaurant (Perlita's Mexican Restaurant). The Bayview Inn front desk manager said that was restaurant has good reviews. I bought 3 nice size tacos for $17. Anyway, the Bayview Inn has a very large parking lot. I give a rating of 5-stars because I found the place to be welcoming, and the room to be clean and comfortable. When in the city again, I'll definitely stay here.
