I liked the staff, the manager and the housekeepers. The pool area was very nice. I liked the breakfast room. I liked the cleanliness of the rooms and the comfortable beds. I liked how easy it is to park and that they don't charge for parking. The lighting in the room was good. There were also some nice updates in bathroom area. I have stayed in two different rooms at this motel. It might be me but there was a smell in both rooms that was off-putting. I don't think it was the smell of cleaning product and they don't take animals so I don't know.

Trains went by all night long, becoming more frequent early in the morning, around 5:30. Road traffic and people outside off their rooms were easily heard. I heard an alarm clock going off in a different room where I suspect nobody was staying because it kept going for at least 20 minutes. It was very clean, which is most important to me, and there was a bonus of a magnified, lighted mirror which was a nice touch.

Dear Alexander, We are sorry to hear that you did not experience the usual level of satisfaction that other guests have with their stays with us. We take upkeep and cleanliness very seriously, and our staff generally does a great job when it comes to maintaining our hotel and the rooms, so it is strange that this happened. While it is somewhat discouraging, feedback such as yours helps us to improve our product/service. We will review your comments in detail and attempt to make the necessary improvements for the enjoyment of our future guests. It's regrettable to read that our hotel was not in a location that was entirely to your liking. Our establishment is close to Redwood City downtown and drivable to the region's most desired destinations. Our guests normally love our convenient location, as it is such a good base for exploring the city. It's unfortunate that this was not your experience.

Horrible
No elevator this wasn't mentioned on trip advisor or wherever I booked through. I ended up re injuring my shoulder from carrying luggage up stairs to 2nd floor. Lobby looked nice but area to the rooms looked like an old run down cheap motel. Once inside room it smelled like old musty smell. Fridge inside room didn't work, toilet when flushed would make weird loud obnoxious noise. The fan in bathroom didn’t work walls were very thin that you could hear everything going on in next room. This is not wheelchair friendly hotel I couldn’t sleep and left so early at 2:30 am because it was horrible.

I am sorry to say that Redwood City is not immune to the issues associated with the dramatic upswing in vagrancy and homelessness. Two years ago, the RWC area appeared to have very few homeless people; while the numbers are still relatively low compared to other locations, the trend is clearly upward. I had an intoxicated man trying to enter my room at 5:30 am. The staff ran him off, but he somehow returned a second and third time, after which I called the police. I wish this man no ill-will, but my family's safety is and always will be my priority. The balance between treating people with compassion and keeping residents and guests safe is a delicate one. Good luck, California.

Hi Esmeralda, Thank you for your review. We appreciate your kind words for our front desk staff. At Best Western Inn Redwood City, we strive to deliver a great guest experience, but it sounds like your time with us did not meet your expectations entirely. Sorry to hear that you were disturbed by other guests. We do ask all guests to respect one another and keep the noise level to a minimum, but unfortunately, not all of our guests abide by all rules. Should you plan another visit, please let our on-site staff know if there is ever any issue with loud neighbors. Our staff will be happy to request the concerned guests to keep the noise down or move you to another room, if available, to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We apologize for any disappointment with the parking lot, and we would like to know more about how we can improve future guest satisfaction. As for the price, our aim is to deliver a superior experience at a fair price. Our guests usually find our pricing competitive as we do monitor room rates in the area to try and keep our prices reasonable for our guests. However, at certain times of the year, due to higher demand, prices do tend to increase in the area. Thank you for considering our accommodation for your stay in Redwood City and taking the time to post your review.

I have to say the front desk people were very nice when we arrived and the morning after. However, we are very disappointed about 2 events that happened on the morning we checked out. First, we got an odd call at 6:45am that someone called "emergency services". My family was in bed. Second, my husband went to take a shower at 8am. A "service employee" walked into our room unannounced. We had the "do not disturb sign on the door" and I would think that they should have checked that the room was still occupied. These events ruined our stay here. We just wanted a nice relaxing stay for one night and this was very disappointing.

I will not return unless they change out the disgusting carpet which is most likely cause of bad smell in room; ADA room had no shower chair or roll in shower. There was hair in one bed & stains on other bed. very outdated furniture. could hear neighbor snoring. the only thing pleasant was check-in person was very helpful and cordial. but the room itself needs a lot of work!

On my first full day there (after my first night) I was holed up in my room doing work until 11am. with the do not disturb sign. When I left the motel I stopped by the desk to tell the clerk specifically that I was out of the room and that I would like the room cleaned. He said, yes I'm going to do that now, I will tell them (the staffers, presumably) because they are still here. I thanked him and went on my way. When I returned at 9pm, the room hadn't been touched. Complained that night and the next morning. Some manager was to get back to me. Waited, addressed this again to a third person. Manager will be informed. Today when I checked out, told the clerk (think he was the original guy who said I will tell them) about the issue and he said he'd talk to the manager. He claimed he spoke with the owner/manager and the owner/manager was going to handle it and call him (the clerk) back. The owner/manager never called back. And the clerk told me to email the owner/manager for best results. I was asking for a bit of a credit. I also did request an extension of my checkout time, which they gave so it wasn't all bad. But it certainly was the heiight of terrible customer service regarding not cleaning a room.

Commuter train is too close to property and it blows it horn everytime is goes by, which is often. The property is small and the rooms are dated.

I had never stayed in such a bad room. The smell of detergent was very strong. The bedsheet was yellow-ish. We didn't take off cloth for the night and ran away without staying as planned.

Hi Jianyu, We are very sorry to learn about your recent experience at our hotel. It certainly does not sound as if you had the experience that we strive to provide for our guests, and we sincerely apologize for any failure in delivering on our commitment to provide you with a clean, comfortable, and pleasant place to stay. We encourage everyone to let our front desk know if there are any issues with their room upon check-in so we may remedy the issue immediately. That being said, we will bring this to the attention of our housekeeping team and see to it that our staff does a better job of preparing/airing out the rooms moving forward. It is disappointing if a guest leaves with less than first-rate experience - this is very unlike us. We know we can do better, and it would be an honor to have a chance to redeem ourselves with you and restore your faith in our hotel and hospitality. Kind regards, Guest Experience Team, BW Redwood City
