This hotel was dirty, shabby, and overpriced for what you got. The tops of the furniture were full of heavy dust. one of the dresser drawers was held together with duct tape.The curtains were ripped. The breakfast consists of some items wrapped in plastic that look like they were bought at a gas station. The staff was not helpful in... More

We read the reviews and were very weary about staying here. However, we decided to give it a try. The room was older. However, as we checked in, the gentleman at the front desk was very cordial and polite to us. He was very helpful any time that we needed anything. Our room was very clean and orderly. The room...

My husband thought it was the Best Western Hotel,which turned out to be an typical cheap scale Indian Motel. They charged us over 80 dollars.The room was very shabby and dirty. Internet was broken for the day and they don't have time to fix it,later I read other reviews about the internet seems broken year round. The continental breakfast was... More

After reading reviews online I was scared to book this room,but my daughter had gotten a puppy for Christmas so we needed a room with pets allowed! 10$ charge per pet per night,that's much better than the other in that city for 25-50$ a pet a night. Our room was clean (window edge was very dusty) room was very out... More

Let's get the bad stuff out of the way: - the room is old, and furniture looks ancient. There's a microwave and fridge, and my partner said that the microwave is considered an antique - i'm not familiar with the history of microwaves, so i cannot comment, but you get the general idea. - The breakfast is meager. When i... More

We found and prepaid for our room online. The front desk was helpful and quick in giving us our room keys. The room wasn't anything fantastic considering the price, but it was clean and warm. We slept soundly and had no problem checking out in the morning.

We arrived at the Great Western Inn and Suites excited about the hot tub, indoor pool, and free internet. Our room was OK, fairly dirty, with old, stained furniture, but a nice TV and leaky but acceptable sink and bathroom. The sheet appeared to have been freshly cleaned, but not the comforter. First we went to the pool area. The... More

Had a very difficult time getting a hotel room in this small town. Lots of out of state oil workers here with no rooms available. Thought we might be sleeping in the car, but when we arrived at 930 the desk clerk said he had been waiting on someone who hasn't showed up or called about their room and he... More

Hotel was clean, owners take good care of their facility and they are friendly. They saved our situation with giving us the room hard to find last minute, allowed our small dog. We were after 12 hours drive on October 2, 2012, and had huge disappointment shortly before with another hotel in Carlsbad we originally reserved via internet. That was... More

My wife & I had made a reservation at another motel two months in advance, but due to a leak, we were rerouted to Great Western. It is an older motel, but what impressed me was the honesty of the staff. I was prepared to pay what the other motel cost ($100+), and actually handed the desk clerk the reservation... More
