I love that Best Western serves breakfast. A full breakfast, not just juice and toast. There is always protein, usually eggs and sausage, plus all the standard breakfast options (pancakes, cereal, yogurt, fruit). There is comfy space in which to eat. A real bonus! Saves having to spend time finding a place, getting there and paying for it. Thanks Best Western!

We stayed three nights at this Best Western in Merced, CA. We had an u[stairs corner room that was quite roomy with separate sink and shower/toilet rooms. It was equipped with a Keurig coffee machine, a nice refrigerator/ freezer combo. Also a microwave, which could not be plugged in - no electric outlet available. The bed was comfortable, and there was cable TV - although we could not find our favorite news - FOX News.

It was just right for the work we were doing. Plus when the parking lot was almost full with Contractor's trucks, just like us we knew it was a good choice. Breakfast hit the spot. We Will be back if more work comes our way.
