Check-in was quick and easy. Room was clean and bed was comfy with lots of fluffy pillows and blankets. The staff are amazing! Kind, accommodating, and welcoming! Thank you for a great stay ladies! I’ll definitely be back!
Amazing stay with super comfortable beds and great location right next to the redwoods. The lady at the front desk is super helpful and accommodating and gave us great tips for visiting the redwoods. The room was really quiet too. Would stay there again!!
The Westward Inn is undoubtedly our favorite place to stay for the night, offering unbeatable rates. Its location is fantastic, and the availability of a washer and dryer is a great bonus if you need to do laundry. The rooms are impeccably clean, and the beds are incredibly cozy. From the management to the front desk staff and housekeeping, everyone we encountered was pleasant, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, making our stay a true delight. Whether you're visiting Crescent City CAfor the weekend or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by the Westward Inn
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful while we were visiting. They assisted us by printing a travel document for us on one day and voluntarily reimbursed us the cost to use the on-site washing machine when a city wide power outage happened while our clothes were in it. Thank you so much for the great service! :) Additionally, the rooms were very clean and everything was functional! We enjoyed our stay here and it was well worth the price.
The room was great! The fridge got my powerade drinks colder than they were from the store. Room was clean and staff is friendly and helpful. Great deal!
Check the price and the pictures - this isn't the Four Seasons, but it sure was worth the price! Room was VERY clean, and looks like there's been recent renovations. Everything worked - even the mini fridge wasn't noisy, like almost every other motel I've ever stayed at (if they worked at all). The room was quieter than I expected, and again, everything was VERY clean. Towels were plentiful, and not the thin, free gym-thin ones. Even the washcloths had some heft to them. Very nice. I bring my own toiletries, so I can't review the options they had (all were those little individually-wrapped soaps and the like). Beds were a bit squishy for my taste, but I know most people like that. Still slept well. Also not crazy about the 5000K color temperature bulbs in the room, but it seems every hotel/motel has been using those, for that "clinical" hospital feel... I think it's ghastly, and unwelcoming, but that seems to be what everyone uses now. (Was there a motel owner's convention, where they gave a discount code to buy those harsh bulbs?) Anyway, this was an excellent room in Crescent City, and will definitely be using them again when in CC again.
We had easy check in, room was very very clean. Stocked with anything we may need. The environment was quiet and peaceful. I appreciated the non smoking rooms. Has on premise washer and dryer, ice machine and coffee in the office by 8. Highly recommend!! From Arkansas!
