BEST WESTERN PLUS Garden Court Inn, Fremont

the bed had suck bloom bug! after I stay here I go to visit doctor..... spend me $252,50.

Normally you'd expect a Best Western to be better than your average motel. This place too mostly lives up to that standard except for the following HUGE put offs: The ventilation is so poor that the room constantly feels stuffy/stinky. Secondly, floors creak whenever the person upstairs starts walking. These reasons were enough for me to rate the place below average.

I booked this hotel as it had good reviews, recently renovated and it's rating same as nearby Marriott Courtyard and Hilton Garden Inn. It was also the least expensive in the three star category I was looking for in the Bay area. An added bonus was that it was surrounded by greenery. I stayed for a week. As typical of Best Western, everything was good. Since it had gone through recent renovation everything was new - carpet, appliances, beds, bathroom etc. The staff was friendly. There was plenty of parking. Breakfast was usual. You can make hot waffles yourself, there was cheese filled omlette and the other usual items. The room was of usual size. The supposedly high speed wireless internet connection was slower than I had expected. They are into conservation so they have placards that if you place on the bed then they won't replace the sheets and they won't take towels that are not on the floor. I wanted to be part of the conservation effort so in spite of following the directions the cleaning person replaced everything anyway. Over all it was a great place to stay and I will return to this hotel during my subsequent visits.

The front desk assigned us a room in which someone's luggage was already there. We returned to front desk for another room without getting an apologize. There was a funny smell in the whole building. We also found a gum on shower curtain. YAK!!!
