Best Western Anderson Inn

We found this «Inn» on line while traveling from Oregon to Fresno CA. The web page states it is a 4 Star Hotel, and priced at 83.00. well if you know me, you know I hate wasting money for a place to sleep, I can pull into a rest stop and get a few winks, but, spouse has other ideas cause shes smarter than I (lol), and if it sounds too good to be true…(fill in the rest) We get to the counter to see about a room, the rate listed is not available, and they only have two rooms left… We took it. Total Cost with tax $ 108.90 and i am thinking if it sounds too good to be true it is. The young lady that checked us in was professional and had what seemed to be a «real smile» on her face. Over all this Hotel was better than most that I have stayed at for the same price, and I have stayed at quite a few. The room was HUGE! two beds, very large wash room and separate bath area. A very nice flat screen T.V. and here was what impressed both my spouse and I, «THE ROOM WAS ACTUALLY CLEAN» and there was a hand written note telling us to enjoy our stay with them. The «Inn» was very quiet as well, and after a night of rest we go down to the Lobby for the «Continental Breakfast» AMAZING, this was the whole (enchilada) that means it was «The Real Thing.» Fresh waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon and sausage. Hot biscuits, country made gravy, Milk, Apple Juice, Orange Juice, fresh fruit, breads «The WORKS» Yes guys this is a great place to stay. We have marked it on our travel map of places to come back to the next time we are headed South of Oregon, just off the I5

Great place to stay! Clean, good water pressure, super friendly staff. I called and got in even though they showed no rooms left online. I would stay again.

Gotta say everyone there was so nice and helpful. My car broke down while staying there one night on a road trip. Everyone did their best to help me out. Even looking under the hood and giving me suggestions. Very nice people. Wonderful staff.

Just checked in for a night and this place is pretty awesome especially considering the room price. 100x nicer that the Econo Lodge we stayed at for the drive down.
Front desk folks were nice. Ran into what I think was a maintenance man and he nice and helpful too. Most importantly, rooms are *really* nice for this class of hotel. Everything is nicely updated. Would we happy to stay here again.

What a great value. This Best Western is about $ 30 cheaper than the Best Western in Redding which is only about miles away.
We were checked in quickly and efficiently.
The room is large with two large queens, just like the other Best Western.
The bathroom clean with great water pressure.
The portion that normally has the sink and vanity is where they decided to put the hanging rack which I liked better for some reason. Maybe because I was able to put the luggage with everyone’s toiletries and medication and underwear in there and everyon ewas able to change in the «semi bathroom».
TV with cable.
Hot breakfast is provided.
Great pit stop.

Good for a one night stop while driving.
Clean and comfortable. HD TV and WI FI worked great.
Shares the lot with a shady strip mall, so wouldn’t recommend if you plan on staying there multiple nights while you enjoy the area. But for a one night stay while driving on the I-​5, you’re good.

Pros: The staff was very friendly & accommodating. Patti checked us in & she was great!
The room décor seemed new & updated.
Cons: Everything else. The beds were hard as a rock & my body & joints ached all the next day (I’m young & in pretty good shape). It felt as though I had slept on the floor. The pillows were very small & also hard which resulted in me waking up with a headache at 5am.
The bathroom was tiny & the fan did not do its job. It just made a lot of noise but didn’t seem to take the moisture out of the air. The hairdryer in the room had cracks in it & some strange dried putty like substance on it. I did not use it because of this. Housekeeping could do a little better as there were gross fingerprints all over the front of the dressers & gunk on the microwave door.
It would have been nice if there was a door or at least a curtain on the wet bar room (where the sink is) so that I could have had a place to get dressed as we were traveling with others.
There seems to be no insulation in the walls as we were kept awake most of the night by other guests conversations, kids giggling, the train nearby, other guests turning on their showers, etc.
I would not have chosen to stay at this place but did not have a choice as someone else in our party had made the reservations. I would not recommend nor would I stay again. One night was enough.

We had to stop here on our way to the Bay Area coming from Portland. Our intention was to drive straight home but traffic was terrible. We arrived at 9:30 and were greeted by a friendly staff member who promptly checked us in on the 1^st floor to accommodate our small children. She placed us in the room closest to the front desk incase we needed to come in for milk or water during the night. She was very sweet and after a long day on the road we needed that kindness. The only downside here was the carpet! Very dirty. My kids both had black feet within one hour of being in the room. That was terrible. Other then that, it was good. Close to food, gas, grocery, Starbucks, etc. Parking lot should have more lighting. We were a little unsure of the neighborhood. def recommend if you need to stop in Andersen, worth the $ 90 we paid!

A great place to layover & recharge while traveling up or down the I-​5! Newly renovated rooms, friendly staff, great rates & an awesome hot breakfast! Not to mention there’s a Safeway across the street, great shops/​restaurants & easy access to the I-​5

My new favorite place to stop between Portland and the Bay Area. It’s located in a strip mall area, which includes a Safeway supermarket (for those who want something cheaper and healthier than road food) and decently priced gas station. Everyone at the front desk was friendly, informative and helpful. The room was good-​sized and clean, the beds were extremely comfortable, the Wifi was fast and reliable, and the fridge and microwave were very useful.
Price with AAA and tax was about 99 bucks for 2 queen beds, so not the cheapest place on the road, but what I’m used to paying at Best Western.
Breakfast had a better selection than usual. The sausage and eggs were very tasty. Coffee was pretty standard, but there is a donuts and espresso place across the parking lot, as well as a Starbucks in Safeway, if you like fancier coffee.
The only thing I would change would be the configuration of the bathroom. As in many hotels, the sink is separated from the toilet/​shower– in our room, the sink shared a huge space with the closet and ironing board, leaving very little room for the toilet/​shower area.

My wife and I were passing through northern California and needed a quick overnighter spot. We have a Best Western frequent stay card (or whatever it’s called), so we pulled in without a reservation.
We asked the girl at the counter (she turned out to be the manager — amazing as she seemed too young) for a quiet room. She gave us one at the far end the of the motel and yes, it was quiet.
Pros:
The room was clean, had a table to spread out our notebook, and had a large flat screen TV.
Wireless was fast, even though we were far from the office.
We gave the shower was a 9 — lots of pressure and a great shower head.
Breakfast was a little above average — scrambled eggs, included.
Parking lot was big enough for our large van.
Cons:
It’s Anderson, so not many restaurants to choose from.

This hotel has been an annual pit stop in previous years for several family members and friends after traveling all day from Southern CA before embarking the next day on a Shasta Lake houseboat. After a 6 year break from houseboating we were pleasantly surprised to find this hotel completely redone. The outside has been updated and the rooms have been completely remodeled. New carpet, paint, granite sink counters, TVS, refridgerators, coffee makers, etc… A new addition was the complimentary breakfast including, eggs, bacon, waffles, cereal, yogurt, pastries, coffee, juice, etc… The pool area has also been redone including new comfy patio furniture.
The reason we originally chose this hotel in the past is because we can park our vehicles with trailered boats directly in front of our rooms to keep a watchful eye on them. The location is also ideal as we purchase some of our groceries for the houseboat trip directly across the street at the Safeway and gas up our vehicles and boats at nearby fuel stations.
The hotel was just «so so» in years past, sometimes the pool was not open and the rooms were not very clean. NOW this is a hotel we can recommend to others. The mother and daughter working the registration counter were very friendly and helpful, they sold my sister-​in-​law new pillows and pillow cases for our houseboat trip as they left theirs at home. Overall we were all very impressed and look forward to staying at the Best Western Plus in Anderson again.

Our soccer team stayed here in January and the service was excellent and the breakfast, included with our room, was great. The front desk people were all very friendly. The girls made waffles, or bagels or toast or had cereal. Unfortunately there is no hot tub to soak in after soccer, but they had a pool and doggie area, though the pool was closed being that it was January, but hey! Its California! It was a very cold weekend though, but kids don’t care!
It’s conveniently located right off the freeway, but I did not hear any freeway noise. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfy with nice sheets. It’s not the Hilton, but nice enough and price was good.

After Our fire loss, my 13 member family stayed at this hotel. We reported everything wrong with the rooms as the problems came up. After we checked out (1 week stay) the hotel mamanger charged us 250 dollars for a cabinet we already reported broken to house keeping. At the time of check in, the staff assured us there will not be any charged without authorization. They didnt even call me to let me know that there were charging 250 dollars! The mamager refused to refund the amount, even though we had proof of telling house keeping as soon as we knew it was broken. AND they did this after my family’s house burnt down. Do not recomend to anyone.

Crashed here late last night with my daughter to break up the drive home. $ 89, non smoking, two comfy beds. They have a pool, but we didn’t have time to use it. Chek in was friendly and fast, and the room is clean. Pets are accepted here, fyi.
Our room has a fridge and microwave in it. The bathroom consists of two separate rooms… one is the tub and toilet, and the other, with a closeable door, is where the closet and sink is. This is pretty cool if you have little kids. I put mine to sleep and could get ready for bed without disturbing her. If you’re traveling with a baby or toddler who sleeps in a portable crib, there is totally enough room (and then some) to put him in the sink room and close the door so you all get a good night’s sleep. Yes, I think like that. ;)
Great wifi. Easy to find. Breakfast is served… better than some hotels. We brought our own, but if you don’t care about additives and whatnot, you’d probably be pretty happy. Scrambled eggs, sausage, tortillas, toppings for breakfast burritos, waffles, juice, coffee, fruit loops, corn flakes, and one other sugary cereal, oatmeal packets. There were apples and oranges and also yoplait yogurt. White bread for toast, and a «whole grain» white bread too (they add the fiber back IN?! Why not just get whole wheat?), english muffins and prepacked pastries.

Nice accommodations for our 3-​day Shasta-​Cascade weekend — comfortable reasonably-​priced room, friendly staff, yummy breakfast including waffles, and avoided the sprawl/​traffic of Redding. Good central location for heading off to Lassen, Shasta Dam, and other attractions in the area.
We especially enjoyed a quiet, 2^nd-​flr, corner room with the window facing away from the walkway. The room was very clean with a comfortable king-​size bed, a more than adequate refrigerator, microwave, and good lighting. We found our $ 75/​night rate via the Best Western link from
which included an extra 2-​night discount.

Super friendly staff, good hot breakfast with eggs and waffles, new, clean, well maintained.

After exploring options in Redding and Red Bluff, decided that this place might be a better choice for the price. We were not disappointed.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Clean, comfortable, quiet room with updated décor. Staff was washing down the sidewalks as we arrived — don’t see THAT too often.
Nice, uncrowded pool (mid-​week).
Comprehensive breakfast, rounding out the usual waffles, fruit, cereal and bread choices with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage, condiment bar with shredded cheese, salsa, jalapenos. (BTW — Desk staff does double-​duty as chef and hostess).
