Best Western Cedar Inn & Suites

My husband booked this room as a surprise weekend away. The room was nice and big. He wanted this specific room, as opposed to others around the area due to it having a nice big jacuzzi tub. I have a bad back making the tub a huge selling point. We arrived and settled in. My husband decided to go do some time on the treadmill and I went to soak in the jacuzzi tub. As I began to fill the tub ants began crawling out from the cracked and moldy caulking in the exact spot along the back of the tub where I would be laying my head. I killed the first couple hoping that those would be the only ones… WRONG! My back was really hurting so I figured I just won’t lay back in the tub and I will make it a quick bath… until I found and ant IN my bath water! Okay now I’m done. I can manage through a shower but no way I’m I risking getting ants in my hair or sharing my bath with Bob and his other little buddies! I went to the desk to let them know about the problem and the individual at the desk, once he took his headphones off so he could speak to me offered me ant spray. Okay, ant spray where I’m supposed to be able to lay my head in the tub in a bathroom without a fan to pull the fumes out. I knew they were booked so telling them about the ant problem was mainly for informational purposes but I did expect them to make an adjustment to my bill when we checked out after our two day stay. WRONG again. We were told because we had used a booking service there was nothing they could do. Needless to say I’m furious! Add that to it being the noisiest room I have been in since years ago when all I could afford was a Motel 6, not somewhere I will be staying again!

We loved this place! Even though I read many great reviews about this place, we were still pleasantly surprised. The room was nicely decorated, clean, and very roomy at a great price! The king bed was very comfortable. However, the pillows were kind of stiff and the air conditioner loud. Other than that, there were lots of extras in the room: Microwave, Free Wifi, Large Flat Screen TV, Iron and board, Fridge, Desk, Balcony with chairs, Full Length mirror in the room, extra sink, Makeup remover towelettes with bathroom toiletries, a fireplace in some of the rooms, a separate sitting area with a desk and couch separated by a wall, and a free morning breakfast with a variety of breakfast items, including eggs and hash browns. The fresh mini waffles were my favorite! The service was great and the staff very warm, friendly, and helpful. They even let us check out an hour later. This hotel is conveniently located near Jamestown and Murphys and other interesting towns. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area for an Ironstone concert. (As nice as the rooms looked, we heard that they may be updating the rooms at the end of the year.)

I would have given this place 4 Stars if it wasn’t for Cassandra and Brett (I think that was his name). They are the front desk check in staff.
I was staying at the Best Western in Angels Camp for about 3 weeks because I was moving for work and waiting to sign a lease. The room was good, not great but good. Clean, comfortable and didn’t feel used. Showers were strong and hot which is great. AC unit could be loud depending which one you got, I hated the unit that would turn on and off when it got cold. But all in all a good decent room. I stayed in 4 different rooms across the 3 weeks (I would drive back to LA on the weekends).
Like any regular hotel, you can sometimes hear your neighbors, only if they were super loud. Or if you were on the bottom floor you could head kids running around above. The only issue I had was sometimes finding a stray hair here and there.
Back to the 5 stars. Cassandra was amazing, she checked me in each time and was always friendly with a smile. Specially in a city I’ve never been before it was nice to have someone genuinely kind to you. She deserves a raise. Brett was awesome because I booked for 4 nights, morning of the last day I said I needed another night. They were all booked. I had to pack and go to work but he kept checking with guests. A group needed a place closer to Yosemite so he arranged for another hotel and called to give me their room. Awesome.
This wasn’t some fancy hotel like the ones I’ve stayed in in Las Vegas. It is though probably the best quality and service hotel in the area and would recommend it to anyone.

A very cozy and quiet hotel. The rooms are quite roomy and offer plenty of space for everyone. Was also very clean, with friendly staff.

Stay in Murphys instead… it’s only nine miles away and a really quaint pleasant town. Angels Camp is mostly a bunch of non-​descript businesses on a busy highway. «Main Street» may sound small towny, but it’s also Highway 49.
The Best Western in Angels Camp is along that highway and mostly about what you’d expect. The rooms are basic but well-​maintained. However, their breakfast is one-​star. They talk up their breakfast burritos and other hot breakfast options… but it’s a bad joke. These are all just pre-​packaged, presumably previously frozen items that you unwrap and heat in a microwave. My burrito was so lacking in good taste I didn’t finish it.
For about the same price you can stay in the Murphys Hotel or Victoria Inn and have a much better experience.

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed here in the last 2 weeks. They upgraded our room to the king mini suite. The room is very elegant and super clean. The TV is a huge flat screen which is nice because you can see it great from the couch and the bed. I always bring my own pillows but next time I’ll leave them at home. Their pillows are amazing. Our room had a coffee pot, refrigerator and a microwave. They have a huge lot in the back where we can pull our truck and boat. We will stay here again when we come into town the next time.

Awesome. Love it. We usually bring our RV, but this time was just an overnight to pick up hubbies plane tomorrow. We stayed here and my Sdaughter and Granddaughter came too and i got the Family Suite. King and sofa bed in one room and 2 Queens in the other. Ohhh soooo nice. Great rooms. At the top of the stairs but never heard anyone. This is great. Very clean, clean pool area. Great staff. Def will stay here again. I cant hear anyone and its nice. Absolutely Quiet.

Whats to say? It’s everything you expect a hotel to be, and everything you’d expect to
have in the room is there (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hair driver, soaps etc.
LAUNDRY bag (so many places for get these!) ironing board, iron, desk, chair, pens paper, Internet access, extra towels, EVERYTHING!). AND without spending a bundle. We’ve stayed twice, and both times were good.
Just one comment, if your room is outside in the back, they have an outdoor smoking section there, and people’s smoke completely fills the hallway.
This time we were by the pool. No balcony, but no smoke either. Nice.
It’s amazing how many crappy places there are out there, but this isn’t one of them.
Clean, quiet and complete.
It’s relatively new, so when I say quiet, I mean you don’t hear ONE thing from outside your room. A real sweet relief compared to so many other places.
I had to laugh when someone said something about the pillows.
I take my own pillows with me everywhere now. Hotels all seem to have these little «marshmallow’ pillows anymore. They’re pretty worthless but with my own pillows, I sleep just fine.
Our new go to place when visiting in and around Angels Camp.
If you plan to wine tasting, check the internet to see if they’re having
a DUI checkpoint, which they were having last weekend right down the street.
I’m not suggesting anyone drive drunk, but if you want to avoid the hassle of doing
stupid human tricks and blowing in a meter because you had one glass of wine with dinner and they «smell» alcohol which in my experience they always do even when you’re not drinking, just Google it in advance, and perhaps consider staying in Murphy’s and walking to your hotel, or cabbing it. Seems they do them every 6 months or so, right in town. Which is odd, since there really isn’t any reason to drive through town. The main highway goes around it and it was only in one direction leaving town. 10 pm on Saturday, there’s not one establishment open at all, no bars nothing. Hmmmm.
That being said we didn’t drink any wine with dinner at all just to be safe but in the end, we didn’t go through it anyway. All roads into town weren’t part of it. Odd.
Anyway, the motel is recommended!

To start the room I pick was non-​smoking and it actually didn’t smell like smoke. Two thumbs up! Plenty of parking even if you have an RV. The room was clean when I came in. Bathroom door was a little weird because of you opened all the way it would block the walk way in your room, but I’m just being picky now haha. I know 1^st world problem right? But all in all a comfortable room and good price.

There are many different types and categories of hotels in the US. My work and travels have brought me all over the continent a hundred times, at least.
Mostly, I love luxury locations and incredible experiences. .. who doesn’t. But sometimes, more and more lately, I really love quaint nondescript little places where I can feel connected to the local people and their way of life.
Angels Camp, California fit that bill for me today. There was a big gathering at my sister’s fancy new custom estate there for her newlywed son and we had to spill over at a Best Western for the night.
This Best Western Cedar Inn & Suites is fairly new with nice modern rooms that are comparable to Hyatt Regencies or Marriott Courtyards I used to stay at for business trips.
They had free breakfast accoutrements in the dining area of the lobby.
What touched me and made my brief time here meaningful was the very kind and wonderful front desk staff. Max in the evening and Paige in the morning were patient, sweet, and very warm.
Plain & simple, clean, new, only what you need for a stay over, and pleasantly pleasant.
Just what the doctor ordered.
Review 0140

This was my first stay at Best Western Cedar Inn in Angels Camp (3 nights). The rooms were very clean and mine was HUGE (ask for room 100) and right off of the pool. The staff were helpful and friendly and the continental breakfast was adequate. The downside is that the rooms were a bit difficult to access for me as I have a bad leg; there are no elevators. The access door from the rooms to the front desk/​breakfast area is locked until 7am (what’s up with that?) I would stay here again, though.

The exterior looks inviting and the staff was very pleasant. The room was clean, quiet and well maintained. Bed and pillows were a bit uncomfortable so didn’t get the best nights rest. The breakfast was disappointing. Vending machine coffee was worse than hospital coffee and the food selection was carbs, carbs and more carbs.

Place was very nice. We had room 223, on the corner, with a jacuzzi tub and wall separating he bedroom — a little fridge and microwave, and TWO tvs. An interesting layout. Having our boy on the pullout sofa bed was handy. The very faint smoke smell marked it as a smoking room in the distant past, but it was not a problem. Pool/​hottub was good, and the breakfast had plenty of options. With only 45 rooms, its a small cozy Best Western.

In my personal rating system, I can’t imagine ever giving a Best Western more than three stars. As we pulled in to the parking lot here, three stars looked like a slam dunk. The facility is well-​maintained and the rooms are attractive and updated. So what happened? Worst… pillows…ever. Logs covered with cloth would have been more comfortable. Also, there was no ventilation in the bathroom. Hey, guys, ever heard of a fan?

This is a typical Best Western, clean and free breakfast! I was surprised at how comfortable the bed was at most hotels toss and turn all night but I was able to get a good night sleep until the dog in the neighboring house started barking at 7am!

This was my second GREAT stay at the Best Western Angels Camp in the historic Gold Rush country of California. As my group and I were attending a fundraiser Oct 19 in San Andreas at the Performing Animal Welfare Society (
) sanctuary to benefit the elephants and animals there, I knew we all would have a great stay at the Best Western in Angels Camp, 11 miles from San Andreas.
This was another wonderful stay. This hotel offers modern amenities, nice big CLEAN rooms, helpful staff in a great location. My mother and I shared a 2 bedroom suite, and it was huge. We stayed in room 122 which was large, quiet, clean, had a gas fireplace and a large spa tub.
The complimentary breakfast was abundant and offered a little bit of everything, including cereals, fruit, assorted muffins, bagels, breads, and a «make your own waffles station». Everything was VERY good! Again, the location is close to so many small historic towns, and even on our second night we drove to a quaint town called Murphy’s which is about 6 miles away and had a great dinner at Murphy’s Grill.

I am very happy that we stayed here. The room was clean, the pool was close to our room and the staff was helpful. There isn’t too much very close by, but we walked down to the main part of town which is about a 15 min walk. There’s a couple restaurants and lots of cute shops.
I will definitely stay here again!

As a business traveler, I have stayed in great places, mediocre places and some real dumps. Without doubt, this is the best Best Western location I’ve ever experienced, and I have experienced several. Better yet, this place was experienced on a long family weekend, not business.
Clean, spacious and modern facility. A traveler’s tri-​fecta. The first T.V. in room 222 could use replacing, though.
Staff: Extremely helpful and friendly (as were all the folks we experienced in Angels Camp). Quite the breath of fresh air during this day in age.
Rate: Much more-​than-​fair.
Breakfast: Adequate.
Location: Very convenient.
Will definitely be back soon.

Staff was nice enough to leave my key cards on the door when they had to leave for the night as I checked in around 11 PM. I initially panicked that we’d be sleeping in our cars.
I was initially impressed even w/​the halls. I love how the rooms had granite tops and new mini-​appliances (microwave and fridge). Everything was clean (and I’m want my room sparkling clean). The towels were folded nicely with decorations like in nicer hotels. They gave us 2 sets of lotions, shampoo, and conditioner. The room had 2 sinks — one outside the bathroom. You can change the spray type of the shower head. The beds were comfortable and clean (smelled fresh). The breakfast by the lobby consisted of reheatable breakfast sandwich and the usual (waffles, breads/​bagels, cereal, yogurt, and fruits). The coffee came out of a machine, which was different.
The only complaint would be that it wasn’t central heating. However, I was not bothered by the noise while sleeping with the heater on. The balcony looks out onto the balcony, but since it was freezing we didn’t use it.

I want to give 3.5 stars, but I decided that I should be nice. Overall, a very good experience. Glean, comfortable rooms, everything as promised, reservation available when I checked in, jacuzzi tub, two sinks, those nice shampoos, lotions and conditioners that were readily replenished and actually smelled good. I’ll probably stay here again, and would absolutely recommend it. Oh, and free wifi!
The bad:
Staff: The man checking me in was a jerk for no reason I could figure out. Maybe because I’m from out of town? Does he know what his job is? I don’t know, but as my first experience while checking in, I was very concerned. The woman checking me out told me I needed to wait (it was 7 am) while the computer «did its little start up thing.» Okay… not sure what that means or why you’d wait till 7 am to turn it on?
The free breakfast: No protein at all (no eggs, peanut butter, yogurt, cheese, etc.), stale toast. Yeah. Yum Yum.
In room: No creamer with the coffee, which was especially annoying since they had the non-​perishable half-​n-​half downstairs at the free breakfast.
Parking/​getting your luggage to your room: I wasn’t there when many people were there, so this wasn’t too bad, but the hotel is an odd layout that works great for the rooms, but makes it hard to get your luggage to rooms near the street easily. When full, I imagine the parking is a nightmare.
The workout room: I’m not picky about the stuff in a hotel fitness center, but some of the machines here needed replacement. The stationary bike and stair climber don’t work, and I was too afraid to try the treadmill given the state of the other two machines.
