My wife and I, and our two long-time friends, all of us in our mid-sixties, stayed here for a couple of nights as part of a coach trip from Las Vegas to Los Angeles and wasn’t too bad an experience at all. We would rate this as the second best hotel that we stayed in of the three that were used to accommodate us during our trip, but unfortunately for this hotel the hotel that we rated first was nearly perfect in everything it did, which is quite unusual to say the least. We’re all quite seasoned travellers and have all stayed in literally hundreds of hotels across the World, so to say that a hotel was near perfect means that it really must have been good. However, this hotel was still up there with some of the best that we’ve stayed in. One of the things that let this hotel down was the arrival procedure. When the coach arrived they really weren’t ready for us, and excused themselves by telling us that they thought all of the bookings were individual and not part of a coach party. This may be true, but our top hotel had all of our key cards ready within envelopes with all of our names on them, and did not require any other information from us, so we were in our rooms within minutes of arrival. This hotel still required us to complete paperwork, and it took quite a considerable amount of time before we were all in our rooms. To give the staff their due they went into overdrive to try and lessen the amount of time we took to get our key cards and leave Reception. The room was certainly on par with the best hotel, in that it had everything required for our two night stay (large flat screen TV, large comfortable beds, good quality linen (so many pillows :) ), good air conditioning system that heated the room up in no time at all, microwave, coffee maker, toiletries, good quality towels, decent shower with a bath, hair dryer, plenty of storage space and coat hangers, iron/ironing board, fridge – in fact we wanted for nothing). The area was lovely, in that my wife and I had a wander around the top of the hotel’s property early on our first morning where we had a fantastic view of the mist over the valley, and also observed a herd of deer just outside the property. Our room was also very quiet as it was well away from the main road at the top end of the property, but this brings another little qualm, in that there is quite a steep hill to negotiate from the Reception to the block with our room in it – the Restaurant where breakfast is served is just across from Reception, so you have to go up and down this hill for your breakfast. It’s not too much of a problem if you’re fit and healthy, which luckily we are, but if you are in any way infirm then it could be, but I believe they have a buggy to collect and drop people off. We had dinner in the Restaurant on our first evening, which was very good, and the breakfast was also seriously great, in that there was everything you could think of available – I defy anyone not to consider the breakfast at this hotel quite something and truly a great meal to start the day. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, which gave a very homely feel to the place, which is added to by all of the objects in and around the place. There are so many wood carvings around, which made this hotel quite special. The Reception area is a lovely place to spend some time looking at all of the statues and other objects, but don’t forget to go upstairs to take a look around the shop – our friends ended up buying three ornaments that would undoubtedly have cost double the price had they been bought in England, if in fact they could have gotten anything similar in England. The more I look at the above review the more I consider just how good this hotel really was, but I’ve also re-read the review that I gave our top hotel and it does just beat this hotel into a close-run second place. However, I would still want to stay here again if we were in the area, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel, and thank them for their hospitality.

Our first time to Oakhurst, and staying at the Best Western was a very pleasant surprise. It is not your typical Best Western and I would highly recommend this property to all travelers. We were not expecting the super large rooms and comfortable beds, nor the wonderful staff who work the property. The restaurant food and overall experience was the best, especially given that the owner had painted all the of the room murals and paintings on the walls through the property herself. The setting on the side of the mountain is unique and beautiful. The pool and spa are small but the kids seemed to be having a great time, and the exercise room was clean and all of the equipment was in good condition.

This hotel was awesome! They are very friendly and love dogs! Dogs are allowed to be with you through the experience. While on our road trip and trying to find a hotel Tracie was amazing and helped us with everything we needed especially with our dog! Great stay!
