“Entirely satisfying convenient motel”

This motel is at the same exit as the Harris Ranch, where we like to break our trip from southern to northern California, it's our halfway mark. We like to have a steak at the Harris Ranch for dinner but we are entirely satisfied with the excellent continental breakfast at the Big Country Inn, which included yoghurt and hard-boiled eggs, so we got a high-protein start. The motel has Internet connections and refrigerators and microwaves in the rooms. The rate was excellent; it was a good value.

“Not located in Coalinga”

Newly redecorated. Nice room. It is located conveniently off I-5. However, it is not in Coalinga proper. Just a FYI.

“definitely will go back!”

More than we expected--with breakfast avaliable and the wonderful reception received at the desk!

“Clean, and confortable”

Clean and comfortable. Very close to freeway and restaurants. Very close to about other five hotels.

“Clean with good wi-fi.”

Room was clean and comfortable. The wireless Internet connection was very good.

“one night stay in Coalenga”

clean,cozy,fufilled all of our needed-good breakfast

“good choice when on I-5”

The hotel is located in Coalinga, right off Interstate 5, so the location is very convenient for travelers. The little bungalows are cute and well-maintained on the outside, with grass in-between the wings which makes things pleasant. The rooms are sort of a hodge-podge of decoration, with greenish-yellow walls in the bathroom and vanity area, and a reddish color elsewhere. The carpet doesn't match either color and the sofa (which supposedly hides a queenbed) was stained and looked dirty so we didn't sit on it at all. The room did have a micro-fridge which was convenient. The bathroom was very clean and well-stocked with shampoo, condiitioner and body wash in big dispensers. Good to not have little bottles! The room was quite large and had a nice desk, but no flat-screenTV. We got in very late and left early, so no time for tv anyway. Breakfast the next morning was more than adequate, served in a sunny room including canned fruit cocktail, waffles you could make yourself, plastic-wrapped pastries, some fresh breads, fresh apples and oranges, juices, and cereals. Also, there were scrambled eggs. We did not leave hungry! All in all, this is probably the best bet along I-5 in this area and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The only problem in this town is the smell from the Harris Ranch lots, but that is EVERYWHERE!

“Very Satisfied-Will Stay again on next trip”

Great place to stay when traveling between Reno, NV and LA, Good half way place to stop.

“PLEASE GIVE DIRECTIONS.”

The hotel management were sympathetic about our problem with finding them but somebody should have been aware a long time ago that this could happen. They kept pointing out that the hotel was in fact in Coalinga, but nevertheless when traveling we refer to a reliable map, and that map showed the road to Coalinga town, not district.

“Impressed with room and service.”

The room was spacious and clean. Appeared to have been recently remodeled. Breakfast was included in the room rate and was more than adequate (fresh fruit, cereal. juice, fresh waffle, etc.) We would stay there again.
