"Typically, rest here overnight in Pismo Beach due to mid-point from Marshall, CA, to Richmond, CA.
My late husband and I have been coming back well over 34 yrs. Immediately, at this visit, noticed a change! I just could not place my finger on it. No complaints all boxes checked ✅ off.
Checked in Easter 🐣 Sunday evening. Rested, surprisingly found parking right in front of my rented room. At Monday’s free breakfast (no complaints!), and after returning to my room. Picked up the Casa Grande Best Western hotel room legend. There is was in small print: “New Owners!”
Highly recommend this place! Hotel rooms cleaned, noticed a few downgrades, i.e., of the two key cards issued, only one key card was granting me entrance; I reserved room via Hotels.com and required to pay upfront in order to book!; Tissue Box vs. Kleenex Box; one-ply tissue vs. 2-ply; less trash cans in the room, less towels; less free room samples; and, on my checkout day by 9:00 a.m., maid knocking loudly, “Room Service!” Not ten minutes prior, called front desk to remind her I had a late check since I arrived about 7:30 p.m., and was granted extension until 12 noon.
Upgrades: Less expensive rooms; new waterfall w/lights (night); bushes hooked up with clear lights; more new flowers blooming (Calla Lillies), less employees (food, maids, gardners, staff); new big screen tv w/o the swivel, etc.
Upon my departure, felt as if this was a family-owned business."
