Best Western Orchard Inn

We literally counted 12 flies in the room, and one quarter-​sized spider crawling all over the ceiling. Couldn’t sit in the room without a fly trying to land on your or get in your face.

This is absolutely the worst place to go. I had a horrible experience I drove 400 miles to get there and checked in the guy at the counter was an ass I went up to my room and tried to call down for a wake up call no one would answer. I try calling from my cell phone to the front desk no one would answer. I walked down to the office with my cell phone and there was nobody in the office that I could see I called the office from my cell phone and the phone was ringing so I yelled hey and this guy came around the corner with a big attitude and I said hear that phone ringing that’s me I’m trying to get a wake up call. So he tells me you don’t need a wake up call as a matter of fact you can go pack your stuff and leave. I told him I had a long day and I’m not going anywhere. So he threatened to call the cops on me and followed me to my room. I close the door in about 30 minutes later I get a call on the phone in the room it’s the guy at the front desk telling me he’s wants to know what truck is mine out there because he’s having it towed. Sorry responded that I’m not going to tell him and I put my boots back on and walked on the balcony with my phone and key card to get in the room to check on my truck to make sure it wasn’t getting towed. He comes up the stairs and tells me I told you you’re not staying here I said don’t mess with my truck and I tried to walk back to my room and my key card wouldn’t work on my room anymore he locked me out. So I confront him about it I said it’s against the law to lock me out and he said you’re going to wait outside till the cops get here. The cop show up 45 minutes later and talk to him first then he comes up to me and says he wants to refuse service to you you need to pack your stuff up out of the room and leave so I told him I can’t get back in the room he locked me out and that’s where things changed. The officer told me he can’t lock me out of the room and he’s gonna go have a talk with him and come right back the officer came back with the key card for me to get in the room and told me don’t have anymore confrontation with him and I told him it’s no problem I have an early morning start real. Real bad experience with this motel watch your ass if there’s anything else in the area you can find please do so

run away now!! we got 2 rooms .1^st room cockroaches. …2^nd in bathroom was someone’s underwear sock used soap dirty towels .not cleaned after last person. .run.run far away. .any hotel that doesn’t clean after the room was used imagine what else isn’t being cleaned… claims someone just slept so all they did was change the sheets. sorry no refunds… hotel​.com was booking agent no refund… runnnnnn…or your gonna be screwed… tv kept shutting off. cable lousy fuzzy picture.

Not the Best. Light bulbs missing or removed. Only one or of 3 over the vanity! Ceiling and corners dirty. Hallway to back side rooms very dim. Shower walks covered with soap scum. HVAC unit dirty.

Even for the price… this place was AWFUL. We rented 2 rooms. My sister’s room had a cockroach in the bathtub and our room smelled like cigarette smoke (and it was a non smoking room). When my daughter got into her «clean» bed, there were small «twigs» (which smelled like marijuana) in her sheets.
We were moved to another room that was on the other side of the hotel. It did not have the awful smoky smell, but it was far from clean. The walls were dirty, the floor had stains and I was afraid of what may be under the sheets that I couldn’t see.
After returning in the evening after being gone all day… our room was not cleaned! When I went to the front desk I was told it only said room «not serviced» on the housekeeping sheet. No other explanation was offered.
Also, the breakfast-​although free-​was horrible. Everything tasted microwaved except for the waffles that they practically forced you to take as soon as you walked into the room.
With all of the hotels in the area, I would think that you would want to have repeat guests? That you would want to offer decent rates, but still give decent service? Well, not here!
My advice, pay a little more and have the piece of mind that you will not have to deal with this establishment.

The room was ok. My husband slipped and fell in the shower because there was not a bath matt inside the tub/​shower and it was not coated with anything to prevent slipping. When I contacted the front desk, they had no clue what to do. In the three additional hours we were at the hotel no one asked, called or stopped by our room to checked on my husband. I left my name, number and email with the staff to have the manager. (Edwin) contact me. He did 48 hours later and asked me what I wanted. It wasn’t their fault. He didnt even ask how my husband was. So sad. Terrible customer service !! Do not stay at this hotel if you want any customer service at all.

What I liked:
— Free breakfast
— Free wifi (around 11 megabits download)
— Clean room
— Working AC
— Spacious
— Well lit throughout
— Great price per nightly stay
— Only a few minutes away from an outdoor mall with variety of restaurants to dine at
What I didn’t like
— No elevator to 2^nd floor
— Quite noisy with freeway traffic on one end and street traffic on other end

For some reason when we checked in the front lobby smelled like cat urine. The guy behind the counter who came out from the back to check me in looked like he had just woken up and buttoned up about half of his shirt. The room was hot but fortunately the AC worked pretty quickly once it kicked in. The absolute worst part of staying here though was the dirty sheets. There were hairs and stains on absolutely everything and all of the pillows were lumpy, overstuffed, half-​sized throw pillows. If you want to engage in some seedy motel behavior, check this place out. If you want a good nights’ sleep, look elsewhere.

Me and my fiancé enjoyed our stay and it was a great price! I don’t see why people give this place a bad review. Great free breakfast and wonderful staff. It’s was really quiet, the bed was really comfortable, great channel line up for the tv. The only thing is the pillows could have been longer, they were too small for me. The room had great amenities as well and the A/​C was awesome. I would stay here again if I needed to.

Stayed 3 nights here with our two babies. I agree for the price and location I wouldn’t expect much more. Our room was clean each night we came back from the campsite near by.
said it was closer than it really was to the campsite (where our whole family was staying), so it was a longer drive to and from there. and we saw many hotels closer that looked much nicer. You can tell it was a motel that best western bought out and tried to make it nicer. Some small things really bug me. Shower head was so weak it felt like a veggie mister in the stores, the bathroom door layout was weird. If it was open you couldn’t get to the sink behind it outside the bathroom and it squeaked so loud!
Bed was firm and uncomfortable.
Next time we know there are more options and will probably stay elsewhere. Not really because of the small details that make a stay nicer, but more because of location. It was really isolated!
Overall. It was OK.

There is one guy at the front desk that is just plain rude. Other than that an okay place to stay.

I stay here from time to time when in town. There is a lot that is ok about it – I like the rooms fine, though they are not as fancy as some of the bw plus properties, it is pretty good for Turlock. I was bummed today though that I left at 10 am, returned at 9:30 PM, and my room had not been cleaned when I returned. I was sure to NOT leave to leave the privacy sign up because I wanted it cleaned. When I sadly trekked down to the office to get towels and coffee for the morning, I was told it wasn’t cleaned because there were only two people to clean 50 rooms this morning. To that I say: hire enough people so you are not inconveniencing the customer. This is NOT the kind of place that will give you a discount because they failed to clean your room. It IS the kind of place where they don’t have enough people working to provide the minimum level of acceptable service, so this may happen to you if you stay here.

I don’t how this hotel got a plus rating. The room was mediocre. One of lamps didn’t work, the room did not have a flat screen tv like other Best Western hotels we stayed at up north. Our WiFi did not work. It gave us low signal. The breakfast was decent. The desk clerk was not very pleasant. The room was clean and the beds were ok. I would not stay here, as there are other Best Western hotels to choose from around this area.

Eh… it’s fine for the price. I’ve stayed here a few times but after the last I probably won’t come back. It’s really not as clean as it should be and the last time I had a rather large bug land next to me on my pillow. DO NOT stay in the room next to the «breakfast room» you can hear everything in the morning!
Overall it’s cheap, so if you just need a place to sleep go for it.

I would stay here again. It is a good deal for what it is, and great for business travel. The internet is weak farther from the office. The breakfast is unremarkable, but there are eggs, sausage and waffles. Not just the spread of cheap pastries and bagels that some hotels call breakfast. The room was comfortable and had a microwave and fridge.

AAA and Hotwire has this place rated at 3 stars, I think not! It was right next to the freeway a lot of noise. The outside of the place could use some work, the room was ok, bed seemed ok and it was pretty clean, other than that, the breakfast was more not much of anything I would ever consider eating, not only was it lacking there was not enough space to house all the people who were there, the one attendant was like the gastopo of the breakfast room, coffee yuck, fake eggs yuck, etc. Might stay here again only if something else was not available. I have no idea why they rate Fairfield Inn lower than this place really not right. Also the staff was really non existent and rude.

CHEAP QUICK CLEAN
Note to rating: I have experienced better, but not for the price. If you are coming from the Bay and going to Yosemite or any other High Sierra National Parks, the cheapest and most convenient place to stay is at this roadside Best Western.
There was no noise whatsoever in the rooms, even though the hotel is immediately next to the freeway. At time of writing, a pleasantly decorated 2 queen room plus their (edible if uninteresting) hot breakfast was 68 a night with Kayak or
.
Note: Looking for Turlock? Look for Modesto

If you’re going to check in late, make sure you have their number because the guy working is probably just going to sit in the back while he has 3 customers waiting in the lobby. We got in late and wanted to do a quick check in, but ended up waiting in the lobby for 20 minutes. Another party shows up and was not too happy either. Luckily, the bf was smart, called the front desk and the dude was sitting in the back sleeping!!!
Rooms are not bad. They decorated the beds nice. Pretty convenient with the microwave and fridge. This place is meant for truckers are people traveling long ways. Their continental breakfast is not something to brag about. They do server waffles and there’s a nice girl who will make them for you.

Do you like flies? Lots and lots of flies? Does the idea of sleeping without a heater when it’s 40 degrees outside sound appealing to you? Then this Best Western is for you!
My family traveled up to Turlock to spend some time with relatives during the holiday. It had just started to get cold and the flies traveled indoors in a bitter attempt to survive the last few days of fall. The hotel’s solution to the problem was giving us a fly swatter. Which they then took away. There were literally at LEAST 5 flies in my room at all times.
The heater was broken, which added to our discomfort. They said they would discount our room rate for the inconvenience. The discount ended up being $ 10.
Foster farms is up the street. The smell of manure and chicken shit never leaves the air.
The linens were crap, scratchy, the beds were made out of Jell-​O AND to top it all off there was a dog show in town the weekend we were there. Howling, whining, barking and dog fights could be heard from rooms all around us.
They didn’t change the linens on our bed for one of the nights because a pair of pants were left on the bottom of the bed and it’s their policy to not touch people’s private items.
They DO have HBO for free, but Cathouse wasn’t on any of the nights I stayed at the hotel. That’s minus one star just for that.
I would never EVER stay here again. But then again, it’s really the only game in town so you might just be S.O.L., but I’ve thought up a solution for you. Don’t go to Turlock. Or sleep in your car.

Nice, neat, $ 97 incl. tax and no complaints.
