The southbound rest stop is across the freeway and is a popular stopping spot for travelers.

Yes, the Lakehead Rest Area (southbound) was closed when I was here. Thankfully, I was ready for disappointment.

It has been a while since I encountered a rest area with an actual pile of poop in one of the men's…read moreroom stalls. And that was also in California though 600 miles from here on I-10. Yes, this men's room was in extremely poor condition. Paper and water on the floor, one stall out of toilet paper and human waste in another. Thankfully, I am self-contained in the van so I have the option of skipping over this. Others do not. So why two stars and not one? Because other than the condition of the rest room, the parking area is good. Level, far enough from the highway to skip the worst of the noise and no signs limiting the time I could stay. The rest area is quite small and there isn't another one for close to an hour to the south. I suggest that if you need a break, go just a little further and hit up the Love's Truck Stop. You'll thank me later. [Review 20525 overall - 474 in California - 1506 of 2023.]

The lobby was sparkling clean and the desk assistants were all nice. They have free coffee through the day/evening. There is an indoor pool and spa. The pool was clean and the spa was a bit cloudy . Have to get your pool Towels at the front desk and the attendant said to take them to your room after use. The hotel is smaller and 2 floors and has an elevator. The room was clean and there wasn't any mold or peeling paint, leaks ect. The bed was comfortable and there was a small fridge, K-cup machine, and microwave. The air conditioner worked just fine. I didn't hear any noise or other guests and there wasn't any critters. Only thing was a faint hint of cigarette smoke can be smelled if someone decided to go outside, it came in from outside the vent or something. But very light smoke smell. There was a small hot breakfast every morning. Juice, eggs toast or muffins , waffles were pretty good. That area stayed clean at all times. I'd recommend staying here if a budget hotel stay is up your alley. You can tell that care is put into keeping up the place as much as they can.

Historically, I near always check for yelp reviews before booking somewhere, but Oops, I did not this time. Now I'm going back to ALWAYS lookING on Yelp before booking, even after comparing travel sites. The info I needed to not choose the BW+ is all laid out here. First the good: -The lobby and dining space were clean, as well as our second room. I was particularly happy to see a mold free shower curtain. -my kids enjoyed the waffles. The bad: -Our booked room (on 2nd floor) wreaked heavily of cigarette smoke. The smell hit us like a brick as I opened the door. Unfortunately, my kids and I had lugged in a TON of stuff from our car, as we were on an our way to spending 2 weeks in SLO, and didn't want to leave anything in our car over night. I hung out with our things, while my kids spoke to the desk about a room change. When they came back it was with a key to a room on the 1st floor on the opposite side of the building, which meant we then had to lug all of our things down a floor, and then more. The second room was thankfully cigarette smoke free. -The bedding is cheap, thin and scratchy. -There was nowhere to plug in USB cable. -We only had 2 sets of towels in the second room, and had to go back to the front desk to get the 3rd, when we had 3 people. There are also no to pool towels in the rooms. You have to get those from the front desk as well. -The pool deck was alive! I'm not kidding. There was definitely mold covering the entirety of the floor, as well as something that resembled moss. It was so gross I cleaned our shoes in our room's shower after. Ugh, and I felt it with my bare feet. I braved going in the hot tub as I was stiff and sore from the 8 hour drive, but it was not hot, not even as hot as I like for a bath... which means a bacteria haven! The jets are right at seat level, so they only hit your bum, and are really weak at that. I'm only 5'5 and a half, and the water came just below my chest while sitting. For me the whole point of a hot tub is to soak my body, which was impossible even while slouching. The front desk person was terse, and seemed unhappy to be there working with customers. When I asked if they had dairy free/milk alternatives at the breakfast bar, I was given a flat "no". Same for gluten free besides the eggs, which were all but inedible. I'm pretty sure the eggs had been the pre-made microwaveable type, like the ones they serve on cheap coach flights. This was really disappointing, as besides the Tesla charger, and the proximity to I-5, the breakfast buffet was the reason I booked this BW+. I ended up having to get something to eat elsewhere after checking out. - Lastly, the Best Western Plus wasn't even a particularly good deal $, but I figured free breakfast and pool for the kids would make it up. It did not. 2025 #1
