Comfortable
We've stayed at John Muir hotel in Martinez before and noticed they have done some nice upgrades to the bathroom. We always feel comfortable there and it suits our needs. Unfortunately the elevator wasn't working and we had to carry our luggage upstairs. Thank goodness it was only one floors. The staff is very friendly and it's a good location, close to a shopping plaza.

Great place to stay great customer service .
Our room was so nice and comfortable. Very happy it has the spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower . The gentleman at the front desk is so courteous and welcoming. I just can not say one negative thing about our stay here. I highly recommend the Best Western John Muir Inn in Martinez Ca.

Breakfast was good, but it felt a bit uncomfortable having staff stand there watching you take food. Tv wasn’t hooked up and the microwave and television just went out. The maintenance man thought it was a power cord issue and couldn’t find one so we had to relocate to another room in the evening. My mom and I had to pack up all of our stuff including her Walker to find another room that was on a different floor. The room wasn’t easy to locate and the front desk person had to help us find it. He also had a problem finding the room. The second room was a better room. The original accessible room didn’t have a shower chair. The front desk manager lacked people skills when she was presented with our issues. Her focus was on the timing of us changing rooms oppose to the accessibility issues we had with changing rooms. There was a guest who was hostile with another front desk attendant who chose to engage in the disagreement oppose to diffuse the issues out of the integrity of other guest or as a representation of leadership. My mom and I were uncomfortable as people are unpredictable these days and that guest was highly upset. As a professional corporate trainer who specializes in leadership training I can say there are many areas of improvement that needs to be made in management and accessibility inclusion. I’d love to teach!

Find somewhere else if you can afford it.
Hallways smelled faintly of urine, gaps in curtains amd door let in outside light, and the door seemed as if it had been kicked in sometime in the past. Cheap place.

Bad Experience
After we checked in, the TV in the room was not working. I took the remote to the front desk. I made 3 extra trips back to the front desk after maintenance guy couldn't fix. The front desk clerk had an attitude. Finally after realizing that there was an issue, the clerk put us in a room that had been freshly painted and smelled. At this point, we were already there 1hr waiting to get the TV fixed. The smell was horrible. The only good thing is that I always travel with a little fan and helped push the smell out. Clerk needs to be more proactive and a little nicer to customers

I was very disappointed with my stay at this Best Western. The room was outdated and poorly maintained, with tiles falling apart. The breakfast room was dirty, and the food was cold, lacking in quality and variety. Most staff were friendly, but the kitchen manager was especially rude and unhelpful, which added to the unpleasant experience. Additionally, the hot tub was out of order, and the pool was dirty and filled with leaves. Overall, my experience fell far below expectations.

This property is one of the only one's in Martinez. I arrived late at night with an open mind, but found loiterers in the neighboring parking lot that made me uncomfortable. It looked like some people who lived out of their cars. At the property, my bedspread had a poop stain. The second night someone was cooking in the inside hallway next to my room on the carpet. When I tried to report it, I rang the front desk three times and no one answered. The management team didn't seam concerned the next morning when I tried to report it. My last night there, I needed to leave at 3 am. Someone was sitting on a chair on the second floor when I came in at 10 pm and was still there at 3 am! I think it might have been someone off the streets with a bag next to them. Safety is not their primary concern-that was a problem for me.
