I’m not a frequent visitor to the Best Western chain but I did try this location while on our drive north up the California coast and was very pleasantly surprised. http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/productInfo.do>The Best Western Country Inn in Fortuna, California is well-run, clean and a refreshing change from many of the higher-priced coastal properties. Once in a while, the wallet needs a break, and this is the perfect place to give it a rest. But, you’re not giving up comfort or service!The rooms are spacious and well-appointed. They have Wi-Fi connection, mini refrigerator, plenty of drawer space, nice shower, coffee-maker, and good lighting. A complimentary morning breakfast is offered in their small but efficient dining area, off of the main lobby. And this isn’t just your standard cold cereal and a granola bar…you’ll find real scrambled eggs and sausage along with waffles. Their hospitality wouldn’t be complete without the fresh-baked cookies in the lobby near the front desk. The property also offers a pool and Jacuzzi in the main building.
One of the nicest features though is that there is a very good restaurant within walking distance of the motel, http://www.eelriverbrewing.com/>The Eel River Brewing Company. Katie, our waitress couldn’t have been more helpful or more efficient. It was a delicious and affordable dining experience.
