Super 8 Buttonwillow

This hotel did its job I guess. It was a place to sleep for the night. The room was a bit musty. I definitely didn’t walk around barefoot, and the tub was questionable although the shower water pressure was good. It’s obvious the owners are trying to improve it through remodeling bit by bit, but it’s not there yet. The staff is nice and the breakfast was good!

The review before me were right on. The pillows are flat like a pancake (not kidding) and the bed is as hard as a soft rock. I didn’t get much sleep, tossed and turned all night. It was clean and the staff was really nice, I like the wood floors instead of carpet and you do get breakfast in the cost of the room.
I wouldn’t stay were again unless they got new mattress and better pillows

At a low budget motel, located in a truck stop town, I would never set expectations high. It’s not a resort by any means, but I thought it was a value for my family to get a nights sleep and free breakfast while we are on a road trip. It was less than $ 50 with tax for a room with 2 beds. There were no funny odors, and the room seemed free of any unwanted guests and pests. It was surprisingly quiet, and employees were friendly. Sure, I wouldn’t use the shower or walk around barefoot, but I am even careful about that in high end hotels. There was wear and tear, and the bathrooms could use a remodel, but I’m glad we stayed here instead of getting a more expensive, shabbier, shadier room inside LA. I would come back. It’s worth it for my family of four, just to enjoy the carb loaded breakfast. The waffles were surprisingly delightful.

Very friendly. You get exactly what you pay for. Best deal you can find. Spent less than $ 50 and got free breakfast for 4 of us in the morning. The Golden Malted Waffle Maker is amazing.

This place is fine for what it is — a roadside motel. The value is terrific, less than $ 50 for a night. It is safe and clean and staff are courteous. There is no cow odor inside and the beds are fine. I’m glad I brought my own pillow, however.
They eliminated tacky carpet by laying down laminate, which I definitely prefer to gross carpet.
I’d stay here again.

Mattresses for the bed were uncomfortable. Pillows were about 3 inches thick. No support at all. TV listing next to bed showed TV channels from 2 to 55, yet there were only channels from 2 to 13. AC unit vent was broken and would only point straight up or straight down. Had to keep wedging something in it so air would blow straight out. Shower floor mat was about 12″ x 18″. This is the perfect size for a 3 year old. Towels were so rough that I literally scratched my forehead when drying my hair (I’m not kidding).
Only paid $ 47 for the room, and it’s obvious as to why. This hotel has NOT been updated like some others I’ve stayed at. And the continental breakfast was pathetic. Waffle iron and that’s it? No fresh fruit. No pastries. Just coffee. I booked this because of what it said online. Was very disappointed when I saw it.
The only plus was it was a very quiet hotel, so at least I didn’t hear the highway.

This place was the worst, old, dated, hard mattress, and fleas. you would be better off sleeping in your car. We stayed in 216 but get the feeling they are all terrible

Do NOT stay here. I am not just talking mess, seriously. LOUD pipe creaking ALL through the night on and off about every 30 minutes and lasted for about 5 mins. Terrible. I moved the side table to plug in my phone charger and the back of it was covered in small and tiny roaches… Which to me meant there are big ones somewhere. Clearly the floor had been swept around the base of the side table only for some time. Pay the extra $$ and stay somewhere else.

After long trip with kids, we decided to stay at this hotel. We stayed in rm 202, which is above office/​breakfast area. This hotel is EXTREMELY outdated and worn down. Room was stuffy so we turned on A/​C. The air was blowing straight to the bed/​floor closest to unit. There was a broken piece on a/​c which prevented us from controlling where cool air went, so we ended up placing a chair in front of a/​c to force air elsewhere and around room. Blanket had what looked like a cigarette burn with discoloration around it, possibly bleach? Breakfast was ok, standard continental bfast. The only thing is we had to fight off flies IN the breakfast area… literally fight off! Those flies are not afraid to be in your face and all over you!!! Maybe it was the weather? Anyhow, we decided to make our bfast to go and aet in our room instead. It was a decent stay overall.
Pros
Friendly staff
Quiet/​no loud noises
Comfy bed
Comfy pillows
Location right off the fwy5
Should have written this after check out. As we were gathering out things to check out, someone opens the door. It was housekeeping. NO KNOCK OR WARNING!!! She just opened the door!!! She mumbled so sorry and closed the door… awkward. …

clean. simple. nice courtyard. $ 60/​night. with fridge and microwave. will return in future when driving by.

Water leak in sink faucet, truck noise all night long cause it’s across the street from the Super 8.

This place hit the spot. We were going on a camping trip to Pinnacles National Park and Buttonwillow happens to be the halfway point. Pay attention here, we were going camping. That means we’re not the type of people who are going to be staying at the Ritz and we don’t expect all the fancy amenities. $ 50 was the perfect nightly rate. The room was clean enough. It didn’t smell like smoke or farms. It had a fridge, microwave, and free wifi. Water pressure was right on and the water was hot. The bed was comfortable and we didn’t even notice the traffic on the highway or nearby lots. Continental breakfast was nice and they even had the waffle maker where you could make your own waffles.
As long as your in the market for an under $ 75 a night room, you can’t go wrong here.

I checked in and went to work the next morning. When I got back at 3 p.m. my room window was wide open with a half broken screen. When I called and asked why my window had been left open the lady was rude and said we ventilate the rooms. I told her I had expensive personal items in here and there are no cameras or security in this motel. She was very rude and disrespectful yelling on the phone. I decided to stay another night and the next day when I return my coffee mug was missing. When I asked the man who seemed to be the owner he said it can’t be missing that he clean the room. Then I asked him why he went through the drawers and he denied it, and I specifically put one of their washcloths in the drawer to see if they would open them and he did. Not a very clean establishment to stay at no iron cheap TV however it was only 40 bucks cash or 45 on your card. I will not stay here again due to the rude lady dishonest owner and uncleanliness of this place. Do yourself a favor and check the rooms before you pay and rent them

Ready to wake up at 9 o’clock with blasting music from room cleaning. Everything is filthy and dirty in the room. Sleep in your car but not in here. this is definitely a place to take a hooker or arrange a drug deal… If that’s your thing…

HORRIBLE!!! STAY AWAY!!! Paid $ 60 for a room that was absolutely disgusting. It smelled like a urinal, the pillows & mattresses were dingy old and full of stains. My parents are disabled so changing hotels after an 8hr trip at 8:30 at night was out of the question. I absolutely do not recommend this place will NEVER stay here again. They don’t deserve a star but had to give it in order to leave comment.

So, so motel. Desperately in need of an update. Rooms are clean but some things need repair. Carpet could use replacing and mattresses worn. Very noisy air conditioner and old but it did the job on a very hot day. If we hadn’t been so tired I’d have found something nicer. Not my first choice by any means.

If you have any other option besides this hotel, take it! While the location is good for travelers on the I-​5 and the lobby is nice enough, that’s really all that can be said for this place. The room was old and outdated; the TV had only local channels (!!!); there wasn’t any internet, even though the staff said there would be; there was hair in the bathtub; and the walls were PAPER THIN. I mean, these were the thinnest walls I had ever encountered before. There was a group of guys staying in the room next to us and we could hear what they were saying — and they were not being loud. The breakfast was hardly adequate, but thankfully there was a Starbuck’s a few doors down! Also, aside from the fact that I slept very little due to the conversation going on next door and that I couldn’t bring myself to use the shower the next morning, possibly the worst thing about this hotel was the smell. Apparently, there are cattle feed lots nearby — and you can really, really tell. Our hair smelled like manure by the time we left. Can’t say I’d ever stay here again.

The tranquil town of Buttonwillow was a little slice of heaven. I was on a mission trip to Mexico and this Super 8 was THE PLACE for our group to stop, get some sleep, and be refreshed. From the continental breakfast to the wet toilet paper to the luke warm hot tub you can’t complain. Laughs were had and memories were made. I know someday I will return to the oasis that is the Super 8 Motel in Buttonwillow.

It’s a super 8 hotel on the 5.
You know what to expect.
I’d rather sleep in my car, but I was unfortunate enough to be driving a Mini Coupe. Now that’s a car you can’t sleep in.
But for $ 50. It wasn’t too bad.
If you have to, do it, but don’t get all excited.

I booked a room here 3 weeks in advance for a NASA racing event at Buttonwillow Raceway. I specifically asked for an inner courtyard room (away from the road/​5 freeway). However, when I got to the hotel, I was given a room facing the main road and TA truck stop. To add insult to injury, the room was a handicap room with a sit down shower and other weird amenities made for a person in a wheel chair that was NOT compatible with an upright lifestyle.
I complained and the only thing that was available otherwise was another handicap room that was a smoking room. I decided that it would be an exercise in compassion towards all the handicapped folks who have to stay in non-​handicapped rooms the rest of the time. Even the peep hole was at waist level for me.
My room stunk so bad that I walked a whole 50 feet to the truck stop and bought a pine hanging tree air freshener and put it on the heater vent. This did not mask the stink. The room smelled like a wet ass regardless of my attempts.
The floor was disgusting. The carpet felt wet and clammy to the point where I just wore shoes 100 percent of the time, even to the shower. I only took my shoes off to sleep and to shower, where I had to squat and hose myself off like some kind of weird dog because I did not want to sit on the bench for handicapped showering times.
There were unidentified stains on the walls and on the bedcover. The TV was microscopic and only got a few channels that came in as if they were beamed in from another planet and recieved by an aluminum foil antenna. The clock radio, fridge and lights all whined and hummed so bad that by the end of the night, I think I had unplugged every object in the room but I still could not sleep because of how disgusting everything was and how loud everything was.
The walls are so thin, I could hear my neighbor snoring. I also heard him wake up, take his morning dump and then have a phone conversation about what to do about his son Jeff who was doing bad in school. Then he took a shower. This was all at 5am. Next, the upstairs neighbor woke up. I will spare you the similar details. Luckily, it was not a romantic hotel.
I really had no option but to stay here for both days and I must say that this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, which is actually saying a lot because I travel a lot, I have always travelled a lot and I go to a lot of weird little towns that have race tracks a lot. Nevertheless, I was blown away at how disgusting my room was and how loud the freeway/​road noise/​truck stop noise was. There were also a bunch of dudes staying there having a massively loud party that went from around 6pm to 2am. Luckily, they were far enough away from my room that the road noise drowned them out.
DO NOT STAY HERE! Seriously. I will post a review of another hotel next time I stay in Buttonwillow but for now, you just have to trust me, this place is THE WORST!
Last, forget about trying to use the WiFi. A this place claims to have it, and maybe if you want to check your email in the super gnarly and disgusting lobby while the front desk girl is hanging out with all her friends, you MIGHT get a signal BUT there was 0 signal in my own room about 4 doors down…
