Best Western Plus Palm Court Hotel

Excellent service, clean room, great location, underground parking. Wi-​fi service not great but otherwise a wonderful experience and we would definitely stay there again.

i complained earlier about the cancellation policy and wanted to update my comment. First, in response to my Unilocal complaint, the hotel called and said that they would not charge me for the night. They said they could use discretion in applying their policy. I inquired further about their policy and was told that if you do not cancel within 48 hours then you are charged one full night. This is not necessarily Best Western policy, since each hotel is individually owned and operated. If you can cancel and the hotel is able to sell your room for the reserved night, then they will not charge you. We are supposed to trust the hotel to report this to consumers.
Personally, I find this policy to be rather problematic and it is not clearly articulated on the website.

I am writing this to warn everyone not to stay here. It has a great location sure but the staff is SO rude and the rooms are not what they seem like online. I cannot believe this hotel still has it’s doors open! They are not accommodating at all. If you ask for a wake up call– u won’t get one. For your own sake don’t stay here. Usually best western is fine but it’s this hotel in particular that is awful!

Great location at very reasonable price. We had a small suite during August 2014 for 160 a night which was great. No breakfast provided which was fine because there is an awesome café next door with a connecting door to hotel. Like having your favourite café in your hotel. Room was excellent.

OVER PRICED for a late night check in. The front desk was very «robotic» in processing our reservation. She lacked any customer service skills and snapped when we asked, «is there a pool»? NO POOL & we weren’t even offered help with our bags. We were just told where the elevators were to our room. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable, however, the air conditioner was very loud and woke me up every time it kicked on.

I had a pleasant stay here while visiting Davis. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. There was free Wi-​Fi, a fitness room on the third floor, and complimentary toiletries provided. There is a bar adjoining the hotel on one side and a café on the other side. It is centrally located in Davis, about 5 minutes from the eastern edge of campus, and near many restaurants, bars, and hang-​out spots in town.
The bathroom in my room was a bit small and the shower faucet a bit confusing to operate, but it’s no big deal. Overall a nice place to stay and definitely recommended.

I’ve stayed here several times. I like it and would stay here again. The restaurant and bar are good as well.
I’m knocking off one star because your evening desk guy did not set my wake up call for 4am as i requested and i was late.

I stayed there for a night on the way back from Lake Tahoe to San Diego. I loved the location. Right on the corner, very close to restaurants, cafes and bars, where all those UCD students are hanging out :)
Rooms were nice, quiet and very clean. I enjoyed my stay there and I recommend it for a sleepover between long trips.

One of the nicer places to stay when visiting Davis, and one of the best locations. In the heart of not-​so-​bustling :) downtown, has a great bar and café, and is around the corner from the main street with bars, restaurants and cafes, close to movie theaters and blocks away from campus. Definitely one of the best located hotels in Davis. The parking garage is a plus. Free wifi is a huge plus. The Queen or King room we stayed in was a suite layout, with doors separating the bedroom from the living room area. Living room has a desk, desk chair, TV, and couch/​pullout bed area. We were only 2 but there was enough room for a group of people to stay if that is something you are looking for. They serve a free continental breakfast as well. Service was fine, we were greeted by a friendly receptionist and the maids were friendly and efficient. We’ll be back again.

The Palm Court Best Western is centrally located in the downtown area. Park your car in underground parking (no charge) and walk any where you desire. Important Note: the hotel is not near the train tracks. This is also key if you want quite time in your room.
The rooms are suites.

Stayed at the Palm Court over Picnic Day weekend, and had a great time! Service was prompt, and the room was very spacious! Would have rated it 5 stars, but I happened to get the one room that had a window with a view of the lobby, haha.

We used this hotel for a company meeting and found the service to be abyssmal. The woman at the front desk (Maya) was so rude and uncooperative that it tainted our whole experience. She was «put out» by even the most innocuous of our request so we ended up avoiding her so as not to have our «head bitten off.»
Ironically, this bad experience brought our work team together in that we all rallied together as we shared stories of the cranky hotel staff.
Next time, we’ll bring our business elsewhere.

Wow, this really was a really good hotel experience in Davis.
The place itself is very clean and well-​maintained. It was around when I was at Davis (which was kind of a while ago) and to see that it’s still in excellent condition is great. We experienced friendly service upon arrival and the room was in great condition when entering the room. The bathroom was stocked with Bath & Body Works toiletries, which were nice. There is underground parking available, which is a great convenience in Davis.
This hotel is centrally located in downtown Davis and within walking distance to all the spots in the area. I would recommend this hotel to anyone… I was here for Picnic Day and it was a perfect location to be in.

The Palm Court Best Western is a small place, as in only 27 rooms for the entire building. However, every room is a suite!
Checking in was a breeze. The guy at the desk was able to check me in while still on the phone. That was fine with me. I was impressed.
The room is a spacious place for the money. Living area and a sleeping area separated by a quasi French Door. Two TVs are in the room along with a desk and a couch. Even at ground level above the parking driveway was a quiet experience inside. A/​C worked very well. There’s no shortage of light inside. The bathroom feels a bit cramped with only the toilet and shower inside with the sink outside in the bedroom area.
I loved the lobby area with plenty of comfortable seating both at ground level and on the upstairs floors. I didn’t see many people use it though. Maybe it was just a quiet weekend.
Interesting to note that this establishment has a sauna as well as fitness room. There is a bar and restaurant on site. The bar has a great local drink called the wiki. Be careful… it’s a strong one. The café is alright but I still would walk down the street to crepeville. The drawback to this is that there’s no continental breakfast option here. Only coffee and biscotti.

Headed back to Davis, California for a college reunion trip with friends…
THE SCOOP:
We got a great deal here and somehow managed to get an upgraded suite room at regular price (through internet travel sites). Hotel was located in downtown Davis, had underground parking, a nice lobby, our room had an adjoining sitting room area with two flat screen TVs, bed/​sheets were great, A/​C worked well (which is a plus in Davis), and room was quiet and clean! Location is great within walking distance of downtown shops/​restaurants and the UC Davis campus. Hotel has a wonderful café-​style restaurant with DELICIOUS FOOD!
THE POOP:
The bathroom was clean and adequate but a little small and cramped, towels, shower and amenities were average.
THE RECOMMENDATION:
Yes!

I’m writing this review from my room. I booked a room with a queen bed, and it turns out all the rooms are suites with French doors dividing the living room from the bedroom. Sweet suite. :cough:
Plush accommodations for a BW, and conveniently located on B Street between UC Davis and the downtown scene. The adjoining restaurant is Café Bernardo, a Randy Paragary joint, which means that the food is pretty darned good, though not transcendent. (We ate elsewhere.)
Café Bernardo’s bar was okay, but will forever be known in my mind as having served me the worst whiskey sour ever made. The bartender warned me: Our sour mix is the worst ever — way too sweet. Do you want me to put some lime juice in it?
Sure. Put some lime juice in that.
Sweet Jesus H. Christ in a tub of simple syrup… it was like pineapple juice with six lumps of sugar. My pancreas squirted out all the insulin it had and then leapt from my body, sprinted over to the café side of Café Bernardo, and volunteered for sweetbreads duty. The bartender asked if it was still too sweet, but the only response I could muster were these weird little hummingbird cheeps.

I used to have a place in Davis back when I was a student, so when it came to having a small family reunion not to far from Davis I needed a place to crash. Now most of my friends have since moved away and I think the days of me passing out on a questionably clean floor have long since passed… I always knew of this hotel since it was located directly below Café Bernado

Naturally, I did revisit my old favorite watering hole, I was able to enjoy getting liquored up with a few old friends and by the end of the night I stumbled up the elevator to get back to my room! No more did I have to have a friend sacrifice his/​her evening as the DD… No more did I have to face the horrid car ride back home, of having to deal with 7+ people in a little compact car and one of the people in the car is on the verge of yackin… The room was really nice and clean, the sheets felt really soft and for the price, with my AAA discount it came to 60 something bucks. They had a private lot that was underground, and they let myself and allowed me to have an additional spot for one of my friends. The staff was really accommodating and immediately sent someone to the room to give us additional toilet paper and also fix a broken television set. I am sure that during the times of graduation, picnic day and high school tour visits that this place will fill up quickly. So for those special occasion book it early. The continental breakfast was a croissant, danish, a few pieces of fruit and coffee, nothing amazing but it was free, that’s always makes something taste good.
