Room was comfortable and clean, and area around hotel safe with dining options. Hotel lobby, hallway and room smelled strongly of weed. Thin walls and noisy neighbors made for difficulty sleeping well.

Stay Elsewhere!
Mattresses were in terrible condition and should have been replaced a couple of years ago. The room had a strong unpleasant odor. The toilet only flushed intermittently.

This place is awful! The staff is super nice, but that’s about the only thing this place has going for it. The first room I checked in for had poop on the toilet rim and smelled so strongly of urine that I had to be moved. The next room had a musty ash tray smell that was bearable with the window open. Everything looked clean but it was so dingy and

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.

Friendly employees close to shopping center and nice area
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

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.

The parking lot felt unsafe, frankly creepy. The room reeked of cigarette smoke, many people clearly live there. I did not stay
