Best Western Plus Las Vegas West

The hotel has the feel of a chain, but is modern and tastefully decorated with framed art and hanging lamps in public areas. The lobby features blown glass vases next to a cluster of simple leather coaches and chairs with graphic-print area rugs. The breakfast room is similarly clean and modern. The area with the large L-shaped indoor pool and hot tub looks somewhat institutional, but is nonetheless a good escape from the desert heat.

The hotel is in the middle of a large asphalt lot with a fast-food restaurant next door and a mix of residential properties and businesses nearby. Boca Park and Village Square are accessible shopping destinations, reached by a quick car ride. The hotel is right near the suburban Las Vegas town of Summerlin, a largely residential community known for its large number of golf courses, as well as a fair number of retirement villages. The airport and the Strip are both a 20- to 25-minute drive away, so the hotel doesn't have the most convenient location for those wanting to be close to the casino scene. The Hoover Dam can be reached in about an hour as well.

The property’s 59 guest rooms have a decor reminiscent of a modern rec room, with black and beige patterned carpeting and curtains, and black and dark wood furniture. In 2015, the red throws on the beds were replaced with brown throws and matching bedskirts. The King Suite features a kitchenette while other spaces have mini-fridges and coffee machines. Flat-screen TVs and hairdryers are on hand as well. Bathrooms are a tight fit, but there’s a decent amount of room around the sinks.

The free breakfast includes hot foods like eggs and waffles as well as pastries and fruit. Families can enjoy the massive indoor pool, with a hot tub on the premises as well. In addition to the on-site laundromat, there’s a small workout room with a few machines and a business center with one desktop computer and a printer. Ample parking can be found directly outside the hotel in the large lot.
