Top Ridgecrest Hotel Reviews

America Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very friendly and accommodating. Room was very clean and bed comfortable. AC worked well. Will stay again . Not fancy but very nice place to spend a night in Ridgecrest"

Days Inn by Wyndham Ridgecrest near China Lake Naval Station

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the Air Conditioner was running when we arrived. Ridgecrest is a rough place in the summertime, with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees on a regular basis. I've stayed at hotels that didn't have the AC running when we arrived, and it was a struggle to cool down the room. It was such a relief to arrive to a pre-cooled room. Thank you!"
