Towneplace Suites By Marriott Ridgecrest

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I loved our stay in the Towneplace Suites by Marriott in Ridgecrest, California. The property was spotlessly clean, with our room also being welcoming with comfortable beds and a beautiful bathroom with lots of fluffy towels. We also enjoyed the included breakfast, which had a great selection of items. The staff were very helpful and gave us suggestions regarding where to go to dinner."
