    They were great all around from getting our rooms, and an awesome breakfast 6:30 to 10am. My kids loved it! Stephanie was amazing, I called in advance and she had everything ready when we got there. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you to all the staff that made our stay great! It also had parking large enough for our trail and truck to park not far from our room.

      In general most corporate Hotels are real good. We have stayed at different locations and like all of them. Now this review is for Best Western Melrose at Seabrook, TX, Many of the reviews for this location is from when the hotel was owned by another owner/group who previously owned the property. Look at current reviews from the past few months. The new owner has presently remodeled and prides himself with good service and a good cleaning staff. In many reviews of the property the pictures are old from the previously owners and Melrose is now with Best Western and has been remodeled extensively. It is no longer a Comfort Inn.

      The staff is very nice, accommodating too. The rooms are roomy and clean. I can't say it enough, very clean and new furniture and flooring etc. Someone said there was no fan in the bathroom, that is incorrect. It has a vent and is always on but you can't hear it. There is no switch for it. The shower is really nice and felt wonderful actually. I had to get extra towels and that was no problem. The AC works good.

      Breakfast was ok but I am vegan so there is that. They have fruit and a few other food items I could eat. Now for my husband, they have an egg omelet bar on weekends and you get to pick what you want. They had bagels and muffins and I like the chocolate and hope it was vegan but not sure. The hallways were clean and the outside also. Loved the bed and it was a king. We stayed 4 nights. I loved the Mediterranean Cafa and a Mexican Restaurant across the street. That was so convenient. We also went to one of the bars up where the water is. They had good fries.

      NASA was close by as was the Boardwalk and so was League City. I would for sure stay again. The owner was one of the nicest management personnel I have ever met and I am not related nor work for him or the company of BW. Just a tourist. I made the reservation with Sam on the phone. He was very helpful and nice also. Oh I didn't see one single bug, not one. Yay.

      I have stayed at Surestay {Best Western} in Lenoir City, Tn. many times while on business. The Owner Ken, the management, along with the staff are top notch! This particular Best Western will get you the biggest bang for your buck. The grounds and always clean and neat. Staff are always working to keep the Hotel's appearance nice. The rooms are clean with ample amenities. The BEDS ... the PILLOWS are the softest I have experienced. The rooms have always been well maintained and fully stocked daily to meet the lodgers needs. They have a breakfast daily for those who would rather sleep in and skip a crowded restaurant. If there are any needs - they can be met at the desk with a friendly smile from the staff. I have thoroughly enjoyed my quite stays at SureStay Lenoir City, Tn. I will continue my visits in the future!

      I recently had the pleasure of staying at the SureStay Hotel by Best Western Santa Cruz, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The room was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and restful environment. The bed was cozy, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The bathroom was spotless, equipped with all the necessary amenities, and the towels provided were fresh and of high quality. The room also featured a microwave and refrigerator, which were convenient for light meals and snacks. 

      The hotel’s location is another highlight, situated close to various shops and restaurants, making it convenient for guests to explore the area. The complimentary continental breakfast offered a variety of options, including a choice of breads, cereal, fruit, juice, yogurt, and more, providing a great start to the day.  The staff at SureStay were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any inquiries or requests. Their warm hospitality added a personal touch to the stay, making it even more enjoyable.

      One minor suggestion for improvement would be the addition of small face towels in the bathroom. While the provided towels were excellent, having smaller towels specifically for face washing would enhance the overall convenience and comfort. Overall, my stay at SureStay Hotel by Best Western Santa Cruz was outstanding. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and look forward to returning in the future!

      I booked a reservation for Best Western on the Best Western Website, which is not the best. I mistakenly booked it for the wrong day - the website kept bringing me back to the date I was booking, not the date I was reserving for. I called the number immediately after clicking the 'reserve' button to ask for help fixing my mistake. (8:45 pm I booked a room for that night when it was meant to be the next day). I was told on the phone that this couldn't be fixed by them and I had to contact customer relations the next day b/c they were closed for the day. I left a message for customer relations that night just in case they didn't want to help me the next day since time had passed.

      At 7am the next day I was on the phone and was told that customer relations could not fix this issue and I would need to contact the hotel directly. It took me calling over and over again for the hotel manager to finally call me back, telling me she couldn't fix it either but go ahead and book a room for the night and we could see if maybe a refund could come through but that I need to contact the booking agent - which was BEST WESTERN in the first place! I told her I couldn't afford to put another $300 on my credit card. She offered no help. So I am completely frustrated with Best Western and will never stay there again.

      When you read these reviews and people comment on how bad the hotel is. You should listen to them. I wish I had. My wife and I stayed at the Augusta Georgia Claussen Road hotel. Reviews were bad, booked anyway. The bed frames had rusty, sharp pieces of metal sticking out on the sides of both beds. My wife cut her ankle on this metal. Causing a deep bruise and cut. We were concerned about infection and contacted the front desk. Lady stated they would look into it. Last we heard. Metal still there two days later. We filed an accident report SIG Management. Followed up with several emails and calls. No reply. Next time you see a bunch of poor reviews it is because it is true.

      We made reservations to meet our children and grandchildren at the Sparta, WI, Best Western. We specifically chose this hotel for the fun-looking pictures of the pool and breakfast area to spend some time as a family. On arrival, we learned the pool was closed and had been closed for some time. Now I've read in other reviews it may have been years, but I don't know that. We asked for a refund of our reservation. Linda, the manager, was unmoving and seemed completely uncaring about our desire to not stay at her hotel that didn't offer the amenities it promised.

      She pointed out the website stated the pool was closed. We had 6 adults look over the website BEFORE we made the reservations, and none of us caught that, even when we were specifically looking for a pool for our little ones. We did find it hidden in a paragraph, first stating that the electric charge station was closed. Not needing electric charging, I must have thought the rest of the paragraph referred to that. The breakfast room was also roped off and dark. When we asked about that, she said it would open in the morning IF they had staff there to supervise!

      We have all traveled a lot over the years, and none of us had ever run into such a disingenuous situation at check-in. My husband and I were about to sign in, figuring we had no other choice, when Linda threatened to have us kicked out and call the sheriff! Luckily, the rest of our group was down the street renting time at the pool at another hotel since the kids were expecting to swim. After being threatened, we felt we were not safe there and decided to forgo the money we were already charged and stay elsewhere in town, not far away, where we were greeted with hospitality and respect, and a pool. I don't know what is going on with this hotel, but it is pretty obvious it is not hosting families and providing what the website boasts. Proceed with caution. I felt like we dodged a bullet, so to speak.

      First of all I booked a room through Trustpilot or Best Western Hotels, and they were liars. Liars, liars. I purchased the protection plan for in case I had to cancel the reservations and then when I called the number. All you get is AI. Finally got hold of a real person by the name of Stephen, who said that he had no way of canceling my reservation. And there were terms involved which I canceled based on weather, which was one of the terms you can use. He said that he tried to notify the front desk at the Best Western and Hazlet, where I booked and he said that he couldn't contact them. And then he said he couldn't contact them and he couldn't give us the direct phone number to the hotel.

      In Hazlet, he said he couldn't cancel the Reservations, even though I paid $16 for a cancellation fee. At any time no conditions involved, so I notified the Better Business Bureau and I notified the New Jersey State Attorney General's office about this. I wait to see if I get a refund. I notified Discover Card and I will dispute it and it shouldn't be a problem. I notified Best Western Hotel finally in Hazlet. Very nice lady answered the phone. She said that it had been canceled, but I don't know if they're going to charge me for it. I notified Discover again and they said I was billed for it, so I have a dispute going on with them in 10 days.

      I would not trust this agency. I think it stinks. They're liars, and it's a third party reservation. You can contact Best Western Hotel directly. Number is **. Only go through them. Don't go through the third party because they trick you, they're liars. And they're not the Best Western. I call them the Worst Western Hotel franchise.
