    I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to share that my recent stay at the Best Western Inn & Suites in Fort Myers, Florida, was one of the best experiences I have had in many years of travel. The entire property, both inside and out, is beautifully decorated and maintains a refreshing, clean atmosphere. The staff is truly exceptional. Ms. ** at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming, which immediately made me feel like a valued guest. My room was spotlessly clean, and the first-rate bedding and pillows ensured that I slept comfortably and woke up refreshed.

    I was particularly impressed by the amazing variety of hot and cold options available for breakfast each morning. The breakfast area was nicely decorated and the breakfast staff kept the foods well stocked and every surface clean. I also want to commend the entire cleaning staff and groundskeepers for their outstanding work in maintaining the high standards of the inn.

    I checked in at the Best Western Hotel in Galesburg, Illinois in the afternoon. April 20 for one night. The room was ready when I arrived after 3PM. However, these was a problem with the lock and the pass card did not open the door. It just so happened that Nicki and Perri were near the front desk and they stepped in immediately and resolved the problem quickly by moving me to another suite that had a roll in shower. Perri even walked me to my new room assignment and checked the room to make sure everything was in order.

    The next morning before breakfast, I spoke with Perri in the lobby and we discussed how nice the sitting area looks with new chairs, sofas, end tables and lamps. Also, there is new furniture in the hallway to the right of the lobby. The new furniture is contemporary and presents a comfortable sitting area for guests while staying at the hotel. Lastly, the quality of the breakfast served in the dining room was well presented and tasty. I have always been very pleased with the quality of the food service.

      Joan was great. She made my reservations quickly. She was a refreshing 5 star employee of Best Western plus! She was extremely efficient!

      I want to thank Jennifer ** of the Best Western at Mayaguez Plaza for being very attentive to the needs of the customers. Today, she prepared breakfast and served the Buffet Station continuously for two hours non-stop and was practically doing it by herself. I thank her for her hard work and for being concerned with providing great service.

      On 4/25/2026, tried to stay at Best Western in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The staff was the most disrespectful and rude representatives I’ve ever seen. When there was a problem, they started cussing and called the police and told us we were not getting a refund and they were going to spend our 100-dollar deposit that night. Worst customer service representatives I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been staying at Best Western for a long time, along with a lot of other hotels for 40 years. I would put 0 stars, but this site makes you give them one, or you can’t submit the review.

      Stayed at a Best Western in Orlando, Florida for access to the airport. The room was damp, musty, stuffy and dirty. I approached the staff about the breathing issues and he handed me a bottle of spray. We arrived late, had no vehicle and had an early flight, so our options were limited. Eventually we turned the HVAC unit off, after we saw how dirty it was in the vents. All night we had difficulty breathing, coughed and itched from the bedding. Add to that a malfunctioning faucet which dripped constantly. Do not stay here.

      My wife and myself checked in April 3rd for a Easter weekend visit with family. Easter Sunday morning at 2:15 AM we were awoken by someone trying to open our door. They tried twice with a pass key. The third time as I was going to the door they used a pass key then attempted to push the top security lock open with their fingers. I yelled and threatened to slam door on their fingers that were in the door space. They then stopped. A weak sorry and they left.

      Immediately called the front desk. I asked what happened twice and they finally said it was a mistake with a simple "sorry". I checked out early and asked again for more information. They promised to let the manager know. I never heard from them. I called twice asking for manager and they said both times they would have him call us. Never heard from anyone. Obviously this could have been a really bad situation. Now corporate has not responded showing how much they care. I do not plan on returning to Best Western Hotels and will not bother to use rewards points

      Located right along the highway, location good, lots of food options available. The property certainly could have been cleaner, staff was good. Definitely noisy sleeping environment, with the highway next to the hotel. It had green area for my dogs, but not much.

      For over $200 a night, we encountered conditions I wouldn’t accept at a fraction of the price:

      ∙Bathroom door with gaping gaps — no latch, no privacy whatsoever
      ∙A THICK layer of DUST coating the clothing cabinet — housekeeping clearly hadn’t reached it in some time
      ∙NO elevator access for our entire stay — despite being placed on the second floor
      ∙NO handrail on the staircase — my wife fell while carrying luggage out on our departure day. This is not an inconvenience; it is a safety hazard and a liability

      ∙HAIR LEFT BEHIND from a prior guest — an inexcusable lapse in basic sanitation

      This is not a hotel experience. This is a motel and I use that word deliberately, not as an insult to motels, but as an accurate reflection of what was delivered at a premium price point. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR: DON’T take my word for it. Spend your money elsewhere. PS: If you booked through Booking.com expecting support? Don’t. We received zero response. You are entirely on your own.
