We stayed at the Best Western Port O'Call Calgary Hotel. The receptionist gave us the room opposite a family with kids crying all the time. Loud talk from other rooms. Noise outside even at late night. The Reception staff were only frowning and talking in their language. The room was dirty and dusty. There was no Bible in the drawer as previous stays had one in every room. Hopefully there will be a mixed cultural staff at the reception other than just one community. And also Bibles once again placed in every room as previously. Let Canadian culture be brought back to all hotels.

I stayed at the Best Western Denver East! I had a very good experience! The room was spotless, if I had any questions I would talk to the front desk, and Taysha ** would help me out! She was excellent! The staff was excellent! I had a great time!

I made a reservation on the 13th of August to a Best Western in Sudbury. I did so by speaking to the front desk employee directly at 10:00 pm. Unfortunately, within 15 minutes of making the reservation, circumstances changed. I tried to cancel both in person and on the phone. I spoke to the general manager who said there was nothing they could do. I am being charged over $200 for the room. I reached out to customer service office who sent my issue to be evaluated by the board.
What I can’t believe is that they denied a refund for what is pennies for them, but an incredible amount of money for me. This is money to put food on the table for my family and it was denied because of a “policy”. No consideration of even a partial refund. I am disturbed that there is apparently no good will with this business. What could have resulted in more business from me has now ensured that I will not give Best Western my business in any way. Further, I will encourage all my travelling friends, family and co-workers that this is not a place that has the best interest of their customers. I am deeply disappointed. While I am a nobody to them, it is disheartening to see that they are unwilling to help someone out who has reached out directly, and have no problem charging your customers for services not provided. This is robbery. Thank you, for nothing.

No working toilet in my room. Hotel full can’t change rooms. Front desk offered me a plunger to fix it myself or for a tip her husband who doesn’t work here can fix it for me. Both days the toilet was plugged. No one helped us! I fixed the toilet myself! No maintenance was available! We were offered a full refund however this has not been done. In fact they charged us an extra $219. Manager will not receive calls or reply to our emails. Very poor customer service!!

Becket Hotel- South Lake Tahoe. What an absolute DIVE! They give the BW a bad name. This place is run down, horrible service- I mean horrible service. Upon check in (that will not happen before 4P) we got some child with zero customer service skills helping us. She was rude and did not answer any questions we had. We also requested a bottom floor, both when we made the reservation and when we got there early and could not check in. We needed it for ADA. You see they are NOT ADA compliant. Our room had ONE towel in it. The front office said the towels were in the washer! What? So we could not shower before our dinner. The entire shower nozzle is coming out of the wall and you can not change the position. The shower is full of black mold. This will be reported, black mold is deadly. The shower you can't even turn around in it and I am a little person. It's the tiniest shower I have ever seen in a hotel or anywhere.
You can tell they've attempted to remodel because there's little nooks everywhere that make no sense at all. The patching and painting on the walls and the ceiling look like a four-year-old did it. The cable is coming out of the bathroom area stapled along the wall and a hole drilled to reach the TV.The grounds (area where the pool used to be)... no pool people, and is full of trash. The carpet is so filthy that when you walk around in your bare feet your feet are black. That is absolutely disgusting. The parking is an absolute joke. Clearly not enough parking for the number of rooms they have.
One night got back and had to park down the street ! This is absolutely not acceptable when I am paying over $400 a night for a room I expect to be able to park my vehicle in the parking lot. No one from the hotel cleans up the area. The "free" breakfast is not worth the walk to the other side of the hotel. The coffee is absolutely gross, not even drinkable.
The only thing good I can say the pillows were comfortable. The room was dirty and the lights that hang over the beds were had to remove the shades during our stay because you get out of bed and hit your head. This place should be taken down, it is disgusting!!!! I think the health department needs to be called into this place cause it's clearly not sanitary!

Our family reunion was in Oklahoma City, OK from August 1st - 3rd. And never had we ever experience such disbelief in conditions at a Best Western before. The first room we were assigned to did not have a shade in the window, blind but NO shade, cricket running across the room, and the room had a smell and the shower, slippery no grate over drain and no mat in place. Left that room went to another where the carpet was not clean or vacuumed. Went to the third room in one night, air unit was loud, but tolerable and we were tired.
Breakfast from 6 a.m to 9 a.m. too early....2nd day room was not cleaned, and last day asked to get a late check out and they could only give me an hour. NOW we had over 10 families booked room there, various complaints, one of our members slipped in the shower and slit his hand to an artery on the grate in shower and WE could NOT get a late check out. TERRIBLE customer service!!! WE will never check into that place again. After all that, never did WE receive an apology. But YOU got a lot of money from our families. Maybe some of your guests are okay with that terrible hospitality but as a general manager or owner of an establishment as such, treat your guest better.

Updated on 08/07/2025: I received the following response from Best Western Hotel Customer Relations (this is an EXACT quote) - "Our office does take into consideration you did utilize the room, and after experiencing some concerns, you chose to continue staying at the property". Basically saying it was MY fault I stayed in their dirty room.
Original Review: I’m writing about my stay, July 17-20, 2025 at the Best Western Grand in Gainesville, Florida. The cleanliness of this hotel was HORRIBLE. The bathroom floors were dirty (I provided a dirty paper towel to management from wiping it), the carpet was dirty and unvacuumed. The furniture was dirty and dusty, the refrigerator was poorly maintained and not working correctly. The air vents, particularly the bathroom was caked with dirt and dust. I brought all of this to the attention of the manager Juan, and everything was ignored. Be it the hotel is dated, I get that, but it's NO excuse for being dirty.

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.

Our 1st stay was in early March, for which we earned a $50 gift card to use at a later stay. All went smoothly. HOWEVER, our stay at the end of June was a DISASTER! Upon checking in, I presented the email with the $50 card to the front desk. I also showed them the DETAILED instructions to the front desk (from corporate) on how to apply. DEER IN HEADLIGHTS. This was a promo from early February, yet here in late June, no one at desk had heard of it. One even tried to tell me it had already been applied, hence my discounted rate! (Clearly a lack of training and grabbing straws).
When presenting the corporate instructions again, I was told they did not have access to system. Seriously? I was issued my room keys and was told their manager would “fix” things the next morning. After waiting for someone to find a luggage cart, which was nowhere to be found at check-in time, I went to car to get our luggage. Upon returning to lobby, I was motioned over to front desk. At this point I was being greeted by the General Manager and NOT in a friendly way. I was informed that the $50 reward was being applied to the 1st night rate (which was NOT per corporate’s instructions in the email. Saved me $8 per someone else not being able to read and comprehend instructions). But now, she INSISTED I provide my credit card information. WHAT??? She claimed I DID NOT PROVIDE MY CC INFO AND MUST DO IT!
Let me ask y’all... When was the last time you made a GUARANTEED hotel reservation WITHOUT your CC info? Or filled out your PRE-CHECK info without VALIDATING your CC info? At this point, after all of the incompetence witnessed at this front desk, I was EXTREMELY reluctant to provide CC info again, for at least the 3rd time! She, the GM, then threatened to call the police if I didn’t provide my CC info. Folks, one can’t make this stuff up! Instead of apologizing for someone or the newly rolled out system losing information, I was threatened with calling the police.
Now for the review of the hotel, it was brought up before that the shower floor was EXTREMELY slippery. Nothing has changed. Grab onto grab bar because your feet WILL slip. Bathroom is length of room, wasted space. Only one towel bar for multiple towels, toilet wayyyyy on other side of room, nothing there. Very ill designed room, wasted space. Breakfast pretty mediocre. Much better in March, awful this time.
To the GM: You’re an embarrassment to your profession. Instead of apologizing and trying to make things right with your customer, you threatened your customer with the police? For losing their CC info? And because your customer was reluctant to provide it AGAIN due to your front desk and YOUR incompetence? Go ahead and reflect the blame on your customer. For following ALL of the check-in requirements. For following ALL of the gift card redemption email instructions. I can PROMISE you, I will NEVER pay a dime at this location again! Love Best Western! But your property SUCKS! Thanks to you and an untrained staff.

After traveling a very long day, we were looking forward to what we thought would be a clean and comfortable place to sleep. The bed was comfortable enough but the room was extremely dirty. We would not stay here again. The breakfast was ok but the juice machine wasn’t working nor was the yogurt machine. There were no eggs to go with the sausage patties.

I have been an Airbnb/VRBO host for over 6 years. I have hosted over 2200 guests in those 6 years. I have earned SUPER HOST recognition every quarter of the past 6 years. I have to say this is one of the worst Best Western hotels I have stayed in. The staff was rude, the bathroom was dirty. It has really gone downhill in the last few years. Maybe it is new owners. The manager is very un-professional. It is not a hospitable hotel. Very unaccommodating.

Plus - Recognition of reward status, Friendly staff, Fast check-in, Clean room, Good water temp and pressure. Negative - Updates needed to bathroom toilet paper holder, Bathroom door needs replacement, Front door needs to be sealed. Hotel is quiet but not much around the area. Breakfast is adequate but minimal. Parking Canberra tight. Overall a good stay and value. Would be easy to recommend with the updates done.

I had a deeply disappointing and frankly disgusting experience at this Best Western Plus. The room was not clean by any reasonable standard. There was visible mold growing in the overflow hole of the sink, and mildew lining the grout in the bathroom tiles. The smell of dampness hit me as soon as I walked in. This isn’t just poor housekeeping—it’s a health hazard.
For a hotel marketed as "Plus," the conditions were anything but. The lack of basic cleanliness made it impossible to feel comfortable or safe. Management clearly isn’t inspecting the rooms or prioritizing hygiene. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. This place is unsanitary and unacceptable. Let me know if you'd like to mention location, staff experience, or a specific date of stay.

They did construction at 6 am and refused to refund any part of our stay. They argued that pouring concrete outside of our window was a delivery, not construction. The hotel owner and management are rude and made the decision to pour concrete at 6 am. They offered 15% in points. What a joke!!!

the Winnipeg Best Western on Wellington is a dumb. There are hundreds of people all around the hotel fighting with each other. Garbage all over the floor outside and inside the hotel. Hotel carpets were stained with black mold on the window seals. It was so bad. They had six Is security guards on each floor. Kids and people running in Always all night. A charge is over three hundred dollars and we didn't even sleep. This hotel should be condemned.

I stayed at the Best Western in South Holland, IL. I flew in from out of town and was not familiar with the area. When I arrived I noticed underwear (picture attached) in the bathroom like they did not clean up and a filthy couch (says picture too big to attach) with who knows what kind of stains. I checked out the next morning and advised the front desk of the same. They blew it off, offered a refund for the night I stayed ($150 way too much for a dirty room) that I never got refunded. Very dissatisfied with Mgt & 800#. Terrible experience, will never advise anyone to stay here.

I made a poor decision to stay at the Beat Western in Harrisonburg, VA. I double booked a room on June 3rd by mistake through Booking.com. Front desk saw this and only charged me for 1 room. Got to my room and saw I was double charged. The manager overrode the desk clerk, used my credit card information fraudulently and charged me the extra room without my permission. Then went home. Disgusting. Not trustworthy. Must be hard up for my $117.

I recently stayed at the Best Western Bennington, VT and encountered significant safety and management issues that warrant attention. Upon check-in, I was assured that no construction was taking place in my wing of the hotel. However, within minutes of settling into my room, renovation work began, including grinding floors and removing materials that may contain asbestos. The noise persisted well past the promised 6:00 PM cutoff, continuing into the evening.
Beyond the disruption, the handling of guest safety was deeply concerning. Construction materials were left in common areas, and fire egress routes were temporarily blocked. Additionally, I observed workers grinding floors without proper safety equipment, raising serious OSHA compliance questions. When I raised these concerns with hotel management, their response was dismissive. Instead of addressing the safety risks and miscommunication at check-in, they suggested I stay elsewhere in the future. This lack of accountability is unacceptable for a hospitality business.
Despite efforts by local code enforcement to inspect the site, the hotel had cleaned up visible issues before their arrival, which does not negate the risks posed to guests during active construction. If you value safety, transparency, and a restful stay, I strongly advise against booking this hotel until management demonstrates a commitment to guest welfare and proper construction oversight.

I stayed at the Aiden by Best Western in North Scottsdale, Arizona. I had an awful experience here, and could never reach a manager (although I tried!) to discuss my experience. I was moving, and had to find a place to stay for the night. I was VERY tired. At 5:15 a.m., the clock they had right next to the bed, and to which I had paid no attention, had an alarm go off. It was SUPER loud, and kept going off. I finally figured out how to turn it off. I complained the next morning to the staff. It was a weekend, so there was no manager there. They said I should have turned off the alarm prior to going to sleep.
How was I to know whether the alarm was set for a very early time, or how to turn it off from an alarm setting without calling the front desk? That's not my forte. Also, why do they have clocks with alarms in the rooms? 98% of people own cellphones where you can set an alarm. It seems logical that they would have the stupid clocks with an alarm available for any guest who asks for one, instead of putting them in every room. Also, why don't they, as good customer service, have their maids check to clear any alarm settings when they are cleaning a room? It ruined my sleep on a day when I was about to drive for 8-10 hours. I could never reach the manager, who apparently has decided that making himself unavailable to talk to customers is the way to go. Awful experience. If you stay here, be warned that you may be woken up in the early hours, and that management won't care.

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.

We stayed at Best Western Plus 4001 West 27th Avenue, Kennewick, WA 99337, USA. At check in the staff was great! We went to the room, dropped off our things and went off to an event. We returned later that evening. Sat on the couch and noticed a stench of urine, got up huge urine stain. Got ready to shower, bathroom stinks like the couch. Floors are sticky and smell of urine. I called front desk, young man comes with 2 spray bottles, they don’t work. I pulled the sheets back and noticed bedding had not been changed.
When he returned, I showed him. He sprayed the couch, went to the bathroom, came out a few seconds later. I asked if he cleaned he said yes, I said, I didn’t hear the water. He said, I sprayed and wiped it down. I told him, we need to be moved, he said we’re booked. I told him to get me clean bedding, he did and changed the bedding. The sheer curtains had stains on them too. The urine stench was horrific. I used their shampoo and towels and cleaned the bathroom and wiped all the counters. I used their coffee pods and sprinkled on the carpet and bathroom floor. Worst experience we’ve ever had in a Hotel! Even the phone was filthy!
