    Fortuitously, I checked with the reservation desk before we arrived. The original arrangements were made thru the 1-800 line, but the printed confirmation was wrong. I called again to straighten it out and even tho the confirmation was corrected, I decided to check with the hotel itself. The reservation there had not been updated to the correction. Straightened it out with the desk clerk over the phone. Everything was in order at check in, but on Day 2, I was locked out of my room because they enforced the original, incorrect reservation. None of it made sense. On the bright side, the woman who ran the breakfast bar was one of the hardest working and most pleasant hotel workers we had ever met. She should be running the registration desk, not relegated to kitchen duty.

    I’ve been going to Best Western hotels for years and for the most part every visit has been pretty good. The last few times that I stayed with them was at the Best Western Plus Cary Inn - NC State on Walnut St. The night staff didn’t want to get me more blankets and towels for my kids, the room smelled of mildew, and I requested a mini fridge to put the kids' milk in but I didn’t get it until the next afternoon. SMH. I was utterly surprised about my experience there. Then a week or two later I try logging on to my Best Western account to make another reservation in the future, but I couldn’t log on. Turns out my account was randomly selected and put under review and now it has permanently been deleted with no warning or explanation. I was just told that the account was randomly reviewed and deleted. I will NEVER bring business back to Best Western and it saddens me that they actually just delete accounts for no reason.

    I had the pleasure of staying at the Best Western in Waterboro SC a few weeks back. I cannot say enough about the wonderful friendly staff. We arrived late around 10:00 pm the evening of the reservation. Night clerk could not have been nicer. Both rooms were ready and she explained about the breakfast the next morning. Good night sleep on the first floor was a little surprised as I was sure we would hear the traffic. We did not. Then at breakfast we meet the best most efficient friendly hostess for the breakfast room. Her name is Joanne **. This woman made you want breakfast. Could tell she loves people and her job. She even went as far as made me a BW Waffle.

    This woman is such a asset to your motel. Probably not paying her enough. Also the front office manager Abram ** was just as friendly and got our bills done quickly and wished us a safe journey. If ever in this area or I have friends traveling here I will highly recommend this place. Thank you all for a good visit. Ms. Dolores **. PS Only complaint I could not get points as I had booked by Booking.Com. Next time I will look into the rate for points.

    We love Best Western and have been rewards members for years. Although it has been a mystery as to how to use our points till now. We called the Piedmont, NC. hotel on Oct. 18th and finally after 4 years we were able to use our points for a very nice room. Nice person at check in and great breakfast. We noticed when we reached our room that across the hall was an electric cord going from one room to another. When leaving the next morning we stepped into hall and the rooms across the hall were being opened up and hot steam came out. I asked the man opening the door if it was for BED bugs and he said yes but that it was regular maintenance preventative. Needless to say when arriving home I undressed in garage and washed everything in my suitcase as well. Very scary. Is this indeed new maintenance procedure? Or should I be concerned that I may have brought home bedbugs?

    Arrive Friday 12 Oct. 2018 for an ADA room for 2 nights. We were advised the elevator was broken and would not be fixed until the following week, and if we wished we could cancel without charge. They also informed us all motel/hotels in the area were fully booked. I checked 3 or 4 and they were fully booked. I was offered an $18.00 a night discount. ($99 instead of $117 a night). They are an 80 unit motel with 2 ADA rooms. Ours was on the 3rd floor with no elevator. The stairs at one end of the hall (closest to our room) was NOT ADA COMPLIANT, it had carpet for the steps and only had a handrail on one side with rough stone walls, where any slip, trip, or fall could be very painful.

    The stairway at the far end of the hall did have handrails on both sides with vinyl stair treads and rough stone walls. The exit we had to use had brick stairs with rough concrete handrails. No ramp was near the exit. While the staff was polite and friendly we will never stay here again. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE WITH A STROKE AND RIGHT SIDE TOTAL DISABILITY.

    I very seldom have any issues with Best Western hotels, but I am compelled to report this matter for the sake of the consumers, Best Western and its reputation. Recently 9/7—9/9, my wife and I, stayed two nights at Best Western Plus Colony Inn, 3600 El Camino Real, Atascadero, CA. 93422. On arrival in room number 229, as we were getting settled, we were disturbed and alarmed to find a used condom wrapper in plain sight next to the nightstand. We began to wonder if the rest of the room was clean, which it appeared to be. So, we graciously dismissed it as an apparent oversight of the housekeeping personnel. We immediately took the used condom wrapper to the lobby to report the incident to ** at the front desk who was surprised and offered us another room which we declined, because he specifically gave us that room for its quiet location.

    However, the second night of our stay on 9/8, we were very rudely awakened at 2 am. After peering through the peephole in the door, I couldn’t believe my eyes. To my astonishment and surprise there was a group of 8-10 college students sitting in a circle on the floor right in front of my door partying, laughing, talking and carrying on so loudly, with no regard for sleeping guests. I opened the door to express my anger and immediately they left. My wife and I, now upset could not get back to sleep for the next hour or so. If there was a security camera to monitor the hallway, management could have done something about this.

    I sent a email complaint on 9/12/18, to the Best Western regional manager Raj ** who actually works for Core Hotels, LLC out of San Francisco, who owns and operates numerous hotel chains. I have not received any acknowledgment. I then sent the same complaint on 9/15/18, to Core Hotels, LLC and still have not received a response. I will never stay in a Best Western or any other hotel operated by Core Hotels, LLC. They obviously do not care about their guests.

    Worst example of Best Western Hotels that I have ever seen in my life! The whole hotel is a construction site! This hotel should not even be open to the public. It’s dangerous and very inconvenient. Only one elevator works and the whole parking lot is filled with building materials. Worst hotel experience I have ever had! I would not stay here again if they were giving rooms away free! Makeshift front desk that is a joke! Why would Best Western allow this?

    enitta ** 1/5. 3 minutes ago on Google. I have never had such a horrible experience in my life. I checked into Sherwood best Western at 6 AM Friday morning. They told me I was not to check out till Saturday morning. I ask her three different times to make sure I heard correct. Checked in around 1pm that friday, called front desk and ask how to call out locally. Manager started chewing me out. I hung up the phone. I don’t pay $89 to have a manager yell at me.

    I called back an hour later to see if they had room service. She started threatening me telling me that I had overstayed my welcome. I explained to her my room is rented until Saturday morning. She kept calling me back yelling at me. I called the police. Instead of the police checking to see what time my checkout time was she intervened. I was thrown out of my room for overstaying my time when I still had 20 hours left. I wasn’t even allowed to have the time to call a Taxi or retrieve my keys to my lexus. Do you know what it cost to re-up on Lexus keys!!!

    I am 55 years old with congestive heart failure and literally had to walk out of that hotel and down the road to get to my vehicle because I had taken a taxi there. I have called District and made a complaint. I’m going to my bank in the morning and then I’m contacting my lawyer as well as the lieutenant of the sheriff's department. I have never in my life seen anything like this.

    I do a lot of traveling. I spend a lot of money and time in motels and hotels and I have always had a good report. But to be thrown out of a hotel that I spent $89 for Because the manager came in in a bad mood that day and did not even check my records or speak to the woman that rented me the room. Piss on Best Western. They will never get another penny from me. It’s a sad sad day when they treat their customers like criminals because they made the mess up and the mixup. And it seems I'm not the only one who had had trouble with the manager and her attitude.

    I called the toll free number to determine how many points I have on my rewards account. I was greeted by a lady (I'm being nice when I call her a lady) named Farris. She asked me several question for security reasons. When I refused to give her my phone number, she stated she would not be able to help me any further. I told her I did not want them to sell my info, so there has to be another way to verify who I am after asking me my full name, e-mail, home address, where was the last place I stayed. Now keep in mind I travel 45 weeks out of the year. So to remember where I stayed last?? Really??? When I asked for a supervisor, I was told she would give me to a supervisor. I told her I would call right back and ask for a supervisor that way or better yet would it be better I called the CEO. She laughed and said hold on... Farris desk partner got on the phone and she gave me what I wanted to hear. I hung up.

    I called the CEO office Mr. Kong, I was told he will not talk to customers. (Now how does this guy get paid). I asked Stacy would it be better to call him on his cell number which is **, she stated I can do what I want. I asked if I should post his phone number on the internet for everyone to see, she stated, "You are free to do what you want." She hung up on me. Great customer service. I have decided to cash in my points and will move on to another hotel that wants someone who travels as much as I do.

    I have been a BW Platinum customer for 5 years. I travel 21 weeks out of the year mostly for business. I decided to book a personal trip for Labor Day this year. The hotel was 440.00 for two nights. Don’t normally do this but decided to check out Travelocity. Turns out the same hotel was being rented for 240.00. I called BW and told them I could book the same hotel for ½ of the rate. Their response was, "You should have book through them." I feel they have no loyalty to their customers or they would have offered a competitive rate. Why should I pay more just because I am loyal to the BW brand?

    My wife and I were on vacation earlier this year and were trying to find a hotel in the Daytona Beach area. We started the search online and found availability in the closest Best Western Hotel for $66. I put in my credit card and reserved the room for $66 charge. When we arrived at the hotel we found that there was a $33 service charge added to the bill. I was not aware that the reservation was hijacked by CCI HOTEL GUEST RESERVATIONS. I could not find any information regarding this company online. Since I agreed to the charges, my credit card company would not stop payment to this company.

    I am wondering if this company is an arm of Best Western just there to increase profits. I wrote a letter to the CEO and president of Best Western and have not heard anything back. I have seen similar complaints regarding this company online. After appearing at the hotel and seeing the $99 charge, I attempted to cancel the reservation but was told I cannot cancel. I always like to stay at Best Westerns because they were a high quality outfit. I think they are far more greedy than any of the others.

Only once was our room cleaned the way it should be. No vacuum, No Shampoo or soap. The king size bed was hard in the center and soft /lumpy on both sides, My brother in laws room was the same. The garbage outside by the back door was not emptied once and was overflowing onto the ground with odor. The girl working the evening shift spent her time eating grilled food with her male friends in the breakfast area (the men were drinking). The only good thing was the woman that took care of the breakfast, Theresea. She went above and beyond.

    Montrose W Ave - The supervisor had me and my children forcefully removed because of a shoe policy in the dining area where no signs were seen just word of mouth. Police were called. I have never been so humiliated and embarrassed in my entire life. The supervisor called the police again on me The next day. Said I was harassing the business by calling to speak with the manager, not one time did the supervisor ask for my name when I called to speak to the manager.

    We made our reservation 4 days before arrival, I called the 800# to set our reservation for 6/22 & 6/23. Nowhere does it state the hotel is going through renovations, in fact it wasn't added to the website until I mentioned it in my complaint. The Sales Manager & Hotel Manager want you to know the renovations of the rooms were done in December - but mind you, the sink to wash your hands is in the bedroom far away from the toilet area - I only know because we went to look at the room to make sure it was large enough for the 3 of us.

    My mother is a senior, who recently survived her 2nd heart attack only this time flat lined at the hospital, I was taking her back to our old "summer hang out" in Mammoth Lakes CA. However, the chemical stench in the elevator was so bad, my son and my mother both had asthma attacks. When I brought this to the Hotel through the BBB, the Sales Manager and the Hotel Manager both said it was altitude sickness, even though my mother confirmed on the phone with the booking rep at the hotel it was an asthma attack to the chemicals in the elevator. Additionally the Hotel Manager implied she sees this all the time with aging travelers.

    Due to the policy in place with Best Western, they still charged us $91, because their cancellation is 24 hours before arrival. My point is, the rudeness, the accusations and the smell make this hotel company one of the worst in ethics and empathy. My mother agreed to the charge, but there was no other choice, either pay the half or pay the whole. Based on health issues, I would recommend moving to another hotel as fast as your car can go. Best Western isn't anything it used to be, and Hilton has far better rates, far better accommodations and a better attitude.

    Travelers Beware. We made a reservation early Tuesday morning with the Best Western Hotels for a king size bed, pull out couch, and pet friendly room. We were traveling to Michigan from Connecticut with a 15 month old baby, a 15 year old child, and a dog. We received a phone call as we were walking out the door that our reservation was not available, and their establishment could only give us a non-pet friendly room with a king size bed, a desk, and chair. So our dog can sleep where? And our son can sleep in a desk chair? Stunned we contacted their corporate office only to receive empty words of apology and a bonus $25.00 voucher. How generous of them!!!

    As a family oriented business we were baffled as to how they could so easily screw us over!!! As a result of their blatant error, we now will have to have our 15 month old in the car a lot longer than necessary. And after talking with their corporate office they probably could care less about what they have put our family through, but I want future guests to be aware of Best Western's Reservation practices.

    Booked hotel thru Hotel.com looking for pet friendly. This hotel was listed so I booked for 1 night. Had to prepay for room. When I arrived for check-in, I was told no pets allowed. The front staff reluctantly allowed me to stay knowing I could not get my refund back at this point. They put me in an all handicapped room which was ridiculous as the shower curtain could not close because of a permanent seating structure attached to the tub. I am not handicapped. To my surprise there were doggy stations on the premises so it was contradictory to what the front desk told me.

    Next day I went to breakfast which was being cleared at 9:10 am. The laminated Guest Directory stated breakfast served until 9:30 am.The staff argued that the Guest Directory was incorrect and needed to be changed to 9 am. This was frustrating. Then I observed the employees of the hotel were eating in the breakfast room which is not professional when guests are offered breakfast. I could hear staff talking about the dog owner (me) within earshot. I have never been treated so poorly at a hotel in my life.

    My husband and I checked in to Best Western PLUS on May 27. The next day our room was not touched, (waste paper cans not emptied, no fresh towels, bed not made). The same day there were children laughing loudly and running around wildly, hopping up on the reservation desk, riding a scooter in the lobby area, and going into rooms with the housekeeper. The next day a child was seen lying on the clean towels on the linen cart! These were undoubtedly children of the housekeeper. I reported this activity to "Nick" who was most helpful, apologetic, and got us clean towels, fresh garbage bags, and said he would "take care of the problem". If it wouldn't have been for him "bending over backwards" to help us, we would have refused to pay our entire bill. (We had reservations and stayed for 2 nights.)

    Best Western Hotel Monmouth Junction, NJ/Over-Charged (TWICE). 1 Princeton, NJ, United States. Contact information: BestWesternprincetoninn.com. We are platinum rewards members and have been staying at Best Western Hotel located at 4191 US-1 Monmouth Junction New Jersey, since May 4th 2018. We came back here because we have always had a good experience here. The staff knows us, the breakfast is good, and it is a generally safe environment. We returned even though we were wrongfully overcharged in the past. On Wednesday, May 23rd 2018, I returned to my room to discover my key was deactivated. I went to manager **, he took 30 minutes to do what other staff members did in mere seconds.

    We later learned what he did was check us out, unbeknownst to us, and checked us back in. He misconstrued the dates of the initial Reservation, and deceptively overcharged us for 2 weeks while our reservation was not yet expired. Because of him charging our card too early, and past the correct amount we accumulated additional overdraft fees. He charged us an excess of $1,074.33 (ALL AT ONCE) which is also against Best Western Policy. He then gave us a 4 day credit which no one wants to redeem. We were told he's the only one to rectify the situation, but he has been avoiding us by not coming to work on his scheduled days. ** at the front desk told us, that ** would arrive to the hotel at 10 pm on 5/25/18 to resolve the issue, but he did not come, and we were not notified.

    We returned to this hotel despite the fact that this man has done this to us in the past. We pardoned those previous actions hoping that he would deal honestly with us this time around. It is difficult for us to believe that a manager would make this mistake with us twice. This leads us to believe that the overcharging and the dates of the charge was intentional. According to Hotel staff and customer service, they agree that THIS IS NOT NORMAL PROCEDURE. We are asking for further investigation, and that this be rectified professionally, and speedily. P.S, We have also NOT received our other platinum rewards items. We were supposed to receive 700 points per night from May 14th up to our check out date, which we have not been getting.

    My husband and I checked into the Best Western Plus Airport in Shreveport Louisiana this past Friday on the 18th of May as we were attending a concert that evening. Check in with no problem. In fact they gave us a room upstairs because it was already available. The problems began when we got into the bathroom smells like urine, after having looked around I found out why, the toilet had a significant amount of urine on the bottom left and right side. And it look like it had been there for some time. We went on to the concert that evening, concert let out at 10, we returned around 10:30 back to the hotel, only to find there were no parking places!

    There were two large trucks, one pulling a trailer and one pulling a boat, each one took up no less than 5 parking places then there was a motorhome coach parked long ways taking up six parking spaces! So we went into the clerk who was somewhat rude as she wouldn't even give me the courtesy of eye contact. Her response was, "I can't do anything about that," . We don't know who's parked there so I can't help you". I said, "Where we supposed to park, we paid $147 for this room and there's no parking!" She told us to park in the fire lane or a handicapped space.

    We had no choice but to leave our car in fire lane. She really couldn't have cared less about the situation. Once we got into our room, looking down from our window, we watched as other cars coming in circling the parking lot also no parking places. They parked in the fire lane as well. When we got into our room that evening I turned on my bedside table and the only thing it did was strobe. It never would come just on my husband's turned his on and it's strobed just like the other and then his just went off altogether so we couldn't even sit in bed and read. $147 bucks,.. I'm curious what the "plus" is in their title!!

    Couldn't have been more angry. Did not sleep well because of the car parking situation. So my advice is DON'T STAY AT THE BEST WESTERN PLUS AIRPORT IN SHREVEPORT, LA. THERE WAS NO BEST, AND CERTAINLY NO PLUS (unless you're talking about the extra pee, no parking, rude desk employee, and stroking nightstand lights!)

    Ok let’s start from the beginning when I actually thought this hotel was going to be great... Started off with a couple calls to the hotel front desk where I spoke with a very nice young lady who lives on island. We talked about early check in and late check out times and I told her I would call back regarding booking. A couple hours later I called back to book and she asked me about being members or triple A members and she said she got us a great rate of $108 a night. I said, "Wow that’s good, what about taxes?" She says, "That’s included!" She then said, "Yes it’s a good rate considering it’s peak season and rates are normally 170 a night." I agreed what a great rate, she went over personal info and got my credit card info and confirmed the nights and we were done.

    I waited for a confirmation email but did not receive one, so I called back 2 more times to request one and never got one that night. I called the 800 number and they stated the reservation was there but couldn’t send the email only the hotel could... but that my rate was different. I said must have been a mistake and I’d call the hotel in the morning since it was 10pm at this time.

    Next morning I call the hotel to get the email sent and to get the rate fixed. The girl who answers gets the email sent which I get and I ask her about the rate. She said, "No matter what was said the rate is the 170 rate..." I ask her to speak with a manager. She states she is the front desk manager... I ask her if the calls are recorded and she states yes, so I ask her to listen to the call and have herself or her boss contact me...

    1 hour later a man named KD or KB calls me saying he is the general manager and starts rambling off how the hotel never in its 20 yrs offered a rate of $108 a night and wouldn’t be able to stay in business if it did. I allow him to continue his ramble and state that’s not the point... And then I ask him if he listened to the call, he says their calls aren’t recorded...

    I asked then why did your manager state that they were?!?! He then gets defensive (mind you I haven’t even gotten upset or raised my voice once) and he says, "I’m not going to get into it with what was said... I’m trying to fix this..." "Oh great, how can we fix this," I say... He says, "Well at this point it doesn’t sound like you’ll be happy here and we should look at putting you at another hotel?!?" Now I’m like WTH?!?!? He says he doesn’t think I’ll enjoying staying there?!? How would he know... Plus he never offered an apology or any way to “fix” the issue. He says, "Maybe you should just call corporate..." At this point I’m at a loss of words and say, "Yah I think that’s best" and hang up.

    Well turns out this is the OWNER of this Best Western and guess what else? He CANCELED my reservation without my knowledge and didn’t even send an email or anything telling me that when I arrive in a few hours I won’t have a hotel to stay at!!! I contact Best Western who tell me this little bit of information which had they not this could have really been a big issues...

    Do not stay at this hotel! Stay in a condo or anywhere else... Someone that owns a location like this and treats his customers the way he did should not be running a business! Never once did I expect the 108 rate once it was confirmed that it was incorrect. What I wanted was the rate that I got online that was cheaper than what I booked at... But not once did he listen or even offer to help... Sooo $10 a night just cost you a customer, bad reviews, and referrals.

    I had a reservation for a weekend while the Tulip Festival was going on. My son is getting married that weekend, and the minister was coming from out of town. We reserved the room for her - we live in town. The minister cancelled four days before the wedding, so I tried to cancel the reservation for a day that should have been very easy for them to fill. They stated that they were very strict on their no cancellation policy, so I asked for it to be commuted to a credit for use at a future date. They refused, telling me that if I couldn't use the reservation, I was out the $217.00.

    I live in out-state Minnesota. Some times I work in the Minneapolis area three hour drive away. April 12th 2018 I checked into Best Western Eden Prairie Inn with reservations for two nights. The room appeared to be clean and in good order. I personally have a problem with the tiny pillows they supply but I was able to get some sleep. The morning of the 13th I proceeded to take a shower the fiberglass tub/shower. It had no rubber mat in the nor anywhere to be found. Sure enough when attempting to get out I slipped and hit my head on the wall and tub. While leaving that morning I informed the front desk.

    Later that day a snow storm was entered the city so I decided to leave town early, checked out at 5:00. Got a receipt with one night charge on it. A few days later I see in my bank account they charged me for two nights. I called them and listens to their "hotel excepted policy" line about checking out after 4:00 pm so I asked them to send me a receipt. They said it would be emailed in 2 seconds, never showed up. Called them back, he said he sent it four times, I said, "Why did you send it four times", he said to make sure I would get it? All this is very fuzzy. I will never stay at BW again.

    My stay here was on March 7th 2018. This was a really good one cause we stayed only for a few hours. We checked in late but that's good. Then on the 12th we went and checked in late again. This was at 1 am. Now I'd think with a fully booked hotel I need my rest and get going the next morning. But now 1 am going into the room there was used silverware on the table and lights on. Just walking in I felt is don't feel right. We called front desk. The woman there was awesome. She came took it out and we agreed that would be it but, that was just the beginning.

    I sat on the chair cause I felt uncomfortable. I said to my bf, "Ok I have to look at the bed." So I did and just took the sheets off and the pillow fell over with hair all over it. Then the sheet's a mess. I called the woman again and complain. Now there wasn't any more rooms at that time. So she changed the sheets. I could not thank this woman enough to make us feel comfortable. I know it's not her fault and Best Western seem to be underpaying their staff in order to have these issues. But back to it now. So clean sheets, now going in the bathroom to use the toilet there was splash all around it. Then called her again.

    I can't think I am in this dirty room and all that. Come to find out it's a handicap room. Then there was someone in the room who they thought were in the room for two days. So they never cleaned it. Just fixed it. Then we try and work on it. I try to see it in a positive way. Then going back giving them another chance. This was the. 18th. Walk into the room. It was cold. I said, "I can deal with this." I just didn't want to complain again.

    Now this tops it all. Going into the bed we found blood spots stained on the sheets!!! This was it. I went off on them and could not hold back. And there was nails on the floor and breadcrumbs. So the outcome to it all... we got back the money for the 12th after calling them for two weeks, and the 18th we got another room. But for this all I will never go there again. If need be I'd stay in my car than going back to this place. They need better management and cleaning crew. And better pay for these people. That's the only way I think the workers will do their job cause they all complain about it.

My second stay there was a disaster. The motel was doing renovations so there were cable and lights in the hallways day and night. The water was only lukewarm and three different times this was brought to the attention of the front desk with no lasting results. The breakfast bar was shut down on 2 different days due to an electrical problem with the hot bar. The hot tub was non-functional and this was a true disappointment as I booked this primarily because of the heated pool and spa. A very negative experience and I would not recommend this motel.

    I really expected better for what I paid. I stayed at the Best Western on State Farm Pkwy for 2 nights. The first thing I noticed as I entered the room was the couch. The couch had a dirty look to it, and it had holes all in it. It appeared that it had a stain on it that someone tried to remove unsuccessfully. I woke up the first morning and attempted to make some coffee to no avail because the coffee maker in the room didn’t work. The door to the closet was broken and wouldn’t shut. My card key wouldn’t work two times because they deprogrammed it for some reason, so I had to take it back to the front desk each time. The girl who checked me in on the first day seemed pleasant, however she was the only one whom I dealt with who was. I usually don’t leave reviews, but this was such a bad experience that I needed to vent (and hopefully save someone from experiencing what I did). I can’t imagine staying at another.

    February 2, 2018 I checked into the Best Western Greenville Airport for the specific reason to take the shuttle in the morning to the airport. As I often do when traveling and I have an early flight. I told the clerk at the front desk upon check-in that I would need to be on the shuttle in the morning. She told me that it leaves at 6:00 am, and to be there 15 minutes early. I thought this would be OK, since my flight was at 7:30 am. Saturday Feb 3, 5:35 am I went to the hotel lobby. I told the clerk at the desk that I was there to catch the 6 am shuttle to the airport. She said, "You are not on the list." Without an explanation of what that meant, I said, "I need a ride to the airport." She repeated, "You're not on the list." She then showed me the list and said, "See. You're not on the list." She continued with the attitude that it was my responsibility to be on "the list".

    I said, "I don't know who is responsible for your list. I told clerk when I check in yesterday that I needed to catch the airport shuttle at 6 am and she told me to be here 15 minutes early." The back and forth of "on this list/not on this list" continued until I finally said, "Then put me on the list." She then told me that the shuttle leaves at 6 am and 7 am, I said, "Ok 6 am," and asked about coffee. She said, "Around corner." At this point I was frustrated with the disrespectful strange behavior from the front-desk clerk.

    I didn't see the coffee cups when I went to get coffee. I cracked open the "employee only" door, not entering, and called out for a cup. The clerk came around and with a disdain expression and showed me where they were. I sat down to drink my coffee thinking everything was ok. Wrong. Someone walked quickly behind me and said, "Your shuttle is ready." I gathered my carry on, my large rolling suitcase, my purse and my still full coffee cup. Making it to the front door and finding it difficult to navigate the slight grade that it had some kind of bumps in the concrete. Consequently, my coffee started to spill. The shuttle wasn't 10 ft from the door and the driver remained behind the door of the van out of sight.

    I called out for help from the driver and she said, "Bring your luggage over here. I will help you put it on the back." I had to dump out my coffee and then was able to get to the back of the van. Really, why wouldn't she help me? I am 66 years old and under 5 and needed help. Now the clerk came out and said I was yelling. Not true! I only called out for help. The driver now told me she didn't need to take me. That it was a courtesy service not a service guaranteed. She took my luggage off the van and shut off the engine, and disappeared back into the hotel. I went in and told the clerk to call me a cab, I realizing she was not going to help me.

    So then I started trying to find a cab. No cab companies were answering the phone. A few choice words in a heated moment followed and I concluded the conversation by saying, "I hoped you have surveillance cameras." I am a senior woman traveling alone. I was left in the front of the hotel with my luggage. It was dark and I'm in an unfamiliar neighborhood and town, not knowing anyone I could call. No answers on cab or transportation calls. It was still very dark out and I didn't know what to do. Terrified, I headed toward the only light that was a Waffle House. Desperate, I asked a young man who looked as if he was on his way to work if he was going by the airport and I would pay him twenty dollars to take me. Turned out he is an angel, he saw my desperation and said, "You don't have to pay me anything", picked up my luggage and took me to the airport in time to catch my flight. When I was dropped off, I put 20.00 in his console.

    As a frequent Best Western guest, I have found this entire experience to be traumatizing to me. I wake up in the middle of the night reliving the incident. It was only by the Grace of God that this man turned out to be an Angel, but I was focus on NOT missing my plane home. Finally, when a guest calls out for help – obviously in need of assistance – do NOT accuse them of SHOUTING. There IS a difference. It could have been a matter of life and death, and your front-desk clerks put MY LIFE in danger. The public needs to be informed about how they could be treated by Best Western employees.

    I emailed the national BW customer service department for an explanation a few days ago but haven’t heard anything. More frustrating, I phoned Bentonville directly. The gentleman I talked to said that the manager was on the other line but would call me back with the billing explanation. That was five days ago.

Apparently all of a sudden my room was a non-refundable room (pretty sure those are usually a prepaid situation, not pay at property) and they decided to refund 1 night but not the 2nd. I never received a receipt or notification of this situation, just a charge the day after I would have checked out had I stayed.

    I'm so angry as the hotel is local and if I had thought it was non-refundable as they now state (they also tried to claim there were 3 dates I cancelled... I only cancelled 2 dates due to a friend who was trying to get dates off and it not working out as planned. If I had known it was non-refundable, I would have at least gone up and enjoyed the night away from my crazy neighbor since it was already paid for.

    Trying to get a response from BW is like trying to get blood from a turnip... repeatedly my emails went unanswered which just proves that you as a customer don't matter at all. I'll be advising all friends and family to avoid BW at all costs! $150 is a big amount for someone who lives paycheck to paycheck and apparently they don't care, enough so that they'll keep the one night over a customer.

    Please note, I take writing a review like this very seriously and prior to doing so all I asked was that we be treated with respect and given the price that was on the internet and that I had verified prior to taking the shuttle on the phone 15 min earlier. The rude, angry, and confrontational manager who refused to give her name beyond "Ana" said, post the review as if she didn't care at all about the hotel, the chain, and clearly about us as clients who had arrived in the early morning after a long flight trusting the good name of Best Western (which I no longer trust as quality). Here it is.

    I travel all around the world and have stayed in many hotels and had arrived in San Francisco at 1 am. At about 1:30 I called the phone # for the hotel and spoke with a woman and verified the price, gave them my name and asked when the shuttle would be coming to the airport. I waited outside the airport for the shuttle and when I arrived at the hotel, the price given to me was $50 higher than the amount I was quoted on the phone (that I had verified with someone else who also heard my phone call). When I asked if I could book online for 2 nights, or if they could give the rate I was promised, the manager (who only gave me her name of Ana, who looked upset from the moment she stepped out) refused and then told us we could not stay there.

    I explained to her that I would pay the amount as I needed a place to stay but that it is important to treat people properly and I was promised the rate on the phone and gave my name for the reservation. She continued to argue that I hadn't called so I pressed redial on the # I had called and all the phones started ringing around us. Despite the fact I had just proven that I had called, she turned us away at 2:30 am and I was forced to call an Uber and stay elsewhere.

    Before leaving this review, I let her know politely that I would do so and all I was asking was to be charged the amount I was promised. If you are looking for a good hotel, there are many. This would be the last one you would ever want to look at and while I wish Ana great energy, perhaps Best Western can look at giving her some training on taking care of customers as ultimately, if someone has been flying for a long time, arrives at 1 am and calls to verify, and then arrives, the right thing is to take care of the customer. This hotel has provided the absolute worst service I have ever received in 20 different countries and Ana the manager was the rudest, most angry, and incompetent manager I have ever seen. If you are looking for a place to stay, don't walk, run away from Best Western Plus El Rancho Inn in this location.

I stay in a lot of hotels! I booked with Waltham, MA TLC location and have never been so disappointed in my life. Booked a room with 2 beds and only got one. Upon calling the front desk I was told it WAS a 2 bedroom because the sofa has a pull out bed. Excuse me? Did the manager really compare a pull out bed to a real bed? Lol. I have family all over MA I could've stayed with. I booked a hotel because I wanted a comfortable night's sleep and a hot shower. I got neither. I got stuck on a sofa bed and we couldn't even shower. Room had no hot water.

    We were at a Guns N' Roses concert at TD garden all night so the fact we couldn't shower in the morning was pretty gross. Upon checking out, manager asked how my stay was... Why even ask if you guys don't care? I informed with what my issues and was given a smile and a promise for a good deal next time. Lol. There won't be a next time. You guys are totally unprofessional and petty. The following night we went to another Guns N' Roses concert in Hartford. Our choice came down between a Best Western or a Comfort Inn...

    On October 21, 2017 at about 2:30 am I checked into the Best Western North Waco on Bellmead in Waco, Texas. Less than 10 minutes in the room I opened the cabinet in order to heat food and a roach emerged. Upon check out this morning, I went to the front desk to complain of the issue. I told her that I thought it was ridiculous to charge $287 for a room and have a roach. I did not request any money. I simply made a complaint that she seemed to care less about. The clerk did or said absolutely nothing helpful. I was especially bothered that even after I showed the young lady the picture of the roach, she never made any type of attempt to do anything. Notify housekeeping, a manager, an exterminator perhaps. Bothered by this I called the customer service number. I filed a complaint. I expressed my opinion that it was ridiculous to charge someone $287 for a room with roaches and also my shock of the clerk’s lack of response to the issue.

    Not once did I request a refund nor a discounted rate. However the gentleman that called me from the hotel 254-732-2039, General Manager Dipak Patel, called to tell me he could not give me a discount for two reasons. One being I booked through a third party and two there was smoking in the room. I am totally livid at this point. There was no smoking in the room and there is absolutely no evidence of smoking. But addressing the money or discount that I did not ask for, if I had an issue with the money I never would have paid for the room and I certainly would have never stayed in the room until the next morning.

    Furthermore, I have pictures of the roach, please give me some evidence of smoking. Yes a few people smoke and if you look at your surveillance you will see them leaving the building to smoke. We cannot help what lingers in clothing, bags, or even hair. But what I would never expect is for someone considered management to call me with what I consider retaliation. You can never do anything ever for me in the future. If you care able to check my lodging history you will see that I frequent Best Western in Ontario, California. As well as I frequent resorts and five star hotels. The roach is simply unacceptable. You have your tacky price list of detailed things you will be charged for if you take from the room. Seems to be all about a profit and you don't care about customer service.

    Myself, as business owner pride myself on it. But instead I'm here feeling ripped off and somehow I feel the roach was my fault. And let me point out, I know that if this was a priority and management felt any type of remorse, he can arrange discounts, even free nights. But I will never step foot in another Best Western or anything affiliated. I never planned to and I never asked for a discount. I simply thought a roach in a lodging facility would be a concern. To think Motel 6 right next door was only $89.00.

We said we were very sorry and she still behaved in an undignified manner. I told her that I will report her and she said she didn't care because to her, we were "greedy".

    This was an insult to us because the only thing we were eating from the hotel at the time was jelly and butter that was made available to us in the first place. Plus, there was another family who were there with us and they said that they will be reporting her as well. Regardless, she insisted that she didn't care.

Later in the night I was awakened by the guest across the hallway. They were in the hallway yelling at each other. Nothing was done about the disturbance caused by these people, waking me from a sound sleep. Finally these people went back into their room and did not come back out until the next morning. At 0545 am. I was awakened again by these same people in the hallway outside my room yelling at each other. By then I am upset and mad over this. Again nothing was done to quiet these people down. I suspect the reason nothing was done by the desk clerks was because the clerks and the guest are of the same nationality. I'm guessing they are all from Pakistan or a country like that.

    When I attempted to complain to the desk clerk demanding to know why he couldn't control his guest he could tell I wasn't happy. That is when he decided he doesn't understand English or could he speak it. That is when things really went down the tubes. When someone does that, that infuriates me. It's nothing but a cheap way not to handle the complaint made by me. I lost it and began telling what I thought about him.

    As I was walking away, a man of the same nationality asked the clerk what was the problem. That was when the clerk decided he could speak English telling the person that was cleaning the rooms that the problem is "that old man." The clerk then began yelling at me to check out and get out now. I did so after a few choice words from me. This could have been avoided if those clerks would have handled the problems from the night before and that morning. Just to add, shame on you people for hiring persons from out of the United States.

As of July 2017, they have done nothing noticeable to improve several negatives. The mattresses HAVE to be the originals installed around 2004, and are no longer comfortable. During my recent visit in July 2017, as well, I found the first floor elevator button not working.

    The ONLY person on staff when I arrived for check in, had to go around through the hotel maintenance room, enter the elevator from the backdoor, and open the front elevator door to let several other guests in, as well. This had to be repeated over and over again, between the single employee enrolling several new guests at the front desk. Two days later, the first floor elevator button was STILL not working, and we were promised the elevator company would be here to fix it the next morning. It was never fixed during my week stay. In short, this hotel is no longer recommended by me, nor is it on my list of reliable, comfortable, and sanitary places to visit. Regretfully, I give this hotel a low rating.

    I am a Diamond Select member and for the past 3 years I have stayed at a Best Western hotel in Athens, Texas for business, an average of 6 times each month (average of 72 nights a year) and have given that hotel (a town of only 12,000 people) high ratings for their customer service, cleanliness, internet, breakfast, etc. Plus their cost per night is usually < $100.00 per night. I have never had any major issues with the Best Western in Athens, Texas. The small issues were always quickly corrected in a professional manner. Everyone is always very professional.

    However my experience was different at the Best Western in Pensacola, Florida where I stayed for 3 nights for a family reunion trip during Blue Angel weekend. The average cost per night was ($150-$210) per night which I was told was due to it being Blue Angel weekend. Based on my years of experience at the Best Western in Athens, Texas I was expecting for the Best Western in Pensacola, Florida to be at least as nice as the one in Athens especially considering the cost per night was 2x the amount. I was wrong.

    These are my complaints: (1) Pulled back the sleeper sofa and it had wet urine on the plastic part of the mattress (2) The AC sounded made a loud noise each time that it turned off like it was about to blow up. No wall thermostat. (3) Different directions for connecting to the internet for my laptop, Apple products, etc. Never had to do this at any other Best Westerns in Texas, Louisiana, California, etc. They may need to consider getting rid of that Cox internet and going to something like Spectrum. (4) The lobby area was cluttered. Did not look professional to me. (5) The doors on the closet was jammed even though the maintenance man was nice about unjamming it. The only professional thing about this hotel was the breakfast lady who was there Thursday and Friday morning.

    Maybe the hotel management in Pensacola needs to come to Athens, Texas to see how they are able to run a very professional always clean hotel in a small country town for half the price of a Best Western in a beach town. Also, they are going to raise the price for Blue Angel weekend, they need to make sure that they have enough people to clean the rooms properly.

My husband and I drove the 2 hour drive to Wilmington N.C. for he wanted to see the Battle Ship there. We found and stayed at a hotel in Leeland N.C. (Best Western Plus). From being there the very first stay, we loved it. The rooms were cleaner than most rooms in Myrtle Beach (I was a housekeeper at quite a few hotels over a 20 year period). The front desk clerks (Mandy, being our favorite) were awesome. The girls went way and beyond taking care of our every need. We didn't know about the reward points until recently, and we've been regular guests for about 3 years. We signed up for the reward points, for we know prices really rise during the summer.

    We stayed there for our honeymoon last summer (July 1st). It was wonderful. We decide to go back, after several stays, for our 1st wedding anniversary for 3 nights. My husband used up all his vacation leave (paid days off) when I had surgery 3 weeks ago. We couldn't do a lot during our anniversary because I was still in pain and weak. But just being at the hotel (being clean), staying always in the same room; 107, having the little bar within feet, an exercise room very close, coffee anytime, and waking up to a very nice w/o.en attending a good breakfast (included in stay at room), although they should add a little more variety as most hotels here do.

    When we made reservations, unfortunately Mandy no longer worked the front desk. A lady gave us our AARP, plus what my husband brought to my attention a few days prior... that being an e-mail for a free night or $50 off at Best Western. The timing couldn't have been better. She also started to give me a price and adding our e-mail discount to it. But she stopped and mentioned something about a black ---- period where the rates go up. But she followed by "don't worry”, as she was mumbling something about the dates, don't worry, this doesn't apply to you. Yea, fantastic, let’s pack.

    Little did we know, we were lied to, ignored, humiliated. And I just had surgery, plus this is where we choose to relax and celebrate our anniversary, not getting stressed out, as I did. Plain and simple, those people at the front don't care if we ever return. They only care about "The Almighty Dollar". They need to retrain the asst. manager on how to treat guests (that's what her name tag said). When we received our receipt (slid under our door)??? I was shocked! The price that was given over the phone (before we used our gasoline to drive 2 hours, losing w days of my husband’s pay), was about $100.00 more! When I asked the asst. manager??? Why... she looked at me as if I didn't make any sense, in her robotic answer and concern.

    I explained to her what the front desk lady said and quoted us. She continued to say she was wrong. The point is, we may have made a different choice of locations for our special day, if we'd have know. We went by the given price before we left!!! She should have honored that price, but didn't. Instead she wanted me to get hold of the e-mail and get a number for her... blah blah blah… for Christ’s sakes; we're on vacation, not to do her job and their mistake. Stress is not good for recuperating after surgery! It was like talking to a wall.

    Years of working in hospitality industry, I did learn a few things and one was not to argue with the customer. So now we go home and check our mail and bank acct. Best Western took out the first given price before we left to come here. This was on June 21st. Then Best Western took out the price change when were go and when we arrive, being $550.00. Not only is it proof that we were given a lower rate when calling, but you charged us twice, which is illegal. Our once beautiful place will be no longer. There needs to be a change, and by reading these horrible reviews, not only could you lose us, but guests and word of mouth and not honoring what is right, can wipe the reputation of your hotel right off the map! I'm doing a dispute with my bank this morning, not with the second price given, but the higher! I'm writing the Corporate Office and keep going!!!

    My husband and I checked into the Maple City in Hormel for three nights in order to attend a class reunion at Alfred University. Except for the rug being consistently wet around the air conditioner, everything went well until we arrived home in Queens when I discovered that a pair of diamond earrings that I had packed was removed from the top compartment of my luggage. That morning, before we left the hotel room we went over with diligence what we had packed. We left the room at 6:00 am to have some breakfast. Then we loaded the car for our trip home. The both of us had been out of the room for 10 -15 minutes. Unfortunately, any pleasant memories of the hotel were overtaken with anger over the theft of the earrings.

    We checked into Best Western in Waynesville, NC on May 31,2017 around 10:00 pm. We were given the keys to room #236 in the back of their building that was wooded and secluded. My husband was getting our luggage out of the truck and I put the key into the door. The green light came on and the door opened, however the latch on the door was closed and I thought that it had gotten stuck somehow. I continued to try to get into the room with the key I had been given when suddenly a young girl with a small child came to the door and asked me what I was doing? I could not believe that I had just tried to break into this young lady's room and I was terrified when I realized what could have happened in that situation. That night could have ended very badly!! I cannot believe this could happen. I will NEVER be at a Best Western Again.

    After exclusively using Best Westerns for six to seven years and never using the points earned we contacted their rewards customer services. We had very few points in our account. We went over our account and they did not have any records of most of our stays. We were told that we have to keep our records and monitor our points ourselves and if they do not show up in six months on our account they are just lost. We find it very strange that so many of our stays with Best Westerns and using our rewards card has never been in their records at all.

    We never imagined they would take advantage of us like this. We do not stay with them any more. We should have never put our trust in using their rewards system and thinking they keep track like we were told they do. Our stays were never for business, so we never kept most of our receipts more than a couple months to keep bank records up to date. Never thought rewards points earned would ever be an issue. I can imagine this might happen very often and many people could be victimized and not even know it.

    I just stayed at this hotel and one of the reasons I chose it was because they advertised a hot breakfast. They limit breakfast to one hot plate. I didn't know this until I asked if we are allowed seconds. Instead of the cook saying, "No sorry, we don't allow seconds", he gave me attitude and loudly said "Oh so you want two breakfasts," in front of everyone in the dining room. At first I didn't know what he meant, since I was not told hot breakfast was limited to one plate per person. I asked the front desk and they confirmed it's only one hot plate per person.

    Please let customers know at registration that you are only allowed one hot breakfast plate per person. You may also want to put a sign in the dining room. Or better yet, don't offer hot breakfast if you are going to limit it, and then not like to tell people. I have stayed at cheaper hotels with hot breakfast buffet style, not limited. I travel a lot and write for two travel blogs and will not be recommending this hotel for this reason.

    We came from Maine to the Best Western in Moss Point, MS. We picked this place because it has a pool that I could be in while my husband worked down here. I have a service dog that I can't be without. So I went down to the pool and of course brought my service dog. It is about 90 degrees but they (BW) wanted my service dog to stay on the hot cement in the beating sun and not go in the water. (We were quietly swimming around when I was told this.) Which now means I can't go to the pool. Anyone with a service dog or any pet should stay clear of this place!!

When we said something to the clerk at the front desk that night the clerk said she would let the management know in the morning.

    I made reservations at the Best Western on 2633 NE 43rd St Kansas City, MO. It was listed under hotels near Briarcliff in Kansas City. I booked there thinking it would be one of the better Best Western hotels because it was near Briarcliff in Kansas City. Wrong! DON'T BOOK HERE!! The hotel is in a rundown area and the hotel itself is rundown. We arrived and decided we didn't want to stay. We were charged for the night because I did not cancel in time to receive a free cancellation.

    I'm disappointed in making this reservation and had I known of the poor conditions I would not even booked it in the first place. Poor online representation of the room and lobby. The place didn't look bad on website but it definitely did on actual seeing it in person. I'm writing this review to warn others not to book at this location. There are cleaner nicer places down the road that are the same price and worth the extra few miles to travel to get better accommodations. Lesson learned on my part. Needless to say I will not book here again and I'll do better at booking after seeing a hotel onsite rather than site unseen. I hope travelers will take note of this review.

    Made and paid for two nights through Expedia. The hotel looked very new like it was recently built. It had a pretty clean and inviting pool. We checked in and I asked if they had a roll-a-way bed. The answer was no. No big deal. We were then told that they were going to put a hold on our card for $150.00 for damages that could occur. I am sorry but I am over the hill and partying days are way behind me. Not only was this not necessary but it was not a hold, it was a charge according to my bank, so three days later now and I am still waiting for a refund.

    Our kids were driving us crazy about going swimming so we get ready to go down to the pool. (Keep in mind, this is Louisiana and it is hot in late April.) The kids run back up to the room and tell us that the gate was locked. I called the front desk and the lady told me that the pool was closed for the season. What Season? That is ridiculous. She then proceeded to tell me that it says that on their website, so as I had her on the phone I went to their website and saw nothing of the sort. She still argued with me.

    When it came time to sleep, we had two double beds in our room and a fold out couch. Both double beds felt like you were lying on a stack of plywood. The pillows were the size of couch throw pillows and did not support anything. We didn't sleep very well to say the least. The TV in the room was the size of one of my computer monitors at work, it looked to be a 21". Hot water? What hot water? You had to keep the handle all the way on hot to get warm water. Be forewarned, there is no elevator at this two story hotel, just another way that they tried to save money during construction. We are loyal to Best Western almost everywhere we travel to, but this Best Western, Thomas Road, West Monroe, LA, we will never stay there and will not recommend this place to anyone. When I did complain about all of this to the owner, his reaction was for us to just deal with it.

    Booked a reservation at this hotel back in December 2016 for a stay in April 2014 for an event that we do each year at this time. I have stayed at this hotel for the last five years and never had any problems or complaints. The hotel was previous a Comfort Suite Hotel but changed hands to a Best Western. At the time of making the reservation was quoted a price of $79.95 a night. Upon arrival the price had been changed by the (New Owner?) to $79.95 one night and the next two nights $118.95. With my bill totaling $360.00 for 3 nights. To make the matter even worse the room was moldy, had a horrible odor like the carpet had been wet and mildewed. The air that was coming out of the AC had a bad smell. I reported it several times and an attempt was made to eliminate the smell with no success.

    I can honestly say that the staff was very nice all but the owner who refused to adjust the price. He argued that I had never received a room at that price in the past. Even though I had a receipt for the previous year when it was a Comfort Suite showing the price of $68.00 a night with a total for the three nights $234.09. All hotels in the area were booked so I had no choice but to pay the price. After this horrible experience with this hotel, the owner and the stench I will of course never stay in this Hotel again. Needless to say I don't know that I will ever stay in another Best Western Hotel again. It is bad business to change a price for a room you had booked months in advance at a previous price. My recommendation to anyone is to never stay at this Hotel.

We were advised there was no cleaning staff available until the next morning and they gave us clean sheets.

    When the morning came on 2/25/17 around 9:30 am the hotel staff came around to each room advising the hotel was closing due to a sewage backup. We had to pack up our things and find another hotel for the next 3 days of our stay... on Mardi Gras weekend. Then we had to pack all of our things nightly and shuffle between three different hotels, because of the backup of sewage at the Best Western. There was no "walk the guest" compensation.... nothing but a "Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am."

    Tried doing online reservation. Wouldn't let me. Called asked if I had any reservations. Was told no then find out today I had 1 for this past weekend. Called directly to hotel. No help there. Called customer service told nothing they could do. Well we have a group coming in to stay there this month. By the time I tell them of your actions I doubt they will be staying with you. These are all my family. About 20 rooms. I've worked the hotel business. I know how it works. You have very sorry customer service and you don't work with people at all. Just a money grabber business. Will never stay in another of your hotels again. Will sleep in my car first before I give you any money.

    I booked a 3 night stay at a local hotel for my mom and her husband while their house was exterminated for termites. I used priceline.com in hopes of getting a slight discount. I received a great deal (about 50% less than regular rate). The savings were applied to the cost of replacing her rear window. Her car was broken into and robbed on her second night stay at the Best Western Hotel in Salinas, Ca. If your car is broken into and items are stolen the hotel says "too bad" - at least thats what the Best Western in Salinas, Ca says.

    After doing some research, it turns out the exact same crime has occurred at this Best Western hotel as recently as 3 months ago (entire rear window smashed with big rock, items stolen while parked at Best Westerns Guest parking lot). Surveillance video captured all of it - but we, the hotels guests - are 100% responsible for what happens to our property while staying with them (we have full coverage auto insurance but they only cover a small percentage of the cost of buying and installing a new window for a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder - total we paid out of pocket for vehicle repair was a little over $500 (not including what was stolen).

    The car was broken into at 6:07 am. My mother discovered the break in at 8:30-ish am. The car had a Best Western parking permit with valid i.d. # on the dash as instructed, yet the hotel did not inform her at all about her car. The morning shift replaced the night shift during this time as well. The morning shift couldnt find any notes from the night shift regarding the incident. One employee (who my mom thought was security) told her the window was probably broken by a couple who had been "fighting" in the parking lot early in the morning.

    Best Western failed to assess and handle a situation they acknowledged being aware of. Best Western failed at logging any of this situation. Best Western did not contact the Police nor did they contact their guest (my mother). Best Western has had vehicle break ins executed almost identical if not fully identical to this one in the past, one as recent as 3 months ago.

    Best Western states they provide "Sufficient care" for their guests' personal property but are not liable for stolen and/or damaged property belonging to their guests. They should be fully liable based on negligence. They did not tell us they do not have any security. They did not inform us of any prior break ins in their parking lot. They did not have any warning signs in their parking lot regarding the safety of guest vehicles or leaving property inside vehicles other than the permit stating Best Western provides "sufficient care". I would like Best Western to define "sufficient care" because it is obvious there is zero care. Salinas, Ca is notorious for its high crime rates.

    One would think a well known Hotel name like Best Western has proper security for the protection of each paying guest and their property. Thinking they do is a big mistake. The negligence on behalf of Best Western can seemingly point to an inside job. I booked my mothers room through PriceLine.com for one heck of a discounted rate. It might sound a little crazy but what are the odds this is entirely an inside job? The odds are not as crazy as they might seem to be given the fact at least one employee stated he knew about a fight between a couple in the parking lot but chose to ignore the situation entirely. I think the hotel should've paid the cost of repairing the car so I am seeking a lawyer.

    First they lost my reservation because of the new computer system. I was lucky I called before I arrived. After checking in we went out and returned or tried to return and they said only registered guests can go up to the room. I had my daughter and a few other people that were going to come up and not stay overnight. I wasn't even allowed up to my own room for over 20 minutes while we tried talking to this staff member that acted like a prison guard!! Finally I was allowed up and then after an hour my daughter's boyfriend and friend paid 20 dollars each more to come up! Then I called down to ask for a taxi as my friend was leaving. I was looking outside to see if the taxi was there before she went down and then I see three police cars pull up and start rushing up to people below. I wasn't sure what was happening but it looked intense.

    Then I see one police point at my area. I thought "oh they don't want us to look so I went back inside." Then I get a call from the desk that we are being evicted!!!!! I said "what? Why!" He said the police are coming up. So they came up, told us to leave and there was 9 police officers and my daughter, myself and my daughter's friend. I asked "why are we being asked to leave." He said "the hotel said you threw something off the balcony." I said "that's not true. Please go look from our balcony." There of course was nothing to see but they said they had to listen to the hotel and watched us pack. I have never ever had a problem with any hotels ever! This is unbelievable. I am in shock! We are extremely upset. Please never stay at this hotel. It's your worst nightmare.

    Very bad experience. In the first time in my life I face this in a hotel!! I booked 5 nights in Best Western Plus-Dubai (4 rated stars) and I called internationally 2 days before my arrival date and confirmed my reservation and got the confirmation numbers. I sent 3 emails to the hotel asking for detailed booking information. Nobody answered me. When I arrived there, the woman on the counter told me, "Sorry we have no vacant rooms" and we have to stay this night in another near hotel they own. Then we could be transferred to Best Western again the 2nd day. She gave me no choice but saying ok. When I went to the other hotel (El Khaleej) I found it horrible. Bad smell everywhere, restrooms are awful unclean, smelly beddings. Each room supposed to have a kettle and cups. Mine didn't have any and when I asked for them the man of the customer service gave me dirty kettle and dirty cups telling me "You go clean."

    This the worst hotel experience in my life. When I tried to talk to Best Western again to solve this problem and at least book me this night in another same standards hotel, they said, "Sorry we couldn't find any rooms in any Dubai hotel!!" Could you imagine this?? I mean all Dubai rooms are booked!! Are you kidding me. I am very upset that I decided to not to stay ever again in any Best Western hotel although I used to do and used to prefer it but this time made me change my opinion and of course I'll tell all my friends and colleagues about it and never ever recommend it to anybody.

    Booked a reservation at Best Western Plus in Rancho Cucamonga California several weeks in advance. After a 7 hr drive we arrived and checked in. We went to our room to find that it was not what we reserved. We were given a room with no bathtub which is necessary for us when traveling as we have back problems and soaking in a hot tub before retiring for the evening helps with chronic pain issues. We told front desk room was not what we reserved and that we needed a room with a bath tub. We were told "sorry, we're sold out, maybe tomorrow we'll have one". We returned to our room, not happy but we were exhausted and needed rest. While unpacking I went to move the coverlet from the foot of the bed and saw what clearly were dried, milky white remnants of bodily fluids from prior guests. DISGUSTING!!

    I took photos and called the front desk again and complained that the room was not clean and demanded a new room. Again we were told "we know you want another room but we're sold out, maybe tomorrow. You booked with Expedia, you have a problem, contact them!!!" What!?? What difference does it make who we booked with? Expedia is not responsible for the condition or type of room. The Best Western employee was rude to their guest and after we complained to Expedia reservation service, they called Best Western and experienced the same RUDENESS from the front desk. Never again. We are reward members but clearly this corporation has gone to the pigs.

    There was an honest mistake made at the Best Western Burlington Colorado Hotel. I was charged for my dog; when she is an emotional support dog. Showed the letter & they mistakenly charged me $20. When I called to point out the mistake; I was treated so badly. They had to talk to a manager about it & told me I was not Protected for an emotional support due to my high anxiety. The girl laughed at me & was sarcastic. Elizabeth **, a Customer Relations Manager, has done nothing to make amends by Best Western. In the beginning, I just asked for the $20 refund - which I was treated like I was asking for such a Huge favor. Now I feel they should refund me the night's stay for the harassment & rudeness. And no apology got the way their employee treated me.

    There are mosquitoes not to mention noise from neighboring restaurant. I did not sleep a wink. There was none to speak of about amenities and there's zero inclusions. Customer service is also poor and there was no value in the stay. Hotel backs on a bar/restaurant and it's on a busy street in Sarasota, FL. Stay away. People not staying in the hotel eat popcorn in the lobby. Transients? Just saying!

    I have been a BEST WESTERN REWARD member for around 15 years. I desired to use some of my points for two STARBUCKS cards to give to my friends for the Christmas. I requested them on October 28th 2016 and have been consistently put off them saying they are getting them. I have many replies from them but no STARBUCKS cards as of to January 16, 2017. Obviously the REWARD program is good just do not expect them to allow you to use them. BEST WESTERN now by me is considered one of the worse hotels to expect their promise. Future I will look at better hotels with a good reputation and not make false promises.

    Hotel in Omaha Nebraska had 6 weeks call in reservation then the desk clerk had sold our room choices so not only were family separated but they had us wait in hall after 10 pm while there were kids from age 2 to age 14. We had to get other rooms and no adjoining as we had paid for. We are put at opposite ends of hall. Customer service rep was argumentative. The clerk did not read American English well enough as well as refused to discount during May with graduations and their mess up was really impossible because this was already a prepaid reservation and we lost one room and end up still pay for it but not have enough space for all so we had to play camping trip and three to a bed. I was not so sure this was fair.

    The air conditioner was moldy and the towels stain grey like dirt - not all washed out. There was running water and tissue but no extra towels allowed. Water temperature was tepid and the toilets run non stop so too. The sheets were all flat and slid off the bed too easily yet no one was messing things up simply laying on top of sheets. We can't let little ones down on any of this area so add bugs or roaches and really odd way of hospitality and we will not use that hotel chain again.

    We came to Oakdale Best Western inn to enjoy our new years. Away from busy life. We travel a lot and are use to staying in Excellent customer service hotels, for example the Hyatt, Hampton, to name a few. We came here thinking being close to Sonora, the mountains, enjoy the close Casinos that are nearby, and we come across not only being accused for missing sheets, but also get an early call that we had torn the comforter. Which we did not tear no comforter. And would have been appreciated the manager Jody to take care of a situation like that, but was never available or on site. CATHY, called threatening us we were going to be charged. Not only that when we get the new sheet put on we get the most old looking sheets. Then we have to go down to the front desk about 8 times to get our keys reactivated.

    Not only we go out to the casino and when we come back at 4 am we are locked out By a TRISH. Reactivating our key for only one use, since the other keys that weren't working were in our room. We and personally I have never been treated with so much sarcasm and humiliation, EVER in a hotel. We pay to be here. This Trish and Cathy have a job because of people like us, that rent these rooms, to be able to relax and get away for a weekend from our problems. Otherwise with the customer service they provide, they would be working at McDonald's or not have a job, with the attitude they treat. TRISH laughed at our face where we were so upset, and even threw the bill in our face. That is degrading and humiliating. The corporate office will receive a complaint from us. We paid to have good customer service.

    I arrived at the Best Western Plus at DIA on Monday, December 26th, 2016 to stay for nearly a week for my son's surgery. The first night I was there someone broke into my room after I was asleep. I woke to a crashing noise and saw a man, presumably a guest, standing in the open doorway with his bags. He instantly apologized and proclaimed that they must have given him a wrong key. However, the top latch and the deadbolt were both locked.

    The staff moved me to a different room however I still did not feel safe nor did I sleep. I checked out the next morning requesting a full refund which they obliged. My husband sent an email to the manager that night after he received my text and called me. The manager did not respond to the email and today is now January 1, 2017. I will not stay at a Best Western hotel again as they do not take privacy and security seriously or they would have made sure the latch and deadbolt would provide security as well as prevent someone from getting the wrong key.
