Front desk had not processed an Expedia Cancellation when we arrived. Had the email where indeed it was cancelled, front desk clerk had to call her manager to get approval to make the cancellation. Then she finally checked us into our rooms. This was the first time at a Best Western, will be really hard pressed to book again.

Dirty Little Secret to 3rd party booking sites

I learned a dirty little secret of how some of these hotels are using the online booking sites other than their own brand booking. The room they gave us was beside the elevator door which normally wouldn't be a problem, but this elevator door made a squeeling noise each time it opened. I asked the front desk about this and I was told that the room I booked was the cheapest ! I guess that was an excuse to give us the worst room they could ! Of course on Hotels there are many rooms offered at the same price so you don't know this when booking. Also, there was black electrical tape over the TV and Microwave LED's so the Tv remote wouldn't work until I realized what someone had done. I guess the cleaners didn't notice that either. But then this must be the price you pay for the cheapest room on Hotels site !!
