So Many Travel Sites, which one should you trust?
Just today I had a conversation with a potential guest that they were ‘on our website’ and saw that our rooms were 75% off. My eyebrows went up and I said; “that must not have been our website as we don’t offer our rooms at such a discount”.  This potential guest proceeded to tell me they typed in ’Best Western Welland’ and they clicked on the first link.  There you have it, they went onto the site of a travel company that was promoting a discount from a summer rate to now a winter rate, simulating a 75% discount.
We all want the best value for our purchase, so how do you know if you are getting the best deal?  With our booking system, here are a few tips.

1. Make sure you are looking on the branded website. (www.bestwestern.com)
2. There are incentives for booking early (we offer 20% off, and more if you are a Best Western Rewards Member)
3. Add on a third day to your stay, and we’ll give you 15% off (and more if you are a Best Western Rewards Member)
4. Sometimes your plans change. The hotel direct booking can sometimes work with you to negotiate your cancellation penalty, whereas the other guys won’t have as much sympathy
5. Perks – you’re more likely to get a room upgrade or early check in, if you book direct. We can track your stays and try to keep you in your ‘favorite room’

Hope you found this helpful to make your next holiday planning less stressful
