Why Best Western Hotels Are So PopularPosted by Nick Niesen on October 29th, 2010 With 4,000 plus hotels in 80 different countries, Best Western is the largest hotel chain in the world. Best Western hotels are comfortable without costing an arm and a leg, making them perfect for travelers that are on a budget but still concerned with quality. It?s first hotel was opened in Phoenix, and it is now a hotel franchise, with each of the many Best Western hotels independently owned and operated. No matter where you go, you can find a Best Western at which to stay! Each hotel that operated around the world has a vote in Best Western policies as a member of the Best Western association, making it a bit different from other franchises and other hotel operations in the world. Best Western headquarters, after listening to all of the owner ideas, publishes guidelines every year by which each hotel must be run. Therefore, although each Best Western hotel in which you stay is owned by a different person and may be run differently, there are certain standards the owner and hotel have to meet in order to continue functioning under the Best Western Hotels name. Best Western was one of the first hotels to offer free Wi-Fi access in certain parts of its hotel, and it remains a leader on cutting-edge technology, although the rooms are usually homey and comfortable. Like many other hotel chains, Best Western has a great website that allows you to search for hotel locations, see what special features each hotel has to offer, and book rooms. Package deals are also usually available. These change with the season, but usually include lower prices and are great for travelers who have little time in their busy lives to plan vacations. You can work together with Best Western to not only find great hotel prices, but to also get good deals on airfare, rental cares, and activities. You really can?t go wrong with Best Western. Like it?
