The room appeared to be clean. There was a big roach in our room that we could not kill so that was aggravating Having to make sure everything was up off the floor. Everything else was just ok at the hotel. The breakfast was good. There was one elevator so that could take some time. It served its purpose for one night but it was kind of expensive. It was close to shopping and restaurants. Our room key deactivated the morning we checked out and I had to go get another key. That was invonvienant. Overall the stay was ok.

Dear Best Western Customer Service, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a disturbing and disappointing experience my family and I had during our recent stay at the Best Western Plus in Panama City, Florida. While I’d like to first commend Ms. Kelly from the breakfast area—who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional—this was the only highlight of our stay. She greeted us warmly as we stepped off the elevator, and breakfast was excellent. My entire family enjoyed it, and her attitude was a much-needed contrast to what we experienced elsewhere. Unfortunately, nearly every other part of our visit was unacceptable. The front desk associate, Haley, was shockingly rude and unprofessional. She never asked for ID or payment, and when a glitch on Expedia caused two reservations to appear, she canceled one without my permission—even after I told her not to, knowing it was non-refundable. When I questioned her actions, she gave me the silent treatment, rolled her eyes, and told me to “just call Expedia” with no regard for the inconvenience she caused. When I asked what I was signing, she slaps a paper and room key on the counter and walked away without explanation. My children watched this unfold in disbelief. Later, my daughter said, “Mommy, we saw her roll her eyes at you. She’s lucky you didn’t go off.” The room conditions were even worse: • Stains on the duvet and sheets. • mildew and hair in shower • Dirty towels • One room had a non-working TV

Frown 🙁 Upside Down 🙃 😊

It was a great stay overall after coming from the Ramada by Wyndham I was treated like trash. The hotel was filthy, but this hotel is spectacular. Started with A1 customer service throughout from the night to the morning my children (16 year-old boys) saying they love the staff because they were so nice, helpful, friendly And receptive to them. It was definitely a frown turned upside down. Thank you Best western now my go to…. They just have to fix the black mildew in the bottom of the shower forgot about that other than that everything was great.

All staff were pleasant and helpful. Convenient location. Breakfast was okay but not great. Our sink didn’t drain but they were quick to fix it. We did have a cockroach (palmetto) in our room and housekeeping took our dirty towels but did not replace with clean towels.

Terrible. It’s in a crappy part of town. Halls smelled horrible, elevator takes minutes to open and close (even when pressing the open and close buttons). The room wasn’t the best! Staffing was very nice though.

Stayed 4 nights! Room was clean. It was quiet during quiet hours! First day there we went down to pool, it was greenish & dirty. Never went back so not for sure if stayed but I did see folks swimming. Overall not bad! Worth the money.
