Absolutely terrible experience. A man looked through my bathroom window while I was inside undress, and when I reported it, the staff showed no urgency or concern for my safety. I was the one who had ask to be moved, and instead of making it right, they downgraded my room to an old and hot room. The next day the GM later offered some compensation, but the real issue was never about money it was about safety. I couldn’t sleep the first night, I felt unsafe the entire stay, and the night staff were rude and dismissive. For the amount I paid, this was unacceptable. I will never stay at a Best Western Plus again.
