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.

The dehumidifier doesn’t run continuously, so every time you leave and come back the room smells like mold and musky. Reminded me of a sailboat’s cabin that hasn’t been opened in a while. We figured it was only a 3 day weekend and they were fully booked, so we didn’t bother to complain. But by day 2 I started getting headaches and congestion, it cleared up 2 days after I got home. Breakfast was a disappointment. Hallways really need to be shampooed, they are nasty.

My stay at this hotel was the worst experience I've ever had in Panama City Florida. We arrived at the hotel around 9:25 PM after a day of shopping and relaxing at the beach. When we entered the room (room 325) the floor was filthy and the bathroom including the shower was disgusting. We had to clean the shower ourselves before using and lay towels on the floor because it was so dirty. Only two of us was able to shower, then one of us got into bed and discovered the bed was wet. I immediately called the front desk and asked for clean sheets. When the reception came to the room, she discovered the mattress was soaked through. Both attendance from the front desk came up took photos and apologized but unfortunately, they had no other room available. There was no way the four of us could sleep in one unused bed. It was completely unacceptable. I asked for a full refund, but they said they had to contact the manager. When the receptionist called back to let me know what the manager said he was only willing to offer a 50% discount which was insulting considering the condition of the room. I decline and ask the manager to call me directly, but he never did. We ended up leaving the hotel around 11p.m. which was a four-hour drive. I immediately contact corporate and left a message for them to give me a call and they stated that the managers said he was only willing to give 50% off unacceptable. Now I'm taking this matter to the next step.
