Can't fault this friendly hotel. We paid with Tesco vouchers and had a terrific experience. We had a wonderful, clean, big family room and were adequately supplied with plenty of towels, tea and coffee making facilities. We booked the hotel for touring the Gower peninsula and other attractions, and to this end, we were not disappointed. The leisure club was... More

One of the worst greetings I’ve received absolutely no recognition of the Diamond Rewards status, I wasn’t asked for the loyalty card until I contacted reception from my room to request the competently news paper and then they insisted I came back down to show the card even though they could see the Diamond level via the on line booking....

As a regular Best Western guest and a Diamond Reward member I am sorry that this was not recognised when you arrived at the hotel. As you mentioned, your Reward number would have been included on your reservation and all of our front office staff should clearly understand the benefits associated with each Reward level.

Travelling on business, the things I'm looking for in a hotel are a clean room with pleasant functional bathroom / shower, a comfortable bed, and the ability to use my laptop.
