Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a hotel rooms partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Wonderful stay. Well situated between retail center and short drive to lakeshore. Attentive staff. Better than average breakfast, including real maple syrup. Surprised by 2 pools. Outdoor looked lovely though late May temps were too cold to make use. Quickly fixed a minor issue despite not being asked to. Would definitely return!

We have stayed at the Best Western Windjammer many times over the past several years while visiting Burlington, and I wanted to specifically recognize Sarah Hammit, the Sales Manager, for being absolutely wonderful every single time. From our very first visit when our son was touring colleges, to Accepted Students Day, Parents Weekend, and now graduation weekend with multiple rooms for our entire extended family, Sarah has always been professional, responsive, organized, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. Coordinating family travel is not always simple, but Sarah consistently makes everything smooth and stress-free, and we truly appreciate her. The hotel itself has always been clean, ...

Let's get this out of the way right up top: My room stunk. I don't mean it sucked, I mean it smelled like dead flowers and unwashed butts. ALL WEEK. I was there for nine nights and every time I went in the room it took a couple minutes to get used to THAT SMELL. It really is the only downside to the BWPlus Windjammer, which is otherwise a great place to stay, especially for an extended period. The staff is AMAZING, especially Sean and Kylie at the front desk. Loved being able to make tea in the lobby, watch one of the Stanley Cup games there, and thanks for the cookies every day! Easy to do laundry, though not cheap. If my room hadn't smelled so bad, it would have been a perfect stay. I ho...

The room itself was awesome! The front desk staff are super kind. We asked for a quiet section where we wouldn’t be disturbed too much by foot traffic etc and were accommodated.. Unfortunately, The guests in the rooms next to us kept knocking on/slamming doors , talking loudly in the hallway (maybe drunk?) at 1am! (They were a big group spread across a few rooms) I understand it is a hotel but 1am and being awakened multiple times past midnight has left me restless with a migraine ! Front desk said quiet hours are from 10pm but guess some guests missed the memo. The room/ breakfast and stuff were great but this experience was a damper. As a paying guest I was not happy with this experience. ...

The week prior I had a horrible experience at a Hilton. Room was gross. I did not know what to expect from the best Western. I will say I was pleasantly surprised with how clean, super clean the room was. From the bed sheets to the cleanliness of the bathroom as well as the living room , entire suite was impeccably clean and I was very happy with that. Staff was friendly and the coffee in the lobby was delightful. I would certainly stay here again. Ps don't go to Charlie's chicken. Definitely stay at this best Western.
