Actually fairly impressed with this hotel room.

After the fiasco that was our time in Texas earlier this year- when dealing with Chris' dad's death and stuff- I had pretty much given up on hotels.
I pulled up the Priceline website on the way to Niceville and chose the one we got a deal on because we are "Gold VIP" status members. I had some reservations because it is a Best Western and the one we have in DeFuniak isn't what you would call, somewhere I would want to stay.
I'll just paint you a picture, a few months ago there was a news story that broke in Defuniak. A "meth"odist nodded out after getting high and her toddler was found in the Best Western hotel next door to the one she was staying in, three hours later.
But this one in Niceville is probably one of the nicest ones that Chris and I have stayed in together. All the rooms we have stayed in for the most part have been in the Wyndym family of hotels. We paid twice what we paid for the hotel tonight for far worse rooms. This room is very I clean and the whole Hotel is very well maintained and up to date. Another big issue that turns me Off When it comes to hotel rooms is that they can tend to have a Weird odor. especially when it comes to the cheaper ones. No such problem here.
@ I am actually really blowe away. Actually @FourWalls when you come back down to visit again, I reccommend you checking out this Best Western in Niceville. Its thirty ish minutes from our house, but its way nicer than anything in town.
So yeah. I may not be thrilled that we aren't staying at home in our own bed. But at least this hotel is nicer than I expected

That's kind of been one of the points of staying in a room. It's clean and close to the hospital. It's just getting expensive. lol

I am a Wyndham Diamond member and so we usually just stay at Wyndham branded hotels, and I get pretty good deals. Plus I get points that I turn into $100 gift cards. All hotels, even within the brands, are sketch. It's the one complaint I have with ANY branded hotel, and that's the lack of consistency. It sort of defeats the whole idea of franchising if you ask me. If I order a Double Quarter Pounder it will be essentially the same no matter where I order it and I know what to expect. But one Super 8 may be super nice and another one might be a dump. You just don't know until you stay.

The Wyndhams we have stayed in have been horrible.
We love Best Western, this one especially. The Tallahassee is oretty nice too.
The one in Defuniak sucks though.

@porwest this room is far cheaper or at least noticably cheaper than the last several wyndam hotels we have stayed in. $72 a night, with free breakfast.

@thislittlepennyearns It can be touch and go. I guess I am just too cheap to care. lol

I think “Wyndham” is from the Latin root meaning “crappy motel.” Seriously, look at the chains in their system: Ramada, Super 8, Days Inn, Howard Johnson’s, Travel Lodge…places where you can get diseases just driving by. They were good 35 years ago when I was road tripping for the BoDeans, but no more.
Best Western is #3 on my list of hotel chains to use, behind Holiday Inn and Hilton.

YEAH. They suck, the ones in TX especially.
I have had some super crap stays at the Holiday Inn too, and we don't have Hilton money lol! We are having to stay in the hotel again tonight to deal with some more doctor stuff tomorrow. And it's another Best Western. Well the same Best Western.
Where are you tonight?

I am glad you like the hotel. We always stay at ones that have a free breakfast and a swimming pool. The last one even had some exercise equipment.
