Make Best Western your hotel of choice during spring family travels for a sweet reward. This spring, BWH Hotels offers members of its Best Western Rewards loyalty program the opportunity to earn a free night stay.

 

From Feb. 5 to May 5, rewards members who stay two nights (they don’t need to be consecutive) at BWH Hotel properties in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean earn one free night that can be used for stays through Aug. 25. Members must register for the offer prior to their first stay on Best Western’s website or at the hotel directly.

 

BWR program’s perks are part of BWH’s commitment to caring for its guests and its vision of encouraging one-of-a-kind experiences through travel. The free night can be used at any participating hotels in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.

 

Inspired by Best Western’s new Life’s A Trip campaign, the spring promotion invites travelers to embrace all of life’s imperfections. We all know life and travel are not always easy, but Best Western hopes to remind travelers to cherish the little moments in life.
