Unbelievable Deals at Winslow's Best Hotel! (Best Western PLUS)
Unbelievable Deals at Winslow's Best Hotel! (Best Western PLUS) - A Review That's Actually Real (And Maybe Slightly Chaotic)
Alright, folks, let’s talk Winslow, baby! And, more specifically, let’s talk about the BEST WESTERN PLUS in Winslow. Seems a bit clinical, doesn't it? But trust me, after a whirlwind trip, I’ve got the lowdown on whether these “unbelievable deals” are actually… well, unbelievable. I've seen enough hotel reviews that seem like they were written by robots (or, you know, the hotels themselves). This? This is the real deal. Prepare for some honesty, a little bit of rambling, and a whole lotta opinions.
First Impressions (and a Near-Disaster with the GPS)
First off, finding Winslow took me longer than anticipated. Let's just say my trusty GPS, bless its digital heart, decided to send me on a scenic tour of Arizona backroads before finally spitting me out at the BEST WESTERN PLUS. After that adventure, I was desperate for a clean, comfortable crash pad. Thankfully, the exterior was clean and well-maintained. The lobby? Bright, welcoming, and thankfully, NOT smelling of stale chlorine.
(SEO Note: Okay, let’s hit the keywords now, shall we? We’re talking about Best Western PLUS, Winslow, Arizona. Need to pepper those in like seasoning.)
Accessibility & Safety: Did They Get it Right? (Spoiler: Mostly Yes!)
- Wheelchair Accessible: They definitely get points here. The entire lobby was accessible, and I saw a ramp that went straight into the elevator and the restaurant (which is a huge win). I didn't test every nook and cranny, but from what I saw, it’s a strong showing for facilities for disabled guests.
- CCTV: There’s CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. Always a comfort.
- Safety Features: Smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, are present. They also have a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security. I didn’t feel unsafe at all.
- Cleanliness: HUGE thumbs up! The common areas were spotless. And, crucial in these times… Daily disinfection in common areas and staff trained in safety protocol. They're covering their bases! There were hand sanitizers everywhere (and I used them!).
- The Dreaded Sanitizing: A big plus, they have anti-viral cleaning products and professional-grade sanitizing services. More importantly? I was informed I could opt-out of room sanitization which is great.
- Room Sanitization: Rooms sanitized between stays.
My Room: Sanctuary or… Disappointment?
First, the basics: air conditioning, check. Free Wi-Fi (!!!) and Internet access wireless, check. (and, let's be honest, I need it to survive!). Air Conditioning worked a treat, which is vital in Arizona. My room was non-smoking (thank GOD), and it felt fresh.
(SEO Note: In-room internet access, which is essential, is a strong point here.)
- Wi-Fi in all Rooms? Yep, absolutely. Fast and reliable. Thank goodness.
- Rooms: Let’s get into the details. The bed was…comfy enough. The blackout curtains were a blessing, especially after my GPS adventure. Complimentary tea and coffee maker? Always a win. Extra-long bed made me feel much more comfortable.
- Bathroom Vibes: The bathroom was clean, with a private bathroom and a separate shower/bathtub. Plenty of towels and toiletries. My only nitpick would be the water pressure in the shower. But hey, I'm a glass-half-full kind of person.
The "Unbelievable Deals" Part: Amenities and Extras
Alright, let’s see what they’re really offering. Did the "unbelievable deals" live up to the hype?
- The Pool: Swimming pool [outdoor] - Yep, and it looked inviting. Unfortunately, my schedule didn’t allow a dip. But it was definitely a nice touch, especially with the Arizona sunshine. The poolside bar, I didn't check out, but it looked popular.
- Fitness Center: Gym/fitness - They had a small gym.
- Food, Glorious Food!
- The Restaurant: The hotel restaurant was decent. They had Asian cuisine in restaurant and International cuisine in restaurant. I went for Western cuisine in restaurant which was a fair option. There was a Starbucks in there!
- Breakfast: Breakfast [buffet]. They were offering a solid, well-stocked breakfast buffet. Western breakfast, Asian breakfast, options – you get the idea. It was a major step-up from some of the sketchy hotel breakfasts I’ve endured. Breakfast service, was efficient and the staff was friendly. Breakfast takeaway service, was an option which was great for when you're running late.
- Other Options: A snack bar and coffee shop, and poolside bar were present and looked nice.
- Services & Conveniences:
- They have a convenience store (always handy for late-night snacks).
- Daily housekeeping was much appreciated.
- They offered laundry service.
- Dry cleaning too.
- Food delivery… again, a huge plus.
Things to Do (in Winslow AND the Hotel)
- The Hotel: While the Best Western PLUS isn't a destination in itself, it's a great base.
- Around Winslow: You’re near the iconic “Standing on the Corner” – a must-see!
The Verdict (and the Unbelievable Deal!)
Look, the BEST WESTERN PLUS in Winslow is a solid choice. It's clean, safe, and offers excellent amenities. The “unbelievable deal” is probably in the price point, especially considering all the included extras and free Wi-Fi in rooms. They have really made sure they have the essentials covered.
My Minor Gripes (Because Nothing is Perfect):
- The water pressure in the shower. Seriously, it’s not a dealbreaker.
- While the staff was friendly, the service felt a little…corporate. I prefer a bit more personality, but I’m nitpicking.
Overall, I’d absolutely recommend it, especially if you need a pit stop while traveling. And the price? Well, it really was a deal.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's pristine travel itinerary. This is the Best Western PLUS Winslow Inn, Arizona, through the eyes of yours truly, and let's just say, I’m not promising a flawless performance. Prepare for the glorious mess that is my trip.
Day 1: Arrival and Instant Gratification (aka, The Pool Edition)
- 1:00 PM: Land in Phoenix. Ugh, Phoenix. Honestly, the desert heat hits you like a brick wall the second you step off the plane. Note to self: invest in a hat bigger than my ego. The car rental experience? Let's just say it involved a lot of sighing and a very sweaty mustache on the rental agent's face. He probably hates his life. I sympathize.
- 3:30 PM: Arrive, FINALLY, at the Best Western PLUS Winslow Inn. And WOW, what a relief! Air conditioning! I practically kissed the lobby thermostat. The check-in was… okay. The receptionist seemed like she’d seen a thousand faces, and they were all equally tired. But hey, she wasn't rude, so I’ll take it. The room? Decent enough. Clean, thankfully. And the holy grail: a view… of the parking lot. But the air conditioning works, so I'm not complaining.
- 4:00 PM: The Pool! Ah, the pool. This is where I'll redeem myself. The sun's beating down like it's trying to melt the pavement. First impressions? The pool is a little small. But the water is gloriously cool. I plop in. Total bliss. I close my eyes. This is what vacation is for. Pure, unadulterated relaxation.
- 5:00 PM: The pool is starting to empty out, and I start to think that maybe I'll go back to the room. But, someone with a large family has just arrived. Oh hell no! Maybe I'll take a longer swim instead.
- 6:00 PM: After a few hours of swimming, the sun is starting to get sleepy and I decide to head back to my room.
- 7:30 PM: Dinner. I'm starving, and the reviews online made a mention of a good burger place about 5 miles away. I'm in. I'll name it "The Rusty Spoke" burger dive. This place? Pure gold. The burger? Juicy, messy, and oh-so-satisfying. I ate it in about five minutes. No regrets. The fries were a nice touch as well. The bartender seemed like he'd seen it all, but the service was good.
- 9:00 PM: Collapse in bed. The air conditioning is my new best friend. Listen to some music. Think about tomorrow, and fall asleep.
Day 2: Standin' on the Corner and Questionable Souvenir Choices
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. I'm getting used to the air conditioning. The view from my window is still the parking lot. Maybe it's beautiful in its own way, who knows? The light is too bright this early. I'm going to have to invest in some blackout curtains for next time.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. The complimentary breakfast at the hotel? Let's just say it was… free. Waffles that tasted vaguely of cardboard, questionable scrambled eggs, and coffee that would wake the dead. I load up on enough protein to stay awake.
- 9:00 AM: Standin' on the Corner Park. Okay, this is why I came. The famous corner. I walked there. It's… smaller than I expected. But there's a nice little park, the statue is okay. The whole thing is surprisingly emotional. There are a ton of the tourists, of course. I even did the silly picture. No shame.
- 10:00 AM: Souvenir shopping. Oh, the joy/agony. I needed a shirt that says "Winslow, Arizona". I found it, eventually, after sifting through about 50 different ones. The shopkeep smiled at me. I decided to buy it anyway.
- 11:00 AM: I grab some gas for my car. I am so angry. The price went way up. Whatever.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. I am still hungry. I don't feel like going back to the burger place. I decide the best option is to go to the gas station. It's not great.
- 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Driving around. I go on a long drive. I stop by the park. I find another tourist location. I go back to the room, where I take a nap.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Decided to try the restaurant by the hotel. Big mistake. The food was absolutely dreadful. The service was slow. The atmosphere was terrible. The only good thing about it was that the air conditioning was good.
- 8:00 PM: Back at the hotel. I sit in the lobby. The hotel is quiet. I find a nice spot to watch some TV, then back to bed.
Day 3: Goodbye, Winslow
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. The last day. I am sad to go.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. This morning's breakfast is mostly the same as the last.
- 9:00 AM: Pack up. I make sure to grab all my belongings, then check out.
- 10:00 AM: Leave. I drive. I think about the trip. It was good, but imperfect.
- 11:00 AM: Hit the road, leaving Winslow in my rearview mirror. Goodbye, you quirky little town. I'll miss you, even with your questionable restaurants and parking lot views. Maybe.
There you have it! A glimpse into my chaotic, imperfect, and utterly human adventure in Winslow, Arizona. No, it wasn't perfect. But it was mine. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. Or maybe just slightly… for a better burger place next time. Anyway, on to the next adventure!

Unbelievable Deals at Winslow's Best Hotel?! (Best Western PLUS) - A Real-Life FAQ
Okay, seriously... are these deals *actually* good? Or is it just hype?
Alright, lemme level with you. I'm Sarah, and I've seen *a lot* of "deals" in my time. And let me tell you, some of them are about as enticing as a week-old tuna sandwich. But... this Best Western PLUS in Winslow? Yeah, the deals? Surprisingly decent. Like, actually worth a look. I snagged one a few months back – a whole weekend for less than I usually pay for *one* night in some dumpy roadside motel. My jaw actually *dropped*.
But here's the messy part. It depends. It depends on the season, the day of the week, the phases of the moon (probably). Check their website (yes, I know, shocking), and be *flexible*. If you’re dead set on a Friday night in peak season… uh, good luck. But if you're willing to be a little fluid with your dates? You might be pleasantly surprised. Don't expect a *yacht* for the price of a canoe, but you could get a really nice canoe for the price of a rickety raft. I’m rambling now, aren't I? Sorry. But yes, generally, yes, they *are* good. Sometimes.

Sometimes.
What kinds of "deals" are we talking about? Anything besides the usual "room discounts?"
Oh, the usual, yeah. Discounts on rooms, packages that include breakfast (which, let's be honest, is usually a continental breakfast you can take or leave... though I'll get to *that* later). Sometimes they'll have deals with local attractions, like the Meteor Crater. (Which, side note, IS worth seeing, even if it’s *just* a big hole in the ground. It’s... impressive.)
The weirder stuff? I once saw a deal that included a "sunset viewing package" (basically, a room on the west side with some cheap wine and a bag of chips). I didn't take it. Still regretting it. I’m a sucker for a sunset now. It’s that whole "wasted youth" thing. ANYWAY. Check the fine print! (Ugh, I hate fine print!) See if there's anything *actually* interesting hidden in there. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you get… chips.

Let's talk about that breakfast. Is it... edible?
Oh. Breakfast. Okay. Deep breaths, Sarah. Deep breaths.
Look, the "continental breakfast" at most hotels is... well, it is what it is. Think: sugary cereal, questionable pastries, lukewarm coffee that tastes suspiciously of yesterday. This one... it's *slightly* better. Maybe. Sometimes they have waffles! (Which I *love*. I'm a waffle fiend.) Sometimes they even have real, actual eggs. Not the rubbery kind. The *less* rubbery kind.
My advice? Manage your expectations. Don't go in expecting a Michelin-starred brunch. Think of it as fuel for the day. And grab an extra waffle (or three) for the road. You know, just in case. I did once eat all the waffles - it was a very difficult morning and had to make a choice.

What about the *hotel* itself? Is it actually "Best Western *PLUS*"? Or is the "plus" just wishful thinking?
Okay, okay, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. "Plus", right? Honestly? It's... better than your *average* Best Western, I'll give it that. The rooms are generally clean. The beds are comfy-ish. The staff is usually friendly (though, I've had encounters with some sourpusses - people who have a bad day, and that includes the hotel staff - get over it, Sarah!). There's a pool. It’s not the Ritz, but it's a solid, comfortable place to crash.
The *location* is a huge factor. I've never been to Winslow as a tourist, but the hotel is conveniently located to the town and access to US-40.
The *real* "plus"? For me, it's the *lack* of screaming children at 3 AM. Okay, maybe there were some kids running around… but I was so tired I didn't hear them. Okay.
It’s… a good hotel. It's functional. It gets the job done. But the "plus" isn't necessarily a game-changer. It's the solid, reliable, slightly-above-average experience you'd hope for. You know, the kind of place that makes you think, "Yeah, this is fine. I could live here... for a night."

Okay, spill. What's YOUR best deal/experience there? Give me some dirt!
Alright, alright, you twisted my arm. The *best* deal? Okay, buckle up, because this is *gonna* be a stream of consciousness…
It was like, three years ago. I was road-tripping, miserable (breakup, don't ask), and needed a place to just... exist for a night. Found this deal online – a "last-minute flash sale!" (I'm always skeptical, but I was desperate for a place to cry - which is why I had to get away in the first place). Like, *seriously* cheap. Almost too good to be true. I clicked. Booked. Drove.
Checked in. Room was… decent. Clean. Bed was… okay. The air conditioning was glorious after a day of driving. Then I remembered there was a pool. I almost didn't go. I was in my comfy clothes! I’m in my PJs! (Which is what I call comfortable clothes… I don’t have pajamas.)
But then I thought - so I went. I remember it was late (I'm a late-night swimmer… it’s calming). There were like, *two* other people in the pool, and it was quiet. The stars were out… and I just... floated. For a really long time.
And then, the most unexpected thing happened. The woman swimming next to me (who I'd ignored, because I hate small talk) started humming. And the song? My ex’s favourite song. I almost drowned in the pool right there! But the song made me think about him… which made me relax… which made the swim… better.
I swam for like, an hour. I came out. The woman asked if I was okay (now I was mortified - she’d been there the whole time and probably knew I was on the verge of a meltdown). I said I was.
And I went back to the room. And I actually slept. Which, honestly, was worth the price of admission alone. It was a moment, you know? Made me realize sometimes a cheap deal and a decent hotel is exactly what you need when everything else is falling apart. And yes, that's a *very* long-winded answer, but that's the deal. That was it. That's what it was all aboutInfinity Inns
