Escape to Paradise: Best Western University Inn US - Your Dream Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the supposed "Escape to Paradise: Best Western University Inn US - Your Dream Getaway Awaits!" and let me tell you, after spending way too much time dissecting this little bundle of joy, I've got opinions. Buckle up! This is going to be messy, probably a little rambling, and definitely not your standard, sanitized hotel review. Ready? Let's GO.
First Impression: Accessibility & Other Stuff You Actually Need (and Some You Probably Don't)
Right off the bat, the accessibility thing is HUGE. They claim to be wheelchair accessible. Fingers crossed they aren't just saying that to tick a box. Seriously, it's 2024 people, inclusive hotels are necessary. We're talkin' ramps, elevators that actually work, accessible rooms…the whole shebang. If they don't deliver on this, I'm unleashing a Twitter storm of epic proportions. They list "facilities for disabled guests" which is vague as hell, but I'm hoping they've got their act together. We're taking this seriously.
Now, internet: "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" God bless. Okay, this is HUGE. We all need Wi-Fi, and I'm a little bit relieved to see it. I personally need it.
- Accessibility Breakdown: We're talking ramps, is it elevator-friendly? Accessible rooms? Accessible bathrooms? We need to do our research.
- Internet Essentials: "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms" – whew. Gotta have it. They also have "Internet [LAN]" – what is this, 1998? But alright.
The "Things To Do" Rabbit Hole (and My Own Anxiety About Relaxing)
Okay, here's where things get interesting. "Things to do, ways to relax…" nervous giggle. I'm a chronic over-thinker, the concept of "relaxing" is inherently stressful. But, supposedly, this place has a SPA! With a sauna, steam room, AND, drumroll please… a pool with a view. Now, a pool with a view could be amazing. It could also be a sad little rectangular thing overlooking a parking lot. We’ll see.
- Things to Do/Ways to Relax: Spa, sauna, steam room, pool with a view. Potential for good, potential for "meh". The Body scrub and Body wrap options are intriguing.
- Fitness Frenzy?: They offer a Fitness center, Gym/fitness. Okay, alright.
- Other Relaxing Elements: Foot bath, Massage. Yes, please.
- Swimming Pool: Not just one, but Swimming pool [outdoor] also. YES!
Cleanliness & Safety: The COVID-19 Circus (and My Germaphobe Tendencies)
Alright, let's get real for a second. The world is a germ factory, and I have a mild (okay, maybe moderate) case of germophobia. Here’s what stood out:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Awesome.
- Hand sanitizer: Essential.
- Hygiene certification: Important.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: I want to know what this means, is it a marketing gimmick or the choice to do so?
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Let’s hope they follow through.
- Sterilizing equipment: Now we're talking.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Let's Get Fed (and Maybe Slightly Tipsy)
Food is crucial. I need sustenance. I need caffeine. I need… a cocktail.
- Restaurant Rundown: They offer Restaurants, a Coffee shop, Poolside bar, and potentially a Snack bar… My gut tells me it'll be a buffet…or a sad breakfast… It says they have Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, A la carte in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Breakfast takeaway service. This is… a LOT. It's overwhelming.
- Drinks and More: Bar, Happy hour. YES! And they have a Bottle of water (free? Please say free!).
Now, let’s talk about the "Alternative meal arrangement." What does this even mean? Dietary restrictions? Room service? I need details.
Services and Conveniences: The "Nice to Haves" (and the Actual Essentials)
- Must-Haves: Air conditioning in public area, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests (again! Hope they're good!), Laundry service, Safe deposit boxes, Smoking area (ugh, but necessary for some).
- Nice-to-Haves: Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Convenience store (for late-night chocolate cravings, obviously), Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop (for those obligatory gifts), On-site event hosting.
For the Kids (and the Kid in Me)
- Family-Friendly? They claim to be Family/child friendly.
- Babysitting service, Kids meal, Kids facilities.: Alright!
The Room: My Personal Fortress (or Potential Disaster Zone)
This is where the magic happens. Let's be honest, the room is EVERYTHING. I'm a total sucker for a good hotel room.
- Room Features: Air conditioning, (Additional toilet?? Interesting.)Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Ironing facilities, Linens, Mini bar, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. Okay, that's a LOT.
- The Bathroom: Separate shower/bathtub -- I'm in. I love options!
- Soundproofing: REALLY praying for this one. I need silence.
- The Important Things: Blackout curtains (mandatory for a good night's sleep), free Wi-Fi (obviously), and hopefully, a comfortable bed!
Getting Around
- Transportation: Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service, Valet parking.
The Anecdote (or The Time My Expectations Were Shattered)
Okay, I have to tell you about the last "dream getaway" I went on. The online photos were gorgeous. The reviews raved about the spa. I booked it. I was so hyped. But… the "spa" was a glorified closet with a damp smell, the pool was filled with screaming children who had no concept of personal space, and the "gourmet breakfast" was questionable eggs and burnt toast. (I swear to you, I could still taste that toast three days later.) Point is, I learned a valuable lesson: ALWAYS triple-check those reviews and be ready for disappointment. Okay, maybe not always. Maybe I'm just cynical.
Quirky Observation/Emotional Reaction
I hope the people at Best Western University Inn US are listening. Please, PLEASE don't let me down. Because I'm ready to love this place. I'm READY to be pampered. I'm READY for a vacation. I just need the right ambiance and good vibes.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving into my meticulously unplanned adventure at the Best Western University Inn (that's in the US, duh). And by meticulously unplanned, I mean I booked it, vaguely glanced at the reviews, and then promptly forgot about it until two hours before I was supposed to arrive. Here we go…
Day 1: Arrival, Existential Dread, and Questionable Pizza
- 3:00 PM: Alright, so I finally roll into the Best Western. Ugh, traffic. You know the feeling? Stuck behind a minivan the entire time, blasting some godawful kids' music. I swear, I developed a twitch in my eye from the sheer volume of “Baby Shark.” Anyway, the Inn looks…well, it looks like every other Best Western ever. Beige, slightly sterile, smells faintly of chlorine and the dreams of weary travelers. The lobby is a symphony of weary sighs and the rustle of plastic room keys.
- 3:15 PM: Check-in. The woman at the desk (who I suspect has seen it all) gives me a smile that could curdle milk. Turns out, they overbooked. Classic. Luckily, they upgrade my room (a “suite!”) to make up for it. Score? Kinda. Still feeling the existential dread of being a small cog in the vast, indifferent machine of… gestures vaguely at the world.
- 4:00 PM: Settling into the "suite." Ooh, a "separate living area!" Translation: a slightly larger room with a slightly more uncomfortable couch. The TV is a relic, but hey, at least it works. The view? Oh, the view. Parking lot bliss. Honestly, the flickering neon sign across the way with the word "DINER" is the most exciting thing happening right now.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Okay, this is where things take a turn. I was STARVING. And the only delivery option that didn't look like it wanted to poison me was a local pizza place. "Mama Mia's" – a name that should have set off alarm bells. I ordered the works.
- 6:30 PM: The pizza arrives. And… it's a catastrophe. The crust is like cardboard, the toppings are sad and lonely, and the cheese? Well, let's just say it had the structural integrity of melted Play-Doh. I ate approximately two slices out of sheer desperation. Regret immediately followed. I blame the existential dread.
- 7:30 PM: I try to watch TV, but the local news is brutal. Everything's going wrong. Everything. I flick through channels in a desperate attempt to find something uplifting. Nothing. I end up staring at the ceiling, contemplating the meaning of life (again), and the questionable decisions that led me to this moment.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep. A fitful sleep punctuated by dreams of cheesy nightmares and the crushing weight of being alive.
Day 2: Coffee, Campus Capers, and a Deep Dive into "Mildly Interesting"
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. The sun, against all odds, is shining. I stumble out of bed, praying to whatever god of caffeine exists.
- 7:30 AM: Breakfast. The "complimentary breakfast" at the Best Western is…an experience. Think lukewarm scrambled eggs, rubbery sausage, and the kind of coffee that could strip paint. I bravely soldier on, because I have nowhere else to be.
- 8:30 AM: I decide to actually do something. I'm near a university and, let's be honest, I needed to get out of the hotel so I could breathe. I figure I will walk around the campus. Now, I'm not one for "colleges and things," but… the campus actually turns out really pretty. The architecture is a blend of old and new, the trees are lush, and there's a general sense of… well, potential. Everyone looked so young. So full of life. (Which, of course, leads me to the inevitable thought, "What am I doing?")
- 9:30 AM: I stumble into a lecture in a history class. I am a terrible sneak, I know. I felt like a weirdo, but I wanted to see what it was like. I sat at the back of the class and looked at the teacher. He had a kind of gentle, rumbling cadence to his voice, talking about the social implications of the Great Depression. I almost cried. Seriously. This lecture was actually… interesting. I realized how much I miss learning new things. And oh gosh, did that get me down after. What was I even doing with my life?
- 11:00 AM: Okay, the high of the lecture started to wear off. Now I needed lunch. I ended up in the student cafeteria, which was… something. Another adventure in generic college food. I got over-priced pasta and salad. It made me feel old, but I kinda enjoyed the young-people watching.
- 1:00 PM: I came back to the hotel, and was hit with a realization. The worst part? The fact that I was going to spend the rest of my vacation alone, in a hotel room, with nothing to do. Panic set in. How do you fight against despair? Is there a self-help book for that?
- 1:30 PM: I decided to tackle the problem. I went back outside, searching for a cafe. The streets were bustling with students. I picked up some nice coffee and went back to the hotel.
- 3:00 PM: Sitting on the couch, I decided to finally read the book I had been meaning to, and I watched the rest of the news.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner: I ordered the same pizza. This time, I added a side of chicken wings. It still sucked.
- 8:00 PM: I watched some bad movies. I really can only take so much. I kept on changing the channels in the hopes of hitting some gold. Nothing.
- 9:30 PM: I write in my journal. "I'm never coming back to a hotel. If I don't get out of here I am going to die."
- 10:00 PM: Asleep.
Day 3: Departure & Existential Reflection (Again)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up, pack, and go to Breakfast.
- 8:00 AM: Check out.
- 8:30 AM: Start the drive home, listening to a podcast dedicated to existential philosophy.
- **Throughout the drive: ** I think about pizza. And how much I need to book a real vacation. And whether or not this trip was a complete disaster. And if it was fun. And…well you know what.
- Arrive home: What a week. I go straight to bed.
Final Verdict: The Best Western University Inn was a… well, it was a Best Western. Not glamorous, not terrible, but ultimately forgettable. The pizza, however, will live on in my nightmares. And the existential dread? Well, that's the souvenir I'll be taking home. Would I go back? Maybe. Is there a decent diner nearby now? Maybe. Am I going to learn to make my own pizza? Absolutely not.
