Although the problem originated with booking, the Best Western had no one that I could even talk to about the mistake th
Pros:

Booking.com gave me the wrong property, so I can’t give a fair review as I did not get to stay there

Cons:

The fact that there was an obvious mistake and no one was able to address the problem

Surprisingly GREAT
Pros:

I loved the updated comfortable rooms, friendly staff, surprisingly excellent breakfast and the good location (convenient to UNCW, Wrightsville beach, downtown and the airport).

Cons:

Nothing. If I had to make a suggestion, maybe add a pillow or two. But this is a great Best Western.
