Hotel Best Western a San Bernardino

You Must Stay Here!!! Especially if... You like getting your catalytic converter stolen while parked 15 yards from the front door of the hotel. Also, if you like getting completely ignored by the manager Mr. Solanki when you are requesting the video surveillance footage, then this is your spot! Do you like your emails and phone calls dismissed and never replied to? Then you will feel right at home here! Do you want to go in and speak personally with Mr. Solanki so you, too, can be treated like you don't matter? Then book a room and enjoy all these benefits for the low, low price of $4500 (catalytic converter replacement, rental car fees, insurance deductible, missed days of work and time/energy spent trying to get a hold of Mr. Solanki. I have given Mr. Solanki over 15 opportunities to reply, either through either email, phone calls or visits to his hotel. The one reply he sent was an email with no subject, no message, no greeting, and no professionalism whatsoever - it contained 2 pictures of what he called ”The Incident.” Well, one picture was of a car that was not mine, along with 2 other vehicles that were not mine...so basically useless. The other picture he sent was a screenshot of the time when the first picure was taken off of the video. Again, useless. Other than that, Mr. Solanki never replied. When I finally saw him at the hotel, he refused to share the video. I asked him what he was hiding and he said he wasn't hiding anything. I told him, ”If you're not hiding anything, then share the video with the police.”, but he refused. After that, he just kept interrupting me as I tried to have a conversation with him. Anytime I said anything, he just talked over me. I know of one other catalytic converter theft that occurred at this hotel, so be careful if you stay there. And if, God forbid, something happens to you or your vehicle, don't be surprised if you have ZERO help or support from Mr. Solanki. By the way, corporate has not been helpful at all either. They have replied via email 2x and left a voicemail asking me to return their call 1x, but other than that, they have not been in touch either. I returned their call as requested and left 2 voicemails, but have yet to hear back from them. Just so you know, my family and I have stayed at BW hotels many times and, in fact, we stayed at the BW Plus on Shelter Island in San Diego after this incident occurred. Since they are all independently owned, our experiences have varied, but usually they are good. However, this incident, with the hotel not responding and corporate not being helpful, has changed my perspective on the BW Brand. I stayed here from 4/29/24 to 4/30/24.
