MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Best Western International hotels hope to earn a
reputation as hog heaven with a partnership with Harley-Davidson Inc.
About half of the 2,100 Best Westerns in the United States and Canada
have agreed to provide perks for bikers, including motorcycle wash
stations, wipe-down towels, tar remover and designated parking areas.
Riders who register for the companies' rewards program also can get
reduced room rates.
Greg Rodd, a motorcyclist from West Bend, said it would be nice to
have a place to wash his bike without worrying about using clean
towels from the hotel room.
"Just the fact that a hotel does something like this means they
understand our needs," Rodd said.
The Best Western in downtown Milwaukee has offered services for
motorcyclists for at least five years, general manager Don Wassenaar
said. A hotel survey found that about one-fourth were more likely to
stay there again because of the perks.
Dain Gingerelli, editor of Iron Works motorcycle magazine, said a
motorcycle-friendly attitude makes a difference to bikers on long
trips.
