Whether heading out for the open road during these chillier temperatures or planning the ultimate road trip for next summer, a certain hotel chain is courting the motorcycle enthusiast.

Best Western International noted its collection of rider-friendly properties has grown to more than 1,200 hotel locations throughout North America as part of the hotel chain's multi-year agreement with Harley-Davidson.

These rider friendly hotels, which can be found online at Best Western Ride Rewards or Harley-Davidson’s trip planning site, offer motorcycle travelers and enthusiasts a host of amenities important to them including complimentary wipe-down towels, access to a cleaning station at the property and often times extra benefits such as reserved parking spaces, bottled water and lip balm.

Best Western also offers the industry's only free loyalty program geared towards Harley-Davidson enthusiasts, with registered members of Best Western Ride Rewards earning 10 points for every U.S. dollar spent on qualified room rates or 250 airline miles per qualified stay at more than 4,000 Best Western hotels worldwide. Motorcycle travelers can register for Best Western Ride Rewards by going online or calling 1-888-BW2BIKE.

Once registered for Ride Rewards online, riders automatically receive Gold Elite status, which includes 10 percent bonus points on every stay. H.O.G. Members receive even greater benefits with an automatic upgrade to platinum elite status, giving them 15 percent bonus points on every stay, complimentary room upgrades when available, plus early check-in and late check-out if available.

"Best Western offers a hotel stay for every type of traveler and we're proud to serve as the largest family of hotels to welcome those traveling on two wheels and ensure their unique needs are met consistently," said Dorothy Dowling, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Best Western International.
