The Comforts of Home, at the hotel. 

Traveling, when you don’t do it every day for a living, is fun.  I say fun because you get to see new things, try new things, spend quality time with your traveling partner / friends / family, and meet new people, especially if traveling solo.  It’s also great to be able to share all you’ve learned and explore when you get back to your ‘regular’ life routine.

After about 5 nights, we can tend to miss the things at home, and the routines we have, and the things we use day in and day out. At Best Western Plus Rose City Suites, we try to have some of those home comforts for you, at no extra charge. 

The fitness routine: We have a nicely equipped gym with a treadmill, bicycle, elliptical, Peloton, rowing machine, free weights, multigym and even some yoga balls and mats. If you like to run outdoors (weather permitting), there is a beautiful trail, easy to navigate, just behind the hotel where you can run a 10k and not get lost or repeat the same route a few times. 

The morning routine: Do you have a fancy espresso machine at home? During breakfast, we offer specialty coffees from cappuccino, espresso, latte, etc. In your guest room, we have a Keurig coffee brewer, so bring your favorite brew to enjoy in your room. Are you a tea drinker?  Hot water station in the lobby with 24hr access, or request a complimentary kettle for your suite. 

Your meals: Traveling will inevitably mean eating out. Sometimes you just want something small, or you ordered a great meal and want to save the rest for tomorrow’s lunch! You can do that here. A medium size mini fridge is in all guest rooms, including a microwave to reheat and place setting and cutlery to eat with.  Pack your favorite snacks on your next holiday. 

Electronic entertainment: We are certainly connected to our devices and when traveling, it’s almost the third question someone will ask us when checking in ‘what is my wifi password’.  Each guest room is set up on the television with the Netflix and UTube app. Log into your account and have access to all your favorite shows. 

The space: I can’t write this without mentioning the space that you’ll have in your guest room. Did we mention that every room in our hotel has a private bedroom with television and a living room with a television, so no fighting over what show wins, or one could take a nap and not bother the other.  The counter space is great for those snacks you’ve packed that don’t have to be packed up on the desk, it really makes a longer stay that much more comfortable. 

Now that I’ve (hopefully) convinced you that a stay with us is a necessity for travel 2026, check back next week to learn about some great indoor ideas if traveling when it is cold, or rains during your holiday. No one likes rain, but there are some really great places to visit indoors
