Best Western Senior Discount
Quick answer: Best Western offers a discounted senior rate for guests 55 and older, and AARP members save 5% or more off the best available rate. You book it by choosing “AARP/Senior” as your rate, then show proof of age or your AARP card at check-in.
How much is the Best Western senior discount?
It depends on the hotel and the dates. Best Western doesn’t publish a single percentage for the 55+ rate, because each hotel is independently owned and sets its own prices. AARP’s page promises members “5% or more,” and in practice senior and AARP rates usually land around 5 to 15% below the standard rate.
How to book the senior rate
- Search your dates on bestwestern.com or in the app.
- Open the rate options and pick “AARP/Senior.”
- Compare that price with the other rates shown, then book the lowest.
- Bring a photo ID (or your AARP card) to check-in.
AARP members can also book by phone at 1-800-618-2277.
