Hard to believe that a hotel chain who had been known for years to have a crown on top has totally changed its tune.

Best Western. They're simply known these days as BW. Technically, they actually ditched their crown years ago, but in 1993, that year's new design still had a variation of a crown atop the Best Western name (with a red W shaped like a crown). It was a look that stayed for 23 years until this week. It's going to be hard to let go of the crown. ...
