Hotel Turns Back the Clock on March 29,
Offering Guests Chance to Pay Only $5.40 for Accommodations

[Coquitlam, BC] (March 17, 2006) As a member of the Best Western International family, the Best Western Coquitlam Inn Convention Centre will launch its year-long 60th Anniversary celebration with a one-night promotion in March offering guests the chance to stay at the original 1946 room rate.

On Wednesday, March 29 only, two lucky guests at the Best Western Coquitlam Inn will find a commemorative 60th Anniversary Card under his/her pillow, providing the individual with a special $5.40 room rate -- the approximate value of overnight accommodations six decades ago, when the company got its start. The hotel will place a single collectible card in just one guest rooms. On March 30, the winner will wake up to a bill totaling less than today’s average hotel room tax.
