On February 22, 2019, Best Western International Inc entered into a Consent Order with the State of Washington Department of Financial Institutions.

Under terms of the consent order, the business agreed to cease and desist from the violations mentioned above, pay for the unpaid franchise filing fees in the amount of $3,000, and pay for the investigative costs in the amount of $5,600. The Assurance was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law.
This action is final.
