Case Study: Best Western Plus Villa Del Lago Inn achieves enhanced guest experience and sustainability with ChargePoint Smart EV Charging

Best Western Plus Offers Superior Guest Experience with ChargePoint Smart EV Charging

Best Western Plus Villa Del Lago Inn, a hospitality property owned by Dominic Speno, wanted to attract the growing number of EV-driving guests while reinforcing its sustainability commitment and standing out from nearby competition. To do this, the hotel partnered with **ChargePoint** and deployed smart commercial EV charging to enhance the guest experience and support long-distance travelers along Highway 5.

**ChargePoint** provided 6 Commercial Level 2 EV Charging Stations, Network Management Cloud Software, and support, enabling the hotel to offer charging free to guests and paid to the public. The result was strong traveler adoption, excellent TripAdvisor reviews, TripAdvisor GreenLeader recognition, increased visibility to EV drivers via the ChargePoint app, and measurable benefits including higher occupancy and food-and-beverage revenue, along with tracking of usage, costs, revenue, and greenhouse gas savings.
