Best Western International today announced its collection of rider-friendly properties has grown to more than 1,200 hotel locations throughout North America as part of the hotel chain's multi-year agreement with Harley-Davidson.

The hotels, listed on Harley's website offer complimentary wipe-down towels, access to a cleaning station at the property and reserved parking spaces, bottled water and lip balm.

Best Western says it also has free loyalty programs for people who roll in on Harleys -- dangling 10 points for every U.S. dollar spent on qualified room rates.

The hotel chain offers Harley riders who register Gold Elite status, which includes 10% bonus points on every stay. If riders are part of the Harley Owners Group they get upgraded to "platinum elite" status.

Harley-Davidson's online ride planner tool also includes embedded Best Western icons.
