Small, old, a little rundown, but LOCATION and price are hard to beat. Rooms are tiny, a/c barely kept up, etc. BUT, I would stay here again because of proximity to so many attractions. more

Clearly this hotel has two sections, a reasonable area and an area reserved for the waiting room to hell. We unfortunately were in the latter. This hotel has a mixed bag of reviews and ours is simple - on arrival the manager (who looks like Dr Marvin Monroe from the Simpsons) greeted us with a role of the eyes and... more

Really, do NOT believe these other reviews. And believe me, I want to pay for gas prices as they were advertised six months ago, but that ain't gonna happen. I read reviews prior to arriving and was prepared to mace the front desk, run a gauntlet of bums and muggers to the elevator, climb up the broken elevator's cables to... more

We were in New York City for the marathon. Needless to say there were tons of people in the city. We booked the Best Western because it was in the heart of everything in Manhattan while not completely draining your pocketbook. The location is great! The hotel itself was only average. The rooms are on the small side but we... more

My friend and I stayed here for from June 30th to July 3rd and had a wonderful experience. We came into the city early and asked if they would be able to store our luggage until the room was ready so we could got out and sight see...not a problem. We came back later and our room was ready. We... more

I'm sorry, but this place can only be described as a shabby little dump of a hotel. The location is prime in NYC, and it's got a parking garage across the street, for those of us who often drive to the city (but be prepared to pay some $25 / day!!!). These are the only two pros I can think... more

My sister and I went to NYC for a fun weekend and had booked the Hotel Carter online initially. That place was disgusting, so I started searching for another inexpensive (but CLEAN) hotel and ended up booking the Best Western. WE LOVED THIS PLACE!! They were very accomodating and the room was perfectly clean and sufficient for our needs. It... more

I stayed here for six nights from May 29th to June 4th, and was quite nervous beforehand having read the various less-than-complimentary reviews. Given the lateness of my booking, I had little choice in where I could stay, so I bit the bullet and opted for the President Hotel. And boy am I glad I did. Either I got the... more

I saw all the reviews before staying and honestly was a bit scared. When you enter the lobby, it is old and not crisp and clean. The staff was not incredibly helpful but weren't horrible as others have said. They are understaffed is my take. I had a bad experience on entering my room as it wasn't finished with housekeeping... more
