The Best Western Times Square is in a great location. In the heart of the theater district, walking distance to restaurant row. The hotel is tucked away on West 48th Street which is quiet, a contrast to Times Square. The room was very clean, the staff was very pleasant. The room was small but adequate. The hotel was a great... More

Odd hotel, with strange mix of decor styles, 19th c. brothel, Pop Art, with presidential themed art. Great location if you want to be near Times Sq. but otherwise cannot recommend. Our "deluxe queen" room was tiny and the bathroom was so small it was hard for even one person to stand in it. The air conditioner was loud, like... More

This is a great location. This hotel is in walking distance to just about anything you wamt to do in NY Times Square area. The staff was pleasant and very helpful up to the minute we left.

I stayed in this hotel for business last week, it was in many respects as good as you could hope for considering the central location so close to Times Square. The interior is individual and the rooms small, but not the smallest I've stayed in in New York. Unfortunately, my general experience was that it isn't the best place to... More

I stayed here for one night. I booked and paid through a tour operator and because I paid almost USD400 per single room per night without breakfast I thought I was getting a five star stay. This hotel is nothing better than a three star hotel. The only good part is location, but you can get many other better options... More

When I arrived, there was another guest in front of me in the queue. He was requesting a chair for his room. The staff were openly mocking him when they thought that he was unable to hear them. I was put in a room which faced towards the back of the hotel. There was some machinery (I couldn't work out... More

I have stayed at this hotel about 5 times in the last 2 years. Each time I check in I ask myself, "Why am I staying here again?" 2 years ago it was new and clean, every time since it is less and less. The bathrooms are old and dirty and run down. The carpet does not look like it... More
