4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013 via mobile

We were three and stayed two nights in the same bedroom. Double bed rooms are small and so are the beds as well. Isolation is not amazing but we still had good night sleeps. We enjoyed the TV and free wifi. Breakfast is totally ok to start your day and staff was friendly.

So I was moving from Brooklyn to Manhattan, and I enlisted my parents to assist me. They booked the Best Western as it was close to my apartment. A day before they were set to arrive, my mom was seriously injured. I called Best Western to try and cancel/even just get hotel credit. The hotel staff did not care. Even... More

Dear Katherine We are sorry for you mother's injury and hopes she is recovering well. Our cancellation policy is 48 hours prior to arrival, the fact is, we offered twice to move the date of arrival to a future date, once by Shadena at the Front Desk and through Best Western Customer Care. Both times it was refused. Best Western... More

I can say of all the hotels I had stay in this was by far the worst. The rooms were not that clean and the staff was rude. As for the free breakfast, go across the street instead. I had a billing problem when I check out and the manger just didn't care.

The hotel is relatively new. Rooms are not large but are clean,fully equipped, and everything works; refrig and microwave included. Breakfast is good and the internet works well--both complimentary. It is two or so blocks from an express subway stop. However, the area the hotel is in is rundown and downright scary (especially at night). One would not expect to... More
