I stayed here for work and didn't choose the hotel. It's nothing exceptional to look at (it's in the heart of Chinatown, which is quite a noisy and dynamic sort of a neighbourhood), the rooms are comfortable enough in a beige sort of way and the breakfast is functional (choose the blueberry waffles: a lot of fun). But what made... More

Arrived Sunday in late April for a week long return visit to NYC. Determined to explore more of this amazing city I had made reservations at the Best Western which is located in the Chinatown/Little Italy section of lower Manhattan. You enter the hotel on the ground floor which only has an entrance and an elevator. Without a card key... More

Thank you for your very detailed review of our hotel. There were many great comments that would assist future guests in determining if the hotel is a good fit for their needs while in NYC.

I originally picked the hotel due to proximity of where my friends were staying. Thankfully, the location was perfect for travelling anywhere in NYC. This was my first trip to NYC, so I may not be in the best position to review, but for price and location this place is tough to beat.....I would easily go back to the same... More

Staff very polite and helpful, property needs a lick of paint and updating, feels tired, Breakfast space limited, and choice poor Free Internet is good, but rooms small and also tired looking, Location is convenient for Soho and is in Chinatown, so convenient Summary Some investment by Western needed to match Staff's commitment to service
