I searched high an low for a good affordable hotel which was not rat infested!!!! The Western is not bad at all. It is basically a travelodge. Clean small sized room. Nice power shower. Had a safe. 10-15 minute walk from times square and Maceys. Breakfast consists of cereal, doughnuts and bagels.The hotel is opposite a 24hr mechanic which can be noisy therefore you ideally want a room at the back of the hotel rather than the front otherwise ear plugs do the job just fine.

They are building skyscareprs either side of the hotel but never heard a peep from there so dont worry when u get there that it will noise central!!! It really isnt.

The area does not look all that great but in a week never experienced any probs and on occassion was walking back at 2-3am.

Overall it is a great hotel for the price

The hotel is good value for money. It is located slightly away from times square and Broadway, the buzzing areas of NYC. Otherwise, the hotel has good amenities, very helpful staff.

It's a Best Western and knowing that NYC in this price range offers postage stamp-sized rooms, it worked out fine. I had some hesitation reading reviews here, but the staff was terrific, the rooms were fine, complimentary breakfast a huge convenience, and all in all was satisfied. Especially with the staff. I was one of the few Americans here, with Europeans making up the majority of guests. Breakfast was typical BW continental style. Remember that the rooms are very small (which is typical in NYC) and they could stand updating but free WiFi and breakfast with a relatively central location? You're good to go!

My husband an I took Super Shuttle from the airport and were one of the last to get dropped off. We watched everyone go to these nice looking hotels and then drove through a not-very-nice looking part of time and voila, this was the Best Western. The help staff was very nice, however when we got to our floor, the entire floor smelled like smoke. And when we opened the door to the room it was almost as if the bed touched all four walls. I don't think our luggage would have even fit in the room with us. The place would be good for young travelers really trying to save some money, but for a married couple trying to have a nice stay in NYC it is not the place. We didn't stay the night and instead went to the Courtyard Marriott. Twice the price, but still a good deal for Manhattan and MUCH more comfortable.
