“Stay for the location, not the hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The location of the hotel was my main reason for staying at this property. It is located on Sheepshead bay, which was where I wanted to be.

My room #112, on the first floor had a funky smell, perhaps from a cleaning product, that lingered and was very unpleasant. I am not particularly susceptible to odors, but this one was vile.

The room was small, but clean. The beds were comfortable and the bedding clean, white and seemed quite new.

The room was handicap accessible. The fiberglass shower, which allowed a wheel chair to be rolled into it, had cracks in the floor that were cosmetically unpleasant. There was no shelf for soap or shampoo which was a big inconvenience. Water flooded from the shower onto the bathroom floor despite being careful to avoid so doing. This happened despite a plastic lip at the shower floor.

Next to the sink was a wire shelving unit. Unfortunately there was no flat surface on top of the wire grid so you couldn't put your toothpaste, shaving gear, etc. down on a flat surface. I had to keep everything in its carrying bag.

The television worked, but was old, was not a flat screen high definition set, and the color was poor.

I expected more for a room that cost $189 a night before taxes.

“Saw a bed bug!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011 via mobile

Saw a bed bug in my room! Was moved to another room which smelled like an ashtray. Price very high for what you would get even if the place was cleaner. Manager's response was to avoid contact with me. Will not stay here again.

Dear Guest,

As you are well aware, our hotel is located across the street from Sheepshead Bay. As a result, in the Fall, Early September especially, we occasionally see Water Flies on the bay. Once in every few years, these flies reach the hotel. It has never been an issue before this as simply closing the windows will resolve the problem. These insects do not bite (you were not bitten) and do not harbor like bed bugs (you have had nothing further).

Our hotel's staff removed all contents of the room after your complaints and found nothing. Our hotel undergoes monthly professional extermination by a nationally recognized company. In our extreme concern, they were called to the hotel the day after you checked out. They too did not see anything of what you are describing. Calling any bug one sees a bedbug based on no symptoms and no real knowledge is reckless in the hotel business.

A glance of our Tripadvisor reviews will reveal that customer service and hotel cleanliness are very important to us. We strive to give all customers the best hospitality possible and will not rest until we accomplish this.

“Never disappoints - will return again.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

Immediately, as I pulled into the driveway I was greeted by an employee, who helped me with the stuff. Check in was a pleasure, the front desk staff - very cordial and helpful.

The room was fresh smelling and clean. The bathroom spacious. The vanity stand - was a bit awkward. I wish they had a safe box in the rooms -that would be a definite plus.

I stayed at this Best Western twice, as a woman who travelled alone the place is safe!
They serve a continental breakfast - it's okay. Cereal, coffee, muffins and such.

I will definitely return to this hotel.

“Pleasant, hospitable, good price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011

Looking back at the older reviews, obviously either the staff or the policy has changed. The staff were helpful, hospitable and answered our every need. We had no problem to change our reservation and even managed to cancel one night and get a full return, when we realized that we needed to be near to a different area. We stayed during the winter and it was not full, so I guess that in the summer there are more guests but it is great to be so close to Coney Island and Kennedy airport. The rooms were spotless, pleasant, comfortable, and had many amenities; lots of parking, and buses nearby; breakfast was a complete meal, there were multiple choices and unlimited amounts and kept us full until evening, and all-in-all it was a very worthwhile and cost-effective. We enjoyed it and had absolutely no complaints.

“Nice staff, small rooms, free parking”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

My daughter and I stayed here for a dance competition at a local community college. The staff is very friendly and responsive. The rooms are small, but clean. Through my error, we got a smoking room. Due to the dance competition, we couldn't switch, but they quickly brought an ozone room deodorizer. Area seems very safe. Maria's Ristorante 2 blocks away is nice. Free Continental breakfast includes scrambled & hard-bouled eggs and sausage patties with the usual coffee, tea, juice, bread, bagel, pastry farem parking is free but tight.
