Best Western Plus President Hotel at Times Square - Manhattan, New York

Great location, great price..

This was my and my family's first trip to NYC and this was the perfect hotel for us! I liked the proximity to Time Square, I am glad it is not exactly on 7th Avenue, at night the crowds are actually quite alarming. I was thinking are they waiting for something to happen, because people just stand around. The hotel is 2 blocks down from a Subway Station, I thought this was great because you walk for hours in NYC so if we got to far from "home" we could hop on a train and be home quickly. The bed was comfortable but the room gets so HOOOOT! It was 40 degrees outside and we had the AC on and the window open. That was my only complaint. Other than that, the staff was so nice, they made us feel at home...I can't wait to go back.

Only troubling thing was the heavy construction that began operating outside my window at 7:00am on a Holiday morning! Very disturbing.

We would like if the people in the resption were more friendly. A smile is also always nice.:)

Perfect location, spaceious room nice bathroom.This will be our #1 hotel in NY

I've stayed at the Best Western President on a few occasions and I find it excellent for the budget concious traveller. The location of the hotel is excellent if you want to be near the tourist-y Time Square but the area itself can be poor for restaurants and eating out generally being mostly chains of eateries or being ridiculously overpriced. The rooms at the hotel are clean with fresh towels every day. Because of the location, it's best to ask for a room on one of the higher floors so the noise of the traffic isn't too intrusive.

Queen size bed with a pull out sofa. It was the first time I stayed there.

I stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights in March 2008. While I realised from reading other reviews that the hotel was a cheap option, I wasn't prepared for the tiny room! I realise that all New York hotel rooms are small but this was not what I had expected. Also, the heat in the hotel was turned up so high that even the air conditioner turned to the coolest setting all night & day in our room didn't help - I was very dehydrated by the time I returned home. The hotel guest guide also said that the hotel had recently been refurbished but the room we were in was old & tired looking. It was reasonably clean though - apart from the long black hair attached to the disposable cups! The location of the hotel is excellent, so for the price you pay, I guess it was a good choice. We also visited one of the Japanese restaurants right next door to the hotel & that meal & service could not be faulted. I would probably stay there again just because of the handy location.

Fantastic location small clean rooms bathrooms extremely small but clean

There was a party of 4 travelling to New York in December - it was for a 60th Birthday - A wonderful time was enjoyed by each and everyone of us. Hotel was very good and we liked the location. Would definately return.

Great room a little small but great location

Great location, just one block from Times square, six blocks from Port Authority, 2 blocks from the nearest subway station. As we arrived they gave us the smallest double room in the hotel, a dirty noisy room on the back side of the building. After my sudden claim we obtained a better room located on the main side, clean but noisy too. The WiFi connection works only in the lobby, the breakfast isn't special and costs about 10 dollars pp. After all a good deal if you use the hotel just to spend the night.

The hotel is very well located in the theater district. We had minor some problems during our stay: room very small, air conditioning system very noisy, credit card not accepted for breakfast. But the biggest problem was that they blocked my credit card for an amount much larger than the balance due, so I had throubles during the following days.

This hotel is in one of the best locations in new york - right next to time sq. It is value for money in comparison but dont forget to add TAX!!! If you are looking for a decent sized room or staff who at least lift their head to look at you then this is not the hotel for you. Prime location - poor service.

This was a fantastic hotel to stay in. THe location couldn't be better, right on Broadway, beside the theatres and the buzz of Time Square. There's a subway station located just around the corner and the routes that serve this hotel link you to the major sights to see. The rooms were clean and spacious and there's a fabulous vietnamese restaurant adjacent to the hotel. All in all, well worth the money.

This hotel charge will be able to be said that value to the location is larger than the hotel value. It is minimum of the room and the equipment of the hotel as the hotel where it stays in two married couples. It might be about 100 dollars a night stay if this hotel is not in Manhattan even if it is high. The sound of TV is extremely small. The bed is too soft. The temperature of the hot water of the shower is low. There is no refrigerator. There is a clean feeling.
