Khaoula has been wonderful since the day we arrived she has been amazing with us. The bedrooms are confortable. No carpets which is a big plus. CLEAN. The service, no words but absolutely amazing. One more time, if you need something do not hesitate to ask they might be able to help you and make you have an excellent experience and stay. Rooms are great, space is limited but it does not bother me or my wife, so clean very clean, the location is amazing. Zero regrets.

In 3 days not once did the room get serviced and the safe did not work , despite reminders no action was taken. When reported again at check out today the response was “busy” awful hotel , reception team just could not care less
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sincerely sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations, particularly given the rate you paid and the level of service you understandably expected in return. We apologize that your room was not serviced during your three-day stay and that the safe remained unresolved despite your reminders. We also understand how disappointing it must have been to raise the issue again at checkout and receive a response that left you feeling that your concerns were not being taken seriously. Your experience with our reception team is especially concerning, as you should have felt heard and cared for throughout your stay. We take your comments about housekeeping, maintenance, and the level of attentiveness from our team seriously. Your feedback will be shared with the team so these areas can be reviewed and addressed. We regret that we fell short of providing the attentive service and comfortable experience you expected. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.

Amazing location, in the middle of many attractions. The room was clean and beds were comfy. Staff were very accommodating, particularly Christina who offered support throughout our stay! Overall, extremely positive experience.

We're delighted that you had an extremely positive visit and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next trip!
The hotel is centrally located, clean, and the rooms well maintained and comfortable. The staff at the front desk was professional and friendly. Why only three stars? We had a significant problem with noise transmission between rooms during our stay. At about 2:00 am, we were awakened by guests in another room having a loud argument. The voices were remarkably clear and sounded as though the people were actually in our room. We eventually determined that the sound was coming through a ventilation duct in the corner of our room. After our stay, I noticed that some other guests have reported similar problems in their reviews. This makes me concerned that there may be an ongoing soundproofing issue. I should note, however, that the front desk (after we called twice) was able to stop the noise from continuing, apparently by speaking with the other guests.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback about your stay. We are glad to hear that you appreciated our central location, cleanliness, well-maintained and comfortable rooms, as well as the friendly and professional service from our front desk team. We are truly sorry, however, that your stay was disrupted by significant noise from a neighboring room. We understand how unsettling and frustrating it must have been to hear the conversation so clearly and to feel as though the noise was coming from within your own room. Your observation about the ventilation duct and the possibility of sound transmission is particularly helpful, and we appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention. We are pleased that our front desk team was ultimately able to address the situation and stop the noise by speaking with the other guests. That said, we recognize that having to call twice and being awakened in the middle of the night is not the peaceful experience we want for our guests. Your comments about similar reports and the potential for an ongoing soundproofing concern are important, and we will be sure to share this feedback with the team for further review. Thank you again for acknowledging the positive aspects of your stay while also being candid about the issue that affected your experience. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and hope that a future visit will provide you with the quiet, comfortable stay you expected.

Staff here were so amazing and kind throughout our stay!

I had a wonderful stay at the Best Western Empire State Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting New York City. The location is absolutely perfect—centrally located and within walking distance to major attractions, including the Empire State Building, restaurants, and public transportation. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the front desk staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to assist with any requests. Their hospitality truly made a difference throughout my stay.(kudos to Christina, Shriya, Jhun, Khaoula) The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. Housekeeping did a great job keeping everything spotless. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a long day exploring the city. I also appreciated the hotel facilities, including the easy Wi-Fi access, security features, and convenient access to amenities like the elevator and common areas. Breakfast was a nice addition, with a good selection to start the day. Overall, the service, cleanliness, and location exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in NYC. Thank you to the entire team for a great experience!

I stayed at this hotel for a business trip and added a few extra days for some personal time in NYC. Overall, I had a great experience. The hotel is no-frills, but in a good way. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Manhattan and close to everything you might need. There were grocery stores, bars, and restaurants all around, and the subway was also conveniently close, making it really easy to get around the city. The room was modern, clean, spacious, and included a mini fridge, which was really handy. One small improvement would be to have complimentary bottled water stocked in the rooms. There is a vending machine available, but unfortunately it wasn't working during my stay, which was a bit disappointing. The absolute highlight for me was the staff. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help with anything I needed throughout the week. Special kudos to Khaoula, who is absolutely lovely and helped me with so many requests during my stay. She was always sweet, helpful, and made a real difference in my experience. Would definitely stay again!

We have already visited several hotels of this hotel chain in the USA, but this location really stands out very positively! The rooms were clean, the mattress was good, and the breakfast was sufficiently extensive to start your day. What was really exceptionally good was the staff. Both the cleaning ladies, the man who took care of breakfast, and the people at the front desk were very friendly. Especially KHAOULA really made the effort to make you feel welcome. There was a small problem in our room, due to our fault, and Khaoula solved this immediately without any extra cost. In no Best Western location have we been treated so sincerely friendly. I recommend anyone visiting NYC to choose this hotel; the very central location in NYC also plays a role.

I spent 3 nights at Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel. I was very impressed on all levels. Most importantly ALL staff had the same dedication to pleasing the customer, politeness, making things as convenient as possible, like extending the check out time, providing iced water all day everyday which says they care about the environment and people's wellbeing. The small cafe and common area is comfortably arranged with adequate coffees and teas. Rooms were spotlessly clean, beds crisp, new towels, and floors clean enough to walk barefoot. For New York City, the rooms were affordable. I highly recommend this hotel and would come back for another stay.

We stayed at this best western while in NYC for our kids spring break. The location was within easy walking distance from Penn Station, subway and all other places we wanted to see. The room was ready early when we arrived at 11:30am and they held our bags after checkout since we were leaving later that evening (for a minimal fee). The staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. No refrigerator but we knew that going in and didn't need one. Reasonably priced for staying near all the sight. Would stay there again!

Way beyond the usual Best Western experience in terms of cleanliness, decore and customer service at check-in. Room was tastefully and smartly appointed. Staff was unusually welcoming. Individuals at front desk were knowledgeable about the immediate area and expressed interest in my visit generally.

Bland, old, hot water was terrible. Breakfast? Location alone is not enough to be called premier. I wound not stay again.
Dear concernsn, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We apologize for the issues you encountered with the hot water and that our breakfast offerings did not meet your needs. We appreciate your honest comments regarding the property and its amenities, as they help us identify areas where we can improve. While we are glad the location was convenient, we understand that a comfortable and well-appointed stay is equally important. We hope that if you choose to travel in our area again, we might have the opportunity to provide a better experience for you. Signature: Mustafah Syed VP of Operations

Service at the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel was outstanding beginning with check- int. Friendly staff (shout out to Christina) – Very smooth check-in and check-out. There is a parking garage next door and the rates were reasonable for NY standards. The property is clean and modern; room was large compared to other places we have stayed in NY and surprisingly, our room not only had space to hang clothes, but also a few drawers which was helpful (and rare in NY). Bed was comfortable, bathroom clean and roomy. The restaurant choices within a few blocks are diverse and numerous. Would recommend and we will def look forward to staying there again.
Hi 802stefann, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that you had an outstanding experience.

We can't wait to welcome you back for another enjoyable and comfortable stay the next time you're in New York City! Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
Didn't stay at our usual hotel between MSG and Bryant Park so we could be closer to East River Ferry which was still a hike. Neighborhood is ok although noisy even for NYC. Sounded like someone vacuuming at 3 am. Room very clean but small with King bed. No frig or free breakfast. $1000 for 2 nights. Probably won't use again
Dear Sarsprdoc, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you found your room to be very clean and that you appreciated the comfort of the king bed during your stay. We understand your feedback regarding the location and surrounding noise. Being in the heart of New York City can bring with it the energy and sounds of the city that never sleeps, and we're sorry that it disrupted your rest. We also appreciate your comments regarding the amenities, such as breakfast and in-room refrigerators. Your input helps us better understand what would enhance our guests' stays. We also recognize that value is important, especially in New York, where rates can fluctuate based on demand, and we're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations in that regard. While we may not have been the perfect fit this trip, we truly appreciate you giving us a try and sharing both the positives and areas for improvement. Should you choose to stay with us again in the future, we would love the chance to provide you with a more satisfying experience. Signature: Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
We started our holiday with a horrible experience, as the original hotel we had booked was absolutely disgusting, and we refused to stay more than one night. We spent our 1st night in NYC trying to find a different hotel,o we couldn't go extravagant as this was an additional cost on top of the hotel we had already paid for. We found the BWP on Hotel.com, and they had immediate accommodation to meet the 6 remains days of our stay in NYC. Anyway, long story short, it was absolutely superb. From the moment we walked in and explained our situation to the fabulous Khaoula on reception, to the moment we checked out. Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, 2 large beds, fridge, coffee making facilities, great size bathroom and a lounge area downstairs. All the reception staff were very pleasant and friendly all through our stay. The location is perfect, so close to 5th Ave, Broadway etc, without having the street full of tourists. Highly recommended
Hi jayneb346, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear how your holiday began, but we are delighted that our team, and especially Khaoula at reception, was able to turn things around and provide you with a comfortable and welcoming home for the rest of your stay in New York City. We will be sure to recognize her for the wonderful impression she made. It's fantastic to know you enjoyed the spacious and spotless rooms, comfortable beds, in-room amenities, and our inviting lounge area. We're also glad that our location worked out perfectly for you, close to Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and all the highlights, while still being tucked away from the busiest tourist spots. Your kind words about our reception team mean a great deal to us, as they take great pride in making each guest feel at home. We are honored by your recommendation and thrilled that we could help make your NYC visit memorable for all the right reasons. We hope to welcome you back on your next trip to the city!
We visited this hotel in August 2025 as a family of 4. Can honestly say this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in NYC. We have visited NYC many times and yes this hotel is small as a bit further away from Times Square but it's a really good hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious enough for your needs . The staff are very friendly especially the assistant manager, cafe associate and our cleaner was good too . Honestly would recommend this hotel to anyone . My grandson and I got stuck in the lift whilst there and the staff were so good especially when my grandson was panicking . We will be back
Hi annabelle c, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly honored by your kind words and delighted to know that you consider us the best hotel you've stayed at in New York City. That is such a meaningful compliment, especially from someone who has visited NYC many times. It's wonderful to hear that you and your family found your room to be clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for your needs. We are especially pleased that our assistant manager, café associate, and housekeeping team left such a positive impression. Your recognition of their efforts will certainly be shared with them, they will be thrilled to know they made your stay memorable. We are also very grateful for your understanding regarding the elevator incident. While we sincerely regret the situation, we are proud that our team was able to respond quickly and provide reassurance to your grandson during a stressful moment. Guest safety and comfort are always our top priorities, and we appreciate your trust in us. Thank you as well for your recommendation. Knowing that you would suggest our hotel to others and that you plan to return is the greatest compliment we can receive. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back on your next visit to New York City.
Best Western has taken liberties classifying this property as “Premier.” The positives: the hotel is clean and updated. The rooms are average size for New York. The bed seems new and comfortable. The TV size is appropriate for the room. Bathroom is updated and the shower has good pressure. That all said, the hotel is beyond basic and offers nothing more than the room itself. There is a water dispenser by the elevator but that's all for free amenities. They have a minimal coffee shop but you must pay for coffee. Who doesn't offer free coffee these days?? Would I stay again? Maybe. Knowing a little about Best Western's classifications, this is more of a “Plus” than “Premier.”
Dear David_Ba928, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and balanced review of your recent stay with us. We truly appreciate your kind words about our cleanliness, updated décor, comfortable beds, appropriately sized TV, and refreshed bathrooms with good water pressure. It's wonderful to know those aspects of your stay met your expectations. We also value your candid feedback regarding our amenities and classification. We understand that complimentary coffee is a convenience many guests enjoy, and your comments will certainly be shared with our management team as we continue evaluating ways to enhance the guest experience. While our “Premier” designation reflects certain brand standards and property updates, we recognize that expectations may vary, and your perspective helps us better align our offerings with guest needs. We're glad to hear that you may consider staying with us again, and we'd love the opportunity to provide an even more satisfying experience next time. Thank you once again for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
We always have a great stay here. Christina at the front desk is fantastic! Perfect location and very comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel.

She's a valued member of our team, and we'll be sure to pass along your thoughtful compliments. We're also glad you enjoy our convenient location and find our hotel comfortable and welcoming. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we're honored to be your go-to place when you're in town. We look forward to welcoming you back for another excellent stay very soon! Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
Very convenient location, within walking distance from the Empire State, the Summit, Times Square, and the Grand Central. Small but very comfortable rooms. Best of all was the excellent service and kindness of all personnel, especially Ms. Khaoula.
Hi DanielTapNos4, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, being just a short walk from iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, Times Square, Grand Central, and The Summit certainly makes exploring the city that much easier. We're also glad to know that you found your room cozy and comfortable perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. But what truly warms our hearts is your kind recognition of the service you received. Our team takes great pride in making every guest feel welcome, and we're especially delighted to hear that Ms. Khaoula made such a positive impression on your stay. She truly embodies the spirit of hospitality, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to New York City!
Amazing and clean stay. I was in nyc very quickly for work. This hotel was perfect. Walking distance to all my meetings and close to great food. Rashid was especially helpful. He ran the front desk and helped me with a ton of things.
Hi 471micahp, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience!

It's fantastic to know that Rashid was able to assist you and enhance your visit, he truly strives to provide exceptional service. We hope to welcome you back to NYC soon, and thank you again for your kind words! Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
The hotel looks great from the outside and the inside. Kept clean and tidy. Sadly our request to be on a higher floor was not met, I appreciate it was busy. The reception team was lovely and accommodating. We were on the 4th floor. Sadly the room next door to us or near us was very very loud 2 out of the 3 nights of our stay which resulted in lack of sleep and stress. There was laughing, banging, screaming till at least 3am. I had to knock on the door next to us to which they said they would keep it down and they didn't. The noise sounded like it was right in the room with us at times, not sure if it had anything to do with the vent in the room. I had to ask the hotel to step in on the second night as we all needed some sleep, sadly the noise didn't die down till early hours despite the hotel team trying which I appreciated. The room itself was small but modern and came with everything we needed. The hotel was very central to everywhere we needed to get to. The breakfast was lovely in the morning. It was a shame about the level of noise we experienced and sadly it would put me off staying again as the rooms are not sound proof.
Dear dannielbaldwin, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. We're truly grateful you chose our hotel, and we appreciate your thoughtful and balanced review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the clean and well-maintained atmosphere both inside and out, and that our reception team made a positive impression with their warm and accommodating service. It's also wonderful to know that you found the room well-equipped and appreciated the central location and our breakfast offerings. That said, we sincerely regret that your stay was impacted by noise disturbances from nearby guests. We know how important a peaceful night's rest is, especially when traveling and we are truly sorry that despite our team's efforts, the issue persisted. Please know that guest comfort is extremely important to us, and we are reviewing this situation to see how we might better respond to similar situations in the future, including possible changes to our noise protocols or room layout awareness. While we weren't able to fulfill your request for a higher floor this time, we're grateful for your understanding and would be happy to prioritize that request should you give us another opportunity to welcome you back. Thank you once again for your honest feedback, it helps us improve and better serve our guests. We do hope to have the chance to provide you with the restful and enjoyable stay you expected and deserve on a future visit. Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
BW Premier on W 30th st is a little gem of a hotel with excellent location, prompt elevator service, nice breakfast cafe and very friendly desk and service staff. The location is close to Emoire St bldg, 2 subway lines, and walking distance to Bryant Park, Madison Square Park and broadway plays.
Dear nahokcaj, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing to stay with us during your visit to New York City! We're truly delighted to hear that you consider our hotel a “mid-town gem.” It means the world to us to know you enjoyed not only our convenient location, just steps from iconic spots like the Empire State Building, Broadway, and nearby parks but also the service and amenities we work hard to provide. Your kind words about our prompt elevators, breakfast café, and especially our front desk and service team will certainly be shared with everyone here. Feedback like yours reminds us why we love what we do! We're so pleased that you found our hotel to be the perfect home base for exploring the heart of Manhattan, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another memorable stay soon. Sincerely, Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
I flew into Newark Airport and was happy to find out that the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel was only about a 10-minute walk from Penn Station. This is convenient if you are coming in and out of the city. The hotel itself is impeccably clean, modern, and has great staff! The agent who checked me in was courteous and helped me get to my room fast since it was late in the evening. The rooms are larger for NYC. They are spotless! I really appreciated how quiet the hotel was, even though it's in the heart of Manhattan. I liked that the TV has lots of stations for me to relax and watch. The location also makes it easy to grab a quick bite or drink nearby. I was only here for one night and really liked everything about the hotel, so I will stay here again.
Hi raymondgonzales1978, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and enthusiastic review of your recent stay! We're thrilled to hear that our location, service, and amenities all contributed to a smooth and comfortable visit. We know how important convenience is, especially when arriving late into the city, so we're delighted that our proximity to Penn Station worked perfectly for you. It's also wonderful to hear that your check-in experience was prompt and courteous. Our team strives to make sure every guest feels welcomed, no matter the hour. Your compliments on the cleanliness and size of the room mean a great deal to us, especially coming from someone familiar with NYC hotel standards. We've designed our rooms with comfort, functionality, and a peaceful atmosphere in mind, and we're glad you were able to enjoy a quiet and relaxing night in the heart of Manhattan. Thank you as well for highlighting the little details, from the wide variety of TV channels to the ease of finding a bite to eat nearby. It's those thoughtful touches that we believe make a big difference during a short stay. We're honored to know that you would choose to stay with us again, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to New York City!
Very friendly staff and clean rooms. The location of the hotel is excellent for walking up and down town. We're looking forward to our next visit.
Hi stephenaU9166SB, Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great stay and that our team's friendliness and the cleanliness of your room made a positive impression. It's also wonderful to know you enjoyed our location!

We're truly grateful for your kind words and even more excited to hear you're already looking forward to your next stay. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and providing another excellent experience.
Great location, clean, not too noisy and friendly staff. Rooms are on the small side but you're not spending much time in there considering where you are! Also very well priced for New York City! Thank you Christina, we appreciate the service - you were so lovely
Hi Jelena_Lakic, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found our hotel to be a great choice for your New York City visit. Our team works hard to offer a clean, comfortable, and friendly environment, so it's wonderful to know that you appreciated the location, cleanliness, and quiet atmosphere, especially in a city that never sleeps! You're absolutely right, our rooms are cozy, but as you pointed out, with so much to see and do just steps away, most guests spend their time out exploring all that NYC has to offer. We're especially grateful for your kind words about Christina. She's a valued member of our team, and we'll be sure to pass along your appreciation. Knowing that her service made your stay even more enjoyable means a lot to all of us. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We hope to welcome you back the next time you're in the city!
Great hotel!! Very clean! ( considering high traffic in Manhatten), organized and run by a friendly helpful staff. Rashid and others were awesome! We stayed on the 7th floor and never experienced long lines for the elevator. Also wonderful location! The hotel in literally in the middle of Manhattan, so easy walking distance to many main attractions, but in the same time it always seemed quiet when we were in the room at night. The building is tucked in and away from crazy busy streets of midtown. Our room was a very decent size for NY with good shower and good water pressure ( bathroom was on a smaller size). We stayed there for 10 nights. I highly recommend this lovely hotel!
Hi A1503FPtatianac, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're absolutely delighted to hear that your 10-night stay with us was such a positive experience. Cleanliness and comfort are top priorities for us, especially in a bustling city like Manhattan and we're glad to know you found the hotel well-maintained and organized despite the high foot traffic in the area. It's also heartening to hear that our team, especially Rashid, helped make your stay even better. He'll be thrilled to know he left such a great impression, and we'll be sure to share your kind words with him and the rest of the team. We're pleased you enjoyed your room on the 7th floor and that elevator service was efficient throughout your visit. It's also great to hear that the peacefulness of your room stood out, despite our central location. We designed this space to offer our guests a quiet retreat while keeping them just steps away from all the action in Midtown and it sounds like it worked perfectly for you! Thank you for noting the comfort of your room, the strong water pressure, and the overall value of your experience. We know how important those details are, especially during a longer stay, and we're so glad you felt well taken care of. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again the next time you're in the city.
What a great experience! I stayed here on an extended trip and loved it! Super comfortable bed, clean hotel, wonderful staff that goes above and beyond and on plenty of space. It's in close proximity to everything you want to do as well, or only a short subway ride. Special thanks to Laura at the front desk and Pranay in security for their stellar service. I'll be back!
Hi lauramD3421VA, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your extended stay with us was such a positive experience. It's wonderful to know that you found your room spacious, the hotel clean, and the bed super comfortable, those are all things we work hard to deliver consistently to our guests, and it's so rewarding to know we hit the mark. We also truly appreciate your kind words about our team. Providing warm, attentive service is what we strive for every day, and your recognition means a lot to all of us. A special thank you for highlighting Laura at the front desk and Pranay from our security team. They are both shining examples of the hospitality we aim to offer, and we will be sure to share your praise with them personally. We're lucky to have them as part of our team, and it's wonderful to see their efforts noticed and appreciated. We're also glad that our location worked well for your trip. Being close to everything and just a short subway ride away from anything else, is one of the perks of staying here, and we're happy it made your stay even more convenient. Thank you again for choosing us. It was truly a pleasure to host you, and we can't wait to welcome you back the next time you're in town!
Comfortable hotel and excellent location at good price (for NY). Khaoula at the front desk was especially amazing - helpful, knowledgeable and so pleasant. She went above and beyond at every turn. The beds were very comfortable and the room spacious by NY standards. Clean and spacious bathroom with plenty of amenities. Plenty of space to hang clothes and stash luggage. Plenty of outlets near the bed to charge devices. The elevators were fast. The iced water always available just outside the ground floor elevators was a nice touch. Ten or so minute walk to Penn Station and 15-20 to theatres around Times Square. Recommend and would stay here again. My only suggestion for improvement would be for them to go back to having the large refillable containers of soap, shampoo and lotion in the bathrooms rather than the small individual bottles (the stand for the large refillable containers was still attached to the wall in the shower, but it was empty and instead the small amenity bottles were lined up on the ledge above the sink). Such a waste from a climate / unnecessary plastic use perspective.
Hi JeanL896, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and found our hotel to be clean, comfortable, and a great value for New York City. We're especially pleased that Khaoula at the front desk made such a memorable impression. She is a valued member of our team, and your kind words will certainly mean a great deal to her. We believe that warm, personalized service makes all the difference, and we're thrilled she helped make your experience so positive. It's wonderful to know that you found your room spacious and well-equipped, from the comfortable beds and plentiful outlets to the clean bathroom and convenient luggage storage. We're also glad you enjoyed the little details like the iced water station and our efficient elevators. And thank you for highlighting our location. We agree it's a fantastic spot with easy access to Penn Station and the theater district. We genuinely appreciate your thoughtful suggestion about the refillable toiletry containers. We share your concern regarding sustainability and minimizing plastic waste. While we had previously transitioned to larger refillable dispensers, some were temporarily removed during supply adjustments. Your feedback reinforces the importance of this initiative, and we're working toward bringing back our eco-friendly amenities as part of our broader environmental efforts. Thank you again for your recommendation and your valuable insights. It was a pleasure to host you, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back the next time you're in New York. Mustafah Syed VP of Operations
An excellent option for the price point. Great location in midtown . Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean comfortable rooms, hot showers , fluffy towels and very suitable for family groups . I travelled as a single adult with my two daughters and felt very comfortable.Highly recommend
Dear lgrahambrown20, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you found our property to be an excellent option during your stay in Midtown. Providing clean, comfortable accommodations at a great value is one of our top priorities, and it's wonderful to know we hit the mark for you and your daughters. We're especially pleased that you felt safe and at ease while traveling with your family. Creating a welcoming, secure, and family-friendly environment is very important to us, and we're glad that you felt right at home. Our team works hard to ensure our guests have a smooth and enjoyable stay, so your kind words about their friendliness and helpfulness mean a lot. Thank you as well for highlighting the comfort of our rooms, hot showers, and those fluffy towels we're delighted these little touches helped enhance your experience! Your recommendation means the world to us, and we can't wait to welcome you and your family back on your next visit.
good location, decent linens, comfortable bed, friendly staff ... but A) the room was very small (par for the course in New York I expect, and it was the least expensive room available - we don't usually need much) and didn't even have a chair in it (maybe because the bed was enormous and took up most of the space) and B) noise travels a LOT. there was a screaming match in a neighbouring room at 2am (which stop after 15 minutes or so, I expect because another guest banged on their door. and so I didn't report it. and the front desk said no one else reported the disturbance either.)
Dear petersP7932RA, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your recent experience with us. We're truly grateful for your feedback and appreciate your balanced perspective. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, found the bed comfortable, the linens decent, and our team friendly those are all things we take great pride in, and we're happy they added positively to your stay. That said, I want to sincerely apologize for the shortcomings you experienced during your visit. Regarding the room size, you're absolutely right New York City hotel rooms, especially in central areas, are often more compact than those in other cities, and our economy rooms are designed to maximize comfort within a smaller footprint. Still, not having a chair in the room can certainly make things feel more cramped, and I understand how that would be inconvenient. We're currently addressing room layouts and furnishings to see how we can improve functionality and comfort, even in our coziest rooms. More importantly, I'm very sorry to hear about the noise disturbance in the middle of the night. While it's somewhat reassuring that it resolved quickly, it's still unacceptable for any guest to be disrupted like that. Our front desk team is trained to handle noise complaints promptly, and I regret that we were unaware of the incident during your stay. Please know that had we been alerted, we would have intervened immediately to ensure a quieter, more restful night for everyone. Your experience highlights the importance of encouraging all guests to report such events so we can take appropriate action in real time. We're always looking for ways to improve, and your insights help us do just that. If your travels bring you back to New York, we'd love another opportunity to welcome you. Perhaps in one of our larger rooms, which offers a bit more space to relax in. Thank you again for staying with us and for your honest feedback.
A great simple hotel, well located not far from several subway stations...and Wholefoods- great for breakfasts! The staff were very welcoming friendly; plentiful cold fresh water in lobby for guests and clean well appointed rooms. Very clean and comfortable beds/pillows/bathroom. We left our suitcase at reception when checking out- just a dollar for the whole day. Highly recommended for a simple, easy stay. Thank you.
Hi LadyDollis, Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for any frustration or inconvenience caused by the unexplained charges and lack of communication. Please know that we take billing issues very seriously, and it's always our goal to provide full transparency and clarity when it comes to our guests' charges. What you've described is not reflective of the service standards we aim to uphold, and we regret that your attempts to contact us have not yet been resolved. We would like to review your folio in detail and get this matter resolved as quickly as possible. If any errors were made, we will absolutely make them right. Your feedback is very important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns properly. We hope to restore your confidence in our service and hospitality.
The best hotel experience I've had in nyc. This hotel is clean, safe, convenient, comfortable and run by wonderful staff who were attentive and friendly and helpful at every turn. I was there on business for 2 1/2 weeks and it felt like a home away from home. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Hi 342tammyr, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly honored to hear that your stay with us was the best hotel experience you've had in NYC. Providing a clean, safe, and comfortable environment is always our top priority, and we're thrilled to know that we delivered on all fronts.

Knowing that we helped make your extended business trip feel like a “home away from home” is the highest compliment we could receive. We appreciate your recommendation and can't wait to welcome you back the next time you're in Midtown!
We had a wonderful night at this hotel. Khaoula is the best to help us out the parking issue at the garage next door. They didn't let us in saying the garage's full even though we had a reservation. When I asked her for any advice about overnight parking options, Khaoula went and talked to the guy at the parking garage and they magically let us in!!! She was amazing and helped us solve issues at check-in. The hotel room is clean and size is good for its location in NYC. I would strongly recommend for the quality of service, nice rooms and great location!
Hi carsond84, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great stay with us in NYC and that our team, especially Khaoula, made such a positive impact on your visit. She truly goes above and beyond for our guests, and we're thrilled that she was able to assist you with your parking situation and ensure a smooth check-in experience. It's also fantastic to know that you found your room to be clean and comfortable, especially given the unique space constraints of NYC. We strive to provide a welcoming and well-maintained environment for all our guests, and your kind words mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to the city!
Decent hotel. Nice staff. Good location. - noticed an AAM just approaching multiple woman and making them uncomfortable during my stay in Lobby area not sure if he was staff he was wearing glasses. No shampoo . Hopefully they have him removed

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is very good, and the service was excellent. I would recommend this hotel. Members of my family stayed in this hotel last year and recommended it to us. We enjoyed the proximity to many NYC attractions that were within walking distance. One last thing: the cafe has good coffee.

This review is a compliment to the staff. There was one stand out. Khaoula, it's the face you want to greet you in any occasion. You may feel like you have died and gone to heaven. When she mesmorizing you with her sweet charm and thick accent you'll truly believe she's an angel or God's gift to Best Western. She goes above and beyond. She has done me countless favors and for this she is el campeon and a true amiga. A champion and a friend. So to the hostess with mostest, I see you and I can't wait for the world to also, one amazed guest at a time. Tu représentes le monde pour les vies que tu touches ??
Hi jonoyl, Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful and sincere review of your experience with us! It's truly heartwarming to hear how Khaoula made such a lasting impression on your stay.

Merci beaucoup for choosing us, and until next time, safe travels!
Worst hotel bed I have slept in the last 10 years. It was a cheap economy hotel bed, like laying in mashed potatoes. Nice location, overpriced for the quality of the room and amenities. No breakfast. No shampoo, no body wash. Very nice staff, the only positive.
Dear BD34786, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you found our staff to be very nice—we take great pride in delivering friendly and welcoming service to all of our guests. However, we're truly sorry that your stay did not meet expectations.

Your comments will be shared with our team as we continually assess ways to enhance guest comfort. We also apologize for any disappointment regarding room amenities. While we aim to provide a great balance of value and convenience, we understand that certain expectations—such as shampoo, body wash, and breakfast—are important aspects of a stay. We appreciate your feedback and will review these concerns with our management team. We're glad you found the location to be convenient, though we regret that you felt the pricing did not align with the quality. We truly value your input and will use it to improve our offerings. If you decide to stay with us again, we'd love the opportunity to provide you with a better experience.
Excellent value & well-kept hotel. I was impressed with the room size and bathroom size, and how it was organized. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the staff was uniformly friendly. The toiletries were noticeably nice, as well. The room (on the 13th floor) was very quiet. I was impressed with the value provided, compared with NYC hotels at roughly similar rates.

This hotel is a hidden gem. My view was the best. Room is clean and spacious for a NYC hotel. Its a small hotel so you don't have to wait for elevators or long lines at check in. I felt very safe at this hotel. I would stay here again if I go back to NYC.
Hi sophiabJ3333KI, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your glowing review with us. We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience at our hotel and that you found it to be a hidden gem!

Your intention to stay with us again on your next trip to NYC is the greatest compliment we could receive. We look forward to welcoming you back and ensuring that your future stays are just as enjoyable.
We stayed at this hotel because of its rating on TripAdvisor and close location to Midtown. Strongly recommend avoiding the hotel if you're in a group: any rooms with two double beds are terrible experiences. The beds are extremely small and hard. Plus at nearly $450 a night, no complimentary breakfast was included. Plus the Internet access was spotty something that can't happen at a modern hotel. Strongly avoid this and find a better option given the number of quality hotels in New York City.
Dear Kevin M, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We value all guest experiences and take your comments seriously as we continually strive to improve. We're sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations, especially given your group's needs. We understand that bed size and comfort are critical aspects of any stay, and we regret that the double beds fell short for your group. While our beds meet standard double dimensions, we recognize that individual preferences vary, and we'll take your feedback into account when considering future upgrades to our accommodations. Regarding the breakfast, we strive to offer a range of dining options that cater to different needs, but we understand the disappointment when complimentary breakfast is not included at this price point. We will review our offerings to ensure they align with guest expectations. The issue with spotty internet access is something we deeply regret, as we recognize how vital a reliable connection is, especially for travelers. Please rest assured that we are investigating this matter to ensure our network is both consistent and robust. Your concerns about value are noted, and while our pricing reflects our central location and proximity to Midtown attractions, we understand the importance of balancing cost with the quality of the experience. We'll use your comments to evaluate how we can improve our offerings. We truly appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and regret that your visit did not reflect the positive experiences shared by other guests. If you would consider giving us another chance in the future, we would love the opportunity to make it right. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you safe and enjoyable travels.
The hotel is in a great location, it is clean, and has a fantastic view of the Empire State Building. Khalifa was so nice and welcoming. She was very accommodating and made the stay that much better! I will definitely consider this as my go to hotel when visiting NY!

We're looking forward to providing you with another outstanding experience.
Excellent staff Christine at the desk was wonderful and professional. Great location to Times Square, Korea Town and restaurants. Very secure elevator which needs a key card to operate. We come to Manhattan monthly and we will definitely come back on future visits

The hotel is clean and conveniently located. Locations such as MSG, Times Square, Empire State, Hudson Yards, and subway stations are all within walking distance. The staff at the hotel is very friendly, courteous and helpful. Shriya at the Front Desk went out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable and memorable. Thank you!!

My second stay here did not disappoint. The location is great for exploring tourist spots, like Broadway and Times Square, which we could walk to. We took taxis to the Museum of Modern art and others parts of the city. Front desk staff is extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. They booked us a car to LaGuardia when our visit ended. Comfortable rooms, bed. My only complaint is the room rate, which was extremely high. $500 + per night, which I have never paid for a room anywhere!
Hi MrsAtlanta, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay with us. We are delighted to hear that your second visit met your expectations and that our prime location contributed to your enjoyable experience.

Our pricing reflects the premium location and amenities we offer, especially during peak times in the city. However, we are continuously working to ensure that our guests receive the best possible value for their stay. We appreciate your feedback and will consider it as we strive to enhance our guests' experiences. We hope to welcome you back for another comfortable stay in the future, and we will do our best to ensure it is even more enjoyable.
Great location: walking distance to restaurants, transportation, sightseeing, parks, Empire State Building... Courteous front desk, clean, sitting area on the first floor, comfortable room, modern, bed and pillows. I would stay here again.
Hi jackiecop025, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our great location and found it convenient for exploring the nearby attractions.

We appreciate your feedback about the clean and modern amenities, and we're thrilled that you would consider staying with us again. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
Very nice staff. Bed was soft and too high and there was really no place to sit. There was a stool and a bench, but a chair would have suited me better. I needed something to sit on and the deb was too high for me. This location was great for us. We needed to get uptown and downtown and there was good transportation. Shirva at the desk was excellent but all the staff were great.
Hi MessagetoRudy, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience with our staff and that you found our location convenient for your needs. We're especially pleased to hear that Shirva and the rest of our team made a great impression on you. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the bed height and the seating options in your room. Your comfort is important to us, and we appreciate your suggestion about having a chair. We will certainly take this into consideration for future improvements. It's wonderful to know that our location worked well for your travels uptown and downtown, and that you found the transportation options convenient. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future and providing you with an even better experience.
The hotel experience is not only the room we stay in, the bed and pillows, and the bathroom and shower. All of that was excellent! The one thing I noticed that was stand out for this hotel is being able to walk around the sides of the bed, and that's a good thing. Many hotels don't have that extra room to do that, after all, real estate is very expensive in Manhattan, so space has to be used very judiciously. I don't know how many stars this hotel gets ranked based on its amenities, but it feels like it is in that 3 to 4 star range. And I've stayed at some of those 4-star and 5-star hotels in NYC with past business trips, so I have those experiences to compare to. What made this hotel experience super entering into the hotel lobby, and being warmly greeted by Christina. I had stopped by the hotel around 10am, way before the normal check-in time of 3pm, and she was so kind to allow me to store my luggage for the day before check-in, so I wouldn't have to lug it around during the day when I wanted to go sightseeing and meetups. So thankful for that, though they do offer paid storage for luggage if someone is not a hotel guest. And, I can't guarantee that you'll get free luggage storage for the morning before you check-in, but I got it, and I wanted to say thank you. And, upon check-out, I was happy to see Christina again, and we both shared our love for the color orange. She printed out the receipt upon request; plus, she even asked if I'd like the receipt folded in an envelope! I've stayed at 5-star hotels where they didn't offer that. So kudos to Best Western Premier for an excellent stay and stellar service!
Hi djchuang, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us!

We also appreciate your recognition of the small touches, like offering to fold the receipt in an envelope. It's the little things that make a difference, and we're delighted that these details enhanced your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to NYC!

Very nice hotel. Staff exceeded expectations, they were all extremely nice and welcoming. Room on the smaller side, but that is common in NYC. Bed and room were comfortable. Safe and very good location. The only thing I was missing was coffee in the lobby, but that is a small thing.

This is a true gem of a hotel in a prime location in NYC. You can't beat the central location close to 5th Ave & Empire State building. The area is surrounded by excellent restaurants and NYC's best attractions. The rooms are very modern, nice size for NYC and impeccably clean. But what makes this hotel so special and rises above all, is their staff, especially Khaoula and Sham in the front desk and Yasmine in the Cafe. We were always greeted with a smile, sincere passion and true commitment to customer service. This has become our go-to hotel when travelling to NYC, and we are looking forward to our next visit.

We are honored to be your go-to hotel when traveling to NYC and look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit.
Clean! Great location for me - easy walk to Penn (11 mins) and Grand Central (15 mins). Loved my view of the city - Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building! Walking distance to Eataly! I was able to use my points and knocked a third of the price off. Will stay here again.
Hi 546nelll, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and found our location convenient for your needs.

We look forward to welcoming you back and ensuring another memorable experience.
We stayed in Midtown Manhattan to see most of the tourist sites in the area (Times Square, 911 Museum, SoHo, Little Italy, The Edge and Empire State Building). The hotel was walkable and accessible to subway stations. We stayed in a comfortable room with a King bed located on the 14th floor. The bed was very comfortable except for the small than regular sized pillows. The doors, as with most hotels, were quite loud when they closed shut so it woke us up when other guests would come back to the hotel at 2:00 or 3:00 am. The hotel provided iced lemon water in the lobby at all times. There is also a cafe beside the lobby. The staff was friendly and always greeted us. The hotel was clean and safe and quiet, away from traffic noise.
Hi Exploratio718272, Thank you for sharing your detailed review of your recent stay with us.

It's wonderful to know you found our hotel walkable and accessible to subway stations, making your travel around the city seamless. We're glad you enjoyed the comfort of your King room on the 14th floor and found the bed to your liking.

Your feedback is valuable, and we will look into possible improvements to enhance our guests' comfort. Our team is thrilled to hear you appreciated the iced lemon water in the lobby and the convenience of the café beside the lobby. It's great to know our friendly staff made a positive impression and that you felt welcomed throughout your stay. Ensuring a clean, safe, and quiet environment away from traffic noise is our priority, and we're pleased to hear you experienced just that. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on your next visit to New York City.
I want to take a moment out of my vacation to recognize exceptional service. Ar a recent stay we had difficulty with the air-conditioning. Christina remedied the situation as soon as we brought it up and found us a new room to be in. Khaoula also provided excellent service during our stay. They should be commended ! and we are returning as well as recommending this hotel to friends and family....
Hi Mark P, Thank you so much for taking a moment out of your vacation to share your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear about the exceptional service you received during your recent stay.

We are very proud of our team and will certainly commend them for their excellent service. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
Great location, exceptional service, very clean. This reminds me of a boutique style hotel, 6 rooms per floor. Rooms are smaller than I'm used to, but they made the space very functional. It was fairly warm, so we would shower twice a day. Getting extra towels and supplies was never an issue. The front line staff was very welcoming and also allowed an early check-in which was unexpected but appreciated. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great experience in New York City the hotel was in a great location really close to Penn station like a 5-minute walk. I had an amazing time!! The view from the hotel room was really cool too!! I hope when I go back to New York City I can stay at this hotel again.
Hi robertkL5976KW, Thank you for your fantastic review! We're happy to hear that you had an amazing time and enjoyed the great location of our hotel, so close to Penn Station. It's wonderful to know that you appreciated the view from your room as well. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to New York City. Thank you for choosing to stay with us!
This review is for Christina at the front desk at this location. I have been around some years 59. And I have to say with pleasure in all of my travels I have NEVER encountered such a professional, patient and helpful person who compares to this young lady. She went out of her way to ensure all accomodations were met and also used the front desk computer to find the best route and mode of transportation for us. As well as leaving directions she had handwritten for our next destination. Her efforts are magnified because in a world nowadays where it seems everyone is in a rush to please themselves, her gentle nature and kindness are so so rare now. Salute to you Christina. You have a very bright future ahead. Thank you so much again. My son and I will never forget our stay because of you. Mr. Douglas Thompson

Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us and for highlighting Christina's exceptional efforts. We hope to welcome you and your son back in the future and wish you both safe and pleasant travels.

It's also wonderful to know that our proximity to Times Square and the Empire State Building was convenient for you. We appreciate your feedback about the room size and the need for a snack bar. Your comments will be taken into consideration as we continue to look for ways to enhance our guests' experiences. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!
Hotel was very clean and modern Space was adequate, the room with king bed was larger than some other hotels. Coffee and safe in the room. The bed was comfortable and towels were high quality. The hotel is in a good neighborhood with reasonable proximity to the subway. We'll keep it top of the list for our next visit.

Room is clean. Nothing special but horrible scent of cigarettes coming from the vents. When I asked to change my they aggressively spoke telling me no guest are smoking in the hotel. Must be coming from the vents. I had to endure the smell the whole evening. 2nd night they changed my room. Higher floor but I could still smell the cigarettes. In the hallway. It's a non smoking hotel but people still smoke inside. I felt it would be a waste of energy to continue complaining and stayed in same room the 3ed night. I would not return.
Dear Bbarto, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the cigarette smell in your room and the handling of your room change request. This is certainly not the level of service or comfort we strive to provide. I apologize for the inconvenience and discomfort caused by the cigarette odor. We take the enforcement of our non-smoking policy seriously and will be addressing this with our team to ensure that all guests adhere to our policies. Additionally, we'll be addressing our ventilation systems to prevent such issues from recurring. It's disappointing to hear that your experience with our staff and the resolution of the problem did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will use it to improve our processes and guest service. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
We changed our booking to this hotel at the last minute, and boy was it a good call, compared to the other hotel at a similar price (yes, we went to have a look). The location is extremely convenient and the room was very comfortable and very clean. All the staff was very helpful, especially Shriya who was there every day during our 10 day stay. The only improvement I would suggest is to have a small fridge in the room, especially in summer when you might want to keep some cold drinks in there.
Hi bbseeker8, Thank you for sharing your positive experience. We're happy to hear that your last-minute decision to stay with us turned out to be a great choice.

Wonderful hotel....very modern clean rooms. Front staff, especially Christina was awesome at check in. Would definitely recommend this hotel! Great central location. South view rooms are very quiet. Beds are super comfortable. Our room was a decent size with lots of storage space

Our second stay at a great property. Close to everything we wanted to do and or easy to access transportation. Great staff, everyone went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed Don't bother with the breakfast. There is a great deli about a block away toward the Empire State Building.

We appreciate your feedback regarding breakfast and are always looking for ways to improve our offerings. We're glad you found a nearby deli you enjoyed.

Great location!! So close to all of the Manhattan favorites and easy to hop on the Subway to get you wherever you are going. Rooms were very clean. Refreshing water at the entrance was lovely. Really liked the shampoo, conditioner and body washes in the shower. Dhanush at the front desk was so nice and helpful for our stay.

Your kind words about Dhanush have been shared with him, and he is delighted to know he could make your stay more enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to the city!
This hotel was perfect for our needs and we liked that it's newer and modern. We were staying in the city for 2 nights and wanted to be in this area since it's a little quieter/safer and so easy to get everywhere from here. The value of the stay was much more reasonable than a couple other options in the area that I had booked and canceled. Overall, the hotel is clean, quiet and modern. The staff we interacted with were all lovely and very helpful to us as we needed to store our bags there too. We found the size of the room to be completely reasonable for the fact that it's New York City. The layout was smart, with a rack / drawers / ironing board for your clothes if you're there for a longer stay. There was also a nice long bench by the window which we found useful for putting some of our stuff, as well as a console and even a mini fridge. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom was enough space too with all the amenities you need in the shower etc. It also had central AC rather than a unit which was a nice, quiet plus and kept the room super cool given how hot and humid it was outside. If you are looking for a ton of amenities like a gym, pool, free breakfast etc, this may not be the place for you. It seemed like they offered some sort of breakfast for a fee but we didn't need that or any of the other amenities since we were out enjoying the city all day. In fact, if you're looking for some breakfast - head to Tompkins Sq Bagels (17 min walk) and get the best bagels ever. No shortage of food options in the city. Overall, a great stay, and a nice quiet cosy room to come back to after a long day in the city. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for the recommendation of Tompkins Sq Bagels—we're sure future guests will appreciate the tip! We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay in the future.
This is a great little hotel - no frills, great value - fantastic location - friendly staff - really decent sized rooms for NYC Very few downsides to this place. Not luxury or characterful, but everything you need at a good price. If you're from the UK, the standard could be considered similar to Premier Inn. Though the location is ideal for everywhere, e 30th itself is relatively quiet (for midtown) - very little traffic at night, for example. Some tips: 2 7-elevens within very close walking distance, Herald sq (v.close by) for target, cvs etc. - ideal for snacks. Lots of nice places to eat within 10minutes walk too. Would stay again, and would definitely recommend
Hi CharlieL662, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our hotel and found it to be a great value.

We look forward to welcoming you back and appreciate your recommendation!
Very clean room, great service, no breakfast but I knew that and chose this hotel because it was $100 cheaper per night. Theres a dunkin donuts 5 min walk away for breakfast. The only thing I didnt like was that the room did not have a microwave. The only microwave was in the basement with the only ice machine. So it was a bit of a trek to warm up leftovers and get ice. But it was doable. There is a mini fridge in the room too. They also have car service for a reasonable price so dont bother with taxis or uber. The hotel has a better price.
Hi M296HKsarahp, Thank you for your review. We're happyto hear that you enjoyed your clean room and the great service. We appreciate your understanding regarding breakfast and are glad you found the nearby Dunkin' Donuts convenient. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of a microwave in the room and the location of the ice machine. Your feedback is valuable, and we will consider it as we look for ways to improve our amenities. It's great to know that you found our car service reasonably priced and a good alternative to taxis or Uber. Thank you for choosing our hotel, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
Everything was great about this stay. Superfriendly staff(always greeting you in the lobby), clean, modern room with all the ameneties you'll need. Perfect location midtown(between 5th ave & Madison) close to everything. The only negative thing was the non-included breakfast but staying in Manhattan you'll always have close to a breakfast diner. We will def come back to this hotel!
Hi evis132, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our friendly staff, clean and modern rooms, and convenient Midtown location. We appreciate your feedback regarding the breakfast. While it's not included, as you mentioned, there are plenty of great breakfast diners nearby to explore. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Manhattan!
This is a great place to stay. The showers were tricky because they have two showerheads, and you have to learn the knob system otherwise you'll blow one shower head out into the bathroom. I need to give a shout out to Khaoula. She was so great to us. She called us the day of our booking ensuring us we're still coming and was such a great help. Where she really shined was when we needed to go to the airport JFK. If we took a cab or Uber easily it would have been $100. So we asked for her to give us directions on the Subway, and she gave perfect directions that I recorded that we used every step along the way. She easily saved us $100. Thanks Khaoula!!!!! If there was one complaint the only complaint would be the rooms are not as soundproof as they could be. That's all. Other than that this is a great place to stay!
Very good stay, the room was great but I had issues with storing the luggage through an independent company. Dhanush at the desk was super helpful and considerate. The problems with the luggage storage were dealt with very well and he gave us a huge discount.
Hi Daydream18780311058, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're glad to hear you had a great stay and found your room to your liking. It's fantastic to know that Dhanush was so helpful and considerate in resolving your luggage storage issues and that you appreciated the discount. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our staff. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
The hotel was in a great location which enabled us to walk to most of our sightseeing locations. The room was very spacious and clean. The staff were excellent. Sham, Danus, and Rashid were outstanding. They welcomed us and inquired daily about our adventures. They were especially attentive in accommodating all of our needs and requests. I would absolutely recommend this hotel!

I've been to the Best Western Premier State twice so far and I am pretty sure I'll be back in the future. You always have to keep in mind that this hotel is in the middle of Manhattan so the rooms are small. Really small. I highly recommend unpacking all your stuff and putting it in the drawers. I didn't do that the first time I visited and it was painful to operate out of your suitcase in such a tiny space. On my last stay we emptied our suitcases and stored them in the top shelves and it made everything so much easier and convenient. If you do this nothing will stop you from having a great time. The bed is comfy and the staff is great. The location is excellent if you consider the pricing. The MTA stations are close by and there are many options to eat in the direct neighborhood (check my other reviews if you need more advice). During my stays I never heard any noise from the neighbours or anything else. If you're lucky you get a room with a view of the Empire State Building and/or the Rockefeller Center. The building is not that tall though and one of the smallest in the neighborhood. So don't expect to see very far. Besides that you'll get a standard Best Western room with all the ups and downs. If you can secure yourself a good rate I'll highly recommend this hotel.
Hi hobb3s, Thank you so much for your loyalty and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed your stays at Best Western Premier State and that you're considering returning in the future.

Thank you for recommending us and for highlighting our efforts to provide a peaceful stay without noise disturbances. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to New York City!
The rooms are very small. No parking, the garage attached is not associated. They charge $65 to park.
Dear malina D.S. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the room size and parking situation. While we do not have our own parking facility, we understand that the associated garage's fee can be a concern. Your comments are valuable to us, and we will look into ways to better inform our guests about parking options. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more satisfactory experience in the future.
the water from the shower ran throughout the bathroom and then into the bedroom. After complaining to reception, they said there was no other room available, but they would clean it. nothing was made. the bed has holes that you sink into. bad experience. Payed breakfast: frozen sandwich warmed at the microwave. Shameful
Dear bscamargo, The situation with the shower flooding your room is unacceptable, and we regret that we were unable to provide a prompt solution or an alternative room. Additionally, the condition of the bed and the quality of the breakfast you received are far below our standards. We take your concerns seriously and are addressing these issues with our maintenance and housekeeping teams to ensure they do not happen again. Your feedback regarding the breakfast will also be reviewed with our food and beverage team to improve our offerings. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

Fantastic 10/10 experience from this hotel's service staff! They were very friendly and accommodating with any requests we had. Did not expect this level of service standards at this price point. Compliments to counter staff Shriya and Christina, as well as maintenance manager Daniel for making our stay a pleasant one.

Your compliments for Shriya, Christina, and Daniel will be shared with the team. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
I travelled for work and many of my customers (and their competitors which are potential customers for me) were within a very short walking distance from this hotel so that was a huge personal plus. The point however is that this hotel is as centrally located as you can get in Manhattan. 10/10 as far as location goes. The staff, mostly Indians at the front desk, were a pleasure to deal with. Always smiling, and cheerfully greeting you every time you pass through the lobby. A small gesture which does not provide any tangible benefits yet makes you feel welcomed and at home. I did not face any issues, but if I did I am sure the staff would have acted to resolve it promptly. 11/10 to the staff. The rooms were clean and odourless, which is again a plus. The only 'negative' thing to write about is that I felt I was trying to sleep in a shoebox. Even calling it that may be being a bit generous. It was by far the tiniest room I have ever stayed in. But considering the fact that this was in central Manhattan and I did not have a budget of a thousand dollars a night for the hotel , I guess this is what you get in Manhattan for ~$250/ night. Overall can stay if travelling alone for work, would be congested with family. Maybe they have bigger rooms in upgraded categories.
We are glad to hear you enjoyed our central Manhattan location and found our staff welcoming. We appreciate your feedback on our clean rooms. For guests requiring more spacious accommodations, we recommend exploring our upgraded room categories for additional comfort during future stays. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon.
I have stayed here twice. Like many NYC hotels, space is not abundant, but the way the space is used and kept clean and comfortable is wonderful. The service is good, and the staff are helpful and polite. Love the fact that there is lemon water all the time, and no frills coffee for a normal price in the very comfortable lobby lounge. The neighborhood is as central as you can get in all directions.
Hi Noelled177, Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing to stay with us twice. We're delighted to hear that you appreciate how we utilize the space to ensure cleanliness and comfort. It's wonderful to know that our service, helpful staff, and little touches like lemon water and reasonably priced coffee made your stay enjoyable. We're also glad you found our location convenient for exploring the city. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to NYC!
The room we were in was small, but it had everything we needed. The two highlights of this hotel are the wonderful, cheerful staff who always greeted us like they were happy to see us, and the location. It was near everything we wanted to see, or else within an easy train ride. We felt safe here at all times as well as the immediate area. I would definitely recommend.

Nice room. Clean and very secure. Need your key to get to your floor which is nice for keeping random people out. Christina at the front desk was very helpful at check in and during out entire stay. She let us check in a bit early. Will definitely come back.

Top quality hotel at reasonable prices. Outstanding service in a newer hotel facility. Centrally located in mid-town a few blocks down from Penn Station, Times Square, and Grand Central Station.

For the price, even counting in its location not far from the Empire State Building and Times Square, the hotel could have been more luxurious. The room was clean, the mattress and the sheets and towels were very good, but it lacked in small things, like toiletries or the vibe of the entrance hall. It felt more like standard BW Plus.

As a Best Western Gold Member, I came across this hotel in Manhatten that had everything I needed for a quick one night stay. This is a very clean hotel with spacious rooms. I was fortunate enough to get a room with two double beds and a fridge with a slight view of the Empire State Building, which is hard to find in NYC at a reasonable price ! The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. As a member, I was given a small welcome bag which contained some water bottles, granola bars and a map of NYC. This hotel is in a great location - very walkable to Madison Square Garden where my friend and I went to see the BIlly Joel Concert. Also very walkable to Times Square, Penn Station, The Fashion District, the Highline and so much more. Best part is there was no one loitering outside of the building and we felt safe at all times. The hotel was also very quiet for NYC ! Hardly heard a sound and found it easy to sleep. Breakfast is not incldued, but there are many near by spots to find food. Located in a safe neighborhood, which is a huge plus for traveling with friends from out of town.

I stayed here for 1 week and had such an enjoyable experience. Hotel room was spacious (in New York terms) , modern, new and super clean. Some rooms also have a fridge, that was very helpful. I must say the hotel was very quiet. I think the hotel has very good isolation as I could not hear any of the street noise or even construction that was going on near by. I could also not hear any of other guests in their rooms. However, the doors are slammed way too hard and loud. I got lucky that none of the guests on my floor were slamming the door too early or too late and I had a wonderful night sleep the entire week. Which is very rare in New York hotels. Customer service is remarkable. Staff is super friendly and kind. I really felt valued. The hotel didn't have free morning coffee but each room has a drip coffee machine. I noticed they started charging a hour rate for storing the luggage but this seems a trend now in NYC.
Hi traveler2275, We are delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable week-long stay with us. It's great to know that you found our hotel rooms spacious, modern, and impeccably clean.

We checked into the perfectly located hotel and first impressions were fabulous… the room was super clean, spacious and well suited to our needs for our 3 night stay in New York. We later returned to the room in the evening for our first night sleep, the noise from the outside street which could be heard from the 5th floor room was unbearable and made for a very bad nights sleep. We spoke to the hotel manager the following morning who basically dismissed our claims as “no one else on the 5th floor” had complained about the noise. We were eventually moved to the 15th floor after a good 5 minute discussion with the manager about the meaning of good customer service which made for a better night sleep on our last 2 nights. Please bear in mind if staying at this hotel that the sound proofing is terrible, we could also hear peoples conversations from the room next door. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, however would not stay at this hotel again due to the abysmal sound proofing and attitude of the manager. As someone who has worked in the travel industry for over 11 years this was certainly one of the worst hotel experiences I've had.

Your comments are truly valuable to us as we strive to enhance our guests' experience. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable stay in the future.
What a great hotel! Super clean and convenient to everything! Khaoula made our stay. She was so helpful, friendly, kind and knowledgeable! What an asset to BW!! She was so helpful to my husband when he called a couple of times prior to our arrival and then when they met, she was like an old friend. We would come back to stay here because of her!!! Thank you for a great stay. The Burchett family

I want to congratulate the management for finding and hiring Khaoula, the MVP works the front desk in the evenings and let me tell you, I have never felt so welcome staying in a hotel. She made my stay feel like I was home and I appreciate it. Very good location with attractions walking distance away. The room was very nice and clean and modern.

We had an excellent stay at the BW Empire. I'm a rewards member & we received an excellent price for 3 days in NYC. It was really comforting to have a 24 hour staffed desk. The staff are so accommodating. We were not able to get a reservation anywhere for Super Bowl, the hotel opened up a small restaurant area and allowed us to order in food and watch the game. Overall we had an excellent stay.

The room was small but very clean and had modern facilities. I liked the fact that at the breakfast area there was fresh drinking water and that you could sit at a table during the day. Both female receptionist staff Khaoula and Christina were very helpful, friendly and professional. I paid a $100 deposit against the room 1602 and I now am looking forward to receiving such as soon as possible.

Superb. Really. Check in: quick, efficient, super polite. Elevator:clean, well maintained, fast. Room : Clean (super clean), comfy. Big for an NYC room. Nice bathroom. Super friendly staff at all times. Check out was easy. Notes: no free breakfast- but they do have a coffee shop and breakfast offering for a few. (With so many places to eat in the city, this was not a concern for us. Lastly, it was nice to be a little outside the Times Square tourist area. Close enough to walk or Uber- far enough to avoid smells/noises! Parking garage next door. (We did not use it as we took a train). I recommend staying here!

A Hotel in the middle of everything: Close to Emire state building, subway and 5th avenue. The room was clean and friendly with a super view to empire state building (from 17th floor). The guys at the receptions were super friendly and willing to help. Thanks Christina! :) As there was no breakfast in the hotel a good cafe is close by to enjoy the NYC style breakfast. I really enjoyed the stay and would come back if possible.

The comfortable room and good location were offset by a very unpleasant check-in experience in which the hotel demanded additional taxes and fees even though the third-party, Super.com, said these were included in the total price I had already paid them. Both the hotel and Super.com were difficult to deal with, as no manager initially was available at the hotel and Super, despite promising to cover the additional taxes/fees, has not kept its word. Apart from this, the stay was comfortable. But beware these games of resort fees, etc. that now seem to be endemic in the NYC hotel industry. It's a deceptive trade practice and it's wrong.

We understand the importance of transparency and clarity in pricing, and we regret any miscommunication that occurred.

Rest assured, we are committed to transparency and honesty in our pricing practices, and we will continue to strive to provide our guests with a clear understanding of all associated costs. However, we are glad to hear that you found our rooms comfortable and location to be convenient. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a more seamless and enjoyable stay.
Wonderful welcoming front desk staff. We were four people in a double with lots of luggage and they gave us a bigger room- super kind! The room was modern and large for NY and had been redone recently! Great price and value. Amazing location- walkable to all and to subway. Lots of restaurants nearby. We will be back!

Stayed here for three nights, myself, partner and son. The hotel is quite small in comparison to some with 7 rooms on each floor but it's actually quite nice as it never felt busy and loud. The reception staff are really friendly and the hotel is spotless clean. We arrived a little early but got checked in to our room no problem. They stored our bags for us on the last day too. The room we had had two double beds, really comfy. The room was a decent size with iron and iron board and hairdryer, tv, tea and coffee facilities, no fridge though which would have been a bonus but not a biggie. We didn't use the cafe at the back so can't comment. There is a vending machine and ice machine on the bottom floor. It's a little out the way compared to hotels at times square, but you're just off 5th avenue abd a 10 min walk to times square so not that bad and the plus side is its a bit quieter.
Hi woodles2001, Thank you so much for sharing your experience of your recent stay with us! We're thrilled to hear that you, your partner, and your son enjoyed your time at our hotel.

We're pleased to hear that you found your room comfortable and well-equipped with amenities such as the iron, ironing board, hairdryer, and tea/coffee facilities. We apologize for the absence of a fridge in your room, and we'll certainly consider this suggestion for future improvements. Although you didn't use our café, we hope you'll have the opportunity to do so during a future visit. We're glad you found our location convenient, with easy access to 5th Avenue and Times Square while still providing a quieter environment. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you and your family back for another enjoyable stay in the future!
Very quiet room with ample space. Very clean and comfy. Great location. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. The view was nice and it was enough space for my whole family. Bathroom was well stocked.

We are glad that our services, hospitality, and accommodations exceeded your expectations and hope that you experience the same comfortable stay during your next visit! We will share your comments with our staff. We look forward to seeing you again.
We were sent to this hotel as the Herald Square hotel no longer exists. We were given a very friendly welcome and a room because available immediately which was very helpful. The rooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. We ate our breakfast in the new coffee shop downstairs and it was very good and reasonably priced. Unfortunately this hotel was not where we had planned to be for shops et cetera. We had planned to visit it is just off fifth Avenue. We prefer to be nearer Macy's. Otherwise we would definitely use this hotel again.
Hi 477shitleyh, Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your wonderful experience with us. We are so encouraged to always do good for our guests. We are really appreciative of your generous compliments about our hotel, comfortable bed, friendly staff, and the breakfast. We are glad you enjoy staying with us and we hope to see you again.
The staff was friendly, the entire hotel was clean and quiet. The location was perfect for where we needed to go and we could find plenty of stuff to do nearby. All the amenities were open. No issues at all.

The worst value for my money I have gotten in a hotel anywhere. The rooms are way too small, no closet , no restaurant on site and the staff were indifferent. The only thing that was good , it was clean
Dear stevemks, Thank you for providing us with feedback from your recent stay. It's great to hear that you found us clean, however, I do regret that you experienced several shortcomings during your stay, especially with the condition of your room and amenities. It's important for us to impress our guests and your comments will make this goal that much more attainable. We have raised this concern to our maintenance manager for immediate action. I apologize that your recent stay was not a good one but we hope you'll return someday to see how we're improving.
The room was quite spacious compared to the other options available at midtown Manhattan. The staff at the reception (Arsheen and Jay) were polite , friendly and enhanced our experience with their great hospitality. The Location was superb , subway stations were at an arms reach and Times square was a 10 min walk . Special mention to the housekeeping staff, our rooms were cleaned impeccably everyday Arsheen and Jay at the reception were kind enough to get us an early check in as well. We'll stay here again whenever we visit Manhattan next

I was blown away by Sheen's helpfulness. Sheen works at the front desk and went above and beyond to help me out. When you're asking someone for help, its such a weight off your shoulders when the person obliges and is happy to do so. Thank you so much!

Good comfortable place. This is a very new hotel and is very clean. The rooms are also good given NY standards. They also have a small seating area on the first floor and have a paid cafe with good priced food options. The area is really good with lots of restaurants around and empire state building and Times Square are not too far away.

This hotel was a nightmare to deal with from the get go. We should have run on the first incident but you book these chain hotels to avoid issues right? We originally had booked to stay in the best western hotel in Herald square as the location was perfect for the things we wanted to do during our week in nyc. We arrive there early evening after a massive day of travel and a very expensive Uber from the airport, to be told by the reception that our room was no longer available??? No one had bothered to contact us despite having BOTH of our emails on file AND the ability to message us directly via the booking.com app, which they had prior to discuss a different enquiry. Anyway, we were told that if we walked ‘just 20 mins, that way' the herald square hotel would had a room for us for the same price. That was the extent of any explanation. Right, let's wrangle all of our luggage during peak hour nyc in the middle of summer. Off we go, praying this hotel actually exists. Thankfully it does and we are determined to not let this ruin our time in the city. Halfway through our week long stay I made a considerably large purchase at Gucci. I arrived back to the hotel with the purchase in its lime green shopping bag and keepsafe box they give you to keep your items in. The next day I took the actual bag out with me for the day and had left the extra straps for the bag in the box in the line green bag right next to my luggage. We get back to our room late arvo, and the room has been remade, but the bag and box has disappeared. I go straight down to reception and explain what had happened and the receptionist told me to go back to my room to wait and he would ring me once they had looked through the trash. About two minutes after getting back to the room he calls and says it's not there. I ask what happens now and he tells me his manager will be in tomorrow and he is the only one who can access the security cameras. So the next morning I go back down to reception and ask to speak to the manager, and surprise! He's not here today, he's back tomorrow. Perfect. Every time I pass through reception I ask if there has been any progress and get the same answer. Day three the manager is finally here and confirms my things have been thrown in the trash. Three days ago, so they're long gone. He then tells me that I ‘shouldn't have left them in the box if I didn't want them to be thrown away' I should've taken it all out with me, and that ‘I've still got the actual bag, so what's the problem?' Keeping in mind this is over $800usd worth of brand new Gucci products that have gone missing at the hands of the hotel. I genuinely couldn't believe the nonchalant attitude I received from the employees, but I was absolutely disgusted at how the manager responded to this issue. The lack of urgency to help me solve this incident was ridiculous as well, not one staff member took it seriously. It was like it was an actual joke. I spent thousands on dollars to stay in this hotel, and more thousands on my purchase. To be treated like a laughing stock. It was like a pair of socks had gone missing. I didn't even get as much as a sorry. He was adamant it was my fault, but said he'd knock $100 off our bill. Which hasn't happened. Imagine if I had broken or stolen something from the room and then just refused to accept responsibility and resolve it. Absolutely unacceptable. I wish I could give it less than one star.
mgb1998, Thank you for your comprehensive review detailing your recent stay with us. We are very disappointed to learn of your experience at our hotel, and we apologize for the many issues that you encountered. We have reviewed all of your comments as a management team, and each department head will formulate a plan to ensure that the risk of such issues occurring again are minimized.

I hope you will change your mind about seeking out new accommodations in the area and that you'll give us another chance to restore your faith in our hospitality and service.
Daughter and I had less than a week to arrive in NY for a funeral, this hotel had a garage directly next door, so perfect location bc we needed a rental car to go back and front to queens and Brooklyn. I read other reviews about the room size .. I didn't have issue plus we only slept in the room ( we had one king size bed) conveniently close to trains to take us up to Harlem and Central Park
Hi mznea313, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so pleased that you found us a convenient and pleasant place to stay and that our location and services were to your liking. We take real pride in this hotel and in serving guests like you, and I'm extremely happy that you had such a pleasant stay. We look forward to having you with us again soon.
In a very central area on Midtown, few steps from Empire State Bulding. The hotel is a perfect place to visit Manhattan. The room has everything you need, the bed is very big and confortable. Bathroom and shower are also perfect. Staff is REALLY great.. I need to mention Afsheen and Jay, they really took care about me, giving me all the informations I need and being always friendly and available to accomodate any request or need I had. Thank you so much, I had a great stay!
Hi 575valeriog, Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your wonderful experience with us. We are so encouraged to always do good for our guests. We are really appreciative of your generous compliments about our location, comfortable bed, great amenities, great staff, and the hospitality. We are glad you enjoy staying with us. We will share your kind words with our staff especially Afsheen and Jay and we hope to see you again.
We stayed 2 nights at this hotel and it was a great hotel. The rooms were very clean and the beds were very comfy to come back to after long days exploring the city. The only little issue is that water seemed to leak from the shower door but that's what towels are for. The housekeeping is by request but if you need extra towels they will gladly give you them at the front desk. Check in was quick and easy. Khaoula was so friendly and welcoming. She explained about the elevators, wifi, housekeeping and the breakfast offered for purchase. She also gave us a great recommendation for a great slice of pizza nearby. We were greeted by all staff as we came and went. The location of the hotel is great. Walking distance to Times Square, Empire State Building/Herald Square, Madison square park/Flatiron building and a few blocks from major subway lines. Loved it so much I booked this place for my trip back in December!
Hi Danielle506, Thank you for taking the time to share your review and experience. We are glad you liked your clean and comfortable accommodations, and we appreciate you mentioning our friendly and welcoming staff especially Khaoula. We value your compliments about where we are excelling, as well as your feedback regarding things we need. It was our pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
I just got back today Aug 15 from NYC and stayed at the Best Western empire state and it was absolutely amazing. I can't say enough about the staff's kindness and attention to detail by all. In particular, I have to mention the kindness of the manager Jay who was amazing from the second I walked in the door after that Khaoula was nothing but amazing, and kind and her smile radiated throughout the whole lobby every time we walked by. Stay at this hotel for its location but more because of the people who work there.
Hi 628maurop, A big thank you for leaving your five-star rating of our hotel. We are glad that our services, hospitality, and accommodations exceeded your expectations and hope that you experience the same comfortable stay during your next visit! We will share your comments with our staff especially Jay and Khaoula. We look forward to seeing you again.
The hotel is centrally located on Manhattan, close to 5th avenue. Rooms are smallish, and you could hear noise in the hallway and from outside quite clearly in the room. But beds were comfortable, and were made every day. The staff was really service minded and friendly. The hotel had free coffee, tea and icewater in the lobby, which was nice. Not in the morning though, probably because they want guests to buy something from the breakfast menu. Would stay here again, especially if something was done to soundproof the rooms.
Hi Travelinclination. Thank you for taking the time to share your review and experience.

We will share your comments with our staff especially Khaoula. We look forward to seeing you again.
We stayed two nights - my sons and I - and had a seemless experience. The room is modern and while small really uses space well. This location cannot be beat for those looking to see the major sites. The Empire State Building is two blocks away. The only thing I would have wanted more is two queens instead of two doubles, as a group of 3 of us.
Hi Vacation66335867600, It is really nice to know that you liked the stay and services at our hotel during your recent visit. Glad to see your positive overall observations which shall definitely motivate us to serve our guests better. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!
Stayed at this hotel mid June 2023 with my S/O on our first trip to NYC. Room was excellent, had a modern feel and very clean/tidy. Great value for the price point, especially considering location and proximity to some of the classic NYC landmarks. The receptionist (Christina) and her manager (Khaoula) were very welcoming and provided quick and efficient check-in services. They provided some great recommendations for food and local businesses to check out and happily answered any of our questions. They both went above and beyond to make us feel very comfortable as first timers in the city. We will definitely be staying at this location again on our next trip!

This is not a mega-hotel... quick service at the front desk and no waiting for elevators! The staff is very friendly. The rooms are modern, clean, comfortable, and reasonably sized for NYC. Conveniently located near the Empire State Building,

My husband and I recently returned from our stay at the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel. Our experience and the staff far surpassed our expectations! Our room was very clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They even helped me solve phone issues I was having and provided my blistering feet from walking the streets of NYC with some much needed band-aids! The location of the hotel was great for anyone wanting to explore all directions of the city. Khalid, Khaoula, Afsheen and Christina - Thank you for helping to make our trip to NYC so wonderful!

Clean rooms, great location and fantastic service. Khaoula and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful when our flight was cancelled on a busy long weekend and we had to stay an extra night. We'll be back. Thank you

I had originally reserved at Best Western Herald Square but they changed me last minute to this hotel so I did not know if I would like it. I had a great time there. The room is small but very comfortable beds, and it is newly renovated. The bathroom is perfect, small but new and everything works fine. They had breakfast for $15 dlls if you needed it. But the great service from Afsheen and Jay was the best. They always tried to help in everything. From helping me with directions, check in early, and they had a great attitude! Always happy and welcoming! Thanks!

We a great stay at the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel over the weekend. The hotel is well situated in Manhattan (minutes from Madison Square Park and surrounded by many shops and restaurants) and the staff were exceptional. We really enjoyed the breakfast spread every morning. Yasmin was especially welcoming and made us feel at home.
Hi kbO3436CY, It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you have rated our hospitality and accommodations so highly! Thank you so much for your compliments on our staff, breakfast, convenient location and we were able to meet your expectations of quality service in our hotel. We can't begin to tell you how much we appreciate your review. We will share your kind words with our staff especially Yasmin and we can't wait to serve you again.
This hotel offers you great value for the location. Centrally located in Manhattan, steps from the Empire State Building, flat iron building, subway, shops, restaurants. We were easily able to enjoy breakfast at the hotel before we started our day because it was the best value for a family 4. Great variety of items to chose from - scrambled eggs, mushroom omelette, bacon, waffles, cereal, yogurt etc. you can't beat the price in the area. It cost $30 for all 4 as kids eat free. We did breakfast elsewhere one day and it cost us over $80. The rooms are snug but we aren't there to sleep in the city that never sleeps lol. The location is quiet and clean. If you drive to NYC just be aware of the crazy fees to park overnight.
Hi JustAddEggs, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so pleased that you found us a clean and convenient place to stay and that our location and breakfast were to your liking. We take real pride in this hotel and in serving guests like you, and I'm extremely happy that you had such a pleasant stay. We look forward to having you with us again soon.
This is a very nice hotel with very helpful staff, I would like to thank Christina for being so helpful, the whole team are great! Hotel is clean, coffee, tea and water in reception, large comfy beds and good hot powerful showers. Were able to store luggage so we could go out and make the most of our last day. Location is perfect, right by the Empire State building and penn station, we were able to train from Penn Station to Union station in Washington DC in 3 hrs, sight seeing in both cites was amazing! On trip advisor this was one of the cheapest hotels, I cannot see why, much better than the Crown Plaza in times square and 2/3 the price.
Dear Excursion52707924267, Thank you so much for your heartwarming review. Thank you for your appreciation for our staff, especially for Christina and our hotel. We are happy that you had an amazing time and enjoyed the service, cleanliness, comfortable beds, hot shower, and amenities. Glad to see your positive overall observations which shall definitely motivate us to serve our guests still better. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!
My wife and I stayed at this hotel during a work/leisure combo stay and had an awesome stay based on its location, condition, service, and price/value. We highly recommend the BW Premier Empire State.
Hi Keith M, It is really nice to know that you liked the stay and services at our hotel during your recent visit. Glad to see your positive overall observations which shall definitely motivate us to serve our guests still better. Thank you for your recommendation and we look forward to welcoming you again soon!
Excellent staff, very helpful the entire stay (reception, facilities service, house keeping, with a special shout-out to Khaoula). Perfect location, in a great neighborhood, with easy subway excess and great food options all around. Great rooms, we had the quietest stay with best sleep here in NY (compared to 5 other hotels during our trip). After checkout, the staff continued to be just perfect hosts, storing luggage until the end of the day and allowing us to freshen up, have a coffee and wait for our taxi (arranged by hotel). Thank you.

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights last week, hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room was lovely, spacious and clean, we were told to advise reception if we wanted our room cleaning. Great location and quiet of a night, we could see the Empire State Building out of our window to the left and the Chrysler Building to the right. Would recommend anyone staying at this hotel and would stay there again.

We take real pride in this hotel and in serving guests like you, and I'm extremely happy that you had such a pleasant stay. We look forward to having you with us again soon.
I booked this hotel because it was the most affordable in the midtown area, near the office I would be working out of but also near Penn Station. However when I entered, I was very pleasantly surprised. Great value for money. First, they were very accommodating with keeping my luggage safe when I first arrived, and even offered to let me check in early. However I was in a hurry so I just left my luggage downstairs. Upon returning later that night, Khaloula was so helpful. She gave me my luggage I had previously checked in, we chatted briefly, and she gave me a free upgrade to a room on a higher floor with a great view of the empire state building! I've stayed in Manhattan fairly often, but this may be the first time I get a view thats more than just a brick wall. It was a touch I greatly appreciated. The room itself is clean, simple, kinda small but hey it's midtown New York, what do you expect? But for what I needed, it was perfect. Bed was comfy, great view at night, solid wifi. Highly recommend for other business travelers.

First, I want to say that Premier hotels are supposed to be better hotels than the standard BW-branded hotel. If you were looking only at the building (just over a year old) you might be fooled into believing that this is a Premier hotel, but beyond the look there isn't much Premier about it. I don't think BW should continue to market this hotel in its current brand class. That said, I stayed two nights in this hotel because of the geographic proximity to some meetings. The location is very good, if you can get OUT of the hotel. On the second night, as I was leaving for a dinner, I got stuck in the elevator. The telephone button in the elevator didn't work. My cell phone did, but the front desk could barely hear me. The staff did indicate they would send help, but were noncommittal about when that would arrive. The receptionist did not know my name or my room or whether I was a guest or visitor, but she was very against my calling the fire department. I decided to ask NYFD (Ladder 24 gets 5 stars) to get me out, and once they were called they got me out of the elevator relatively quickly from the time they were dispatched. That said, the hotel played no part in helping me, and once I got out and left for the night, upon return the elevator was still out of service. I missed dinner because the restaurant closed. The next day the hotel indicated they had done more than the Fire Dep't (totally untrue). I also learned that the hotel is used to the elevator not working - again, new hotel, new elevators, but the hotel knows there's a problem (likely electrical) and they haven't fixed it. While some staff members are nice (hence I'm rating this hotel poor as opposed to terrible), management is terrible and fails to take responsibility.
Dear JonnyTraveler1889, Thank you for taking the time to share your review and experience. We are glad to know you found the location of our hotel convenient, however, I do regret that you experienced several shortcomings during your stay. Our primary goal is to provide all guests with an enjoyable experience and it is troubling to know that you faced such an unusual experience. We have briefed our housekeeping staff, and we will ensure a more stringent approach from here on, especially when it comes to enhancing our regular quality checks. We take this quite highly and your feedback will be shared with management so that appropriate steps can be taken. Thank you again for taking the time for sharing this experience and for your valuable business.
We booked a night at the hotel as friends and accidently booked a queensize bed. The super kind staff member Khaoula helped us with our problem and helped us find another room - Thanks again for that! Room was in nice condition, clean bathroom and beds were comfy. Only small thing was that the air conditioning took very long to get heated but also that did not change our opinion here. Definitely recommended if you want to spend a night in the middle of NYC for an affordable budget

Great location very good value a new hotel walking distance to subway friendly helpful staff Free breakfast away from traffic so no noise at night restaurants and bars close by. It was only two stops to Times Square on 28 th st subway

First, I'd like to give a special thanks to Khaoula, the receptionist; she is very nice, sweet, helpful, welcoming, and all of the above. She honestly deserves the manager or assistant manager position; she and all of her colleagues are all dressed professionally and nicely as well, but she was literally the best. In addition to my review of the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel, the rooms are very nice and clean, all the staff are wonderful, housekeeping is very nice and helpful, and it fulfilled all my needs in a timely manner... I greatly appreciated Khaoula for making my experience wonderful. This brings my review of the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel to a close. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful hotel. ~Khamari

Superlative staff! New & clean rooms and bathrooms albeit small - BUT you are in the heart of Manhattan next to the Empire State! The staff is 5 stars! Khoula gave me her personal heater once when the heating system in the lobby wasn't working and I had some very important work to do there. Marie the breakfast lady was my son's favourite. Check in by Druhv was the smoothest ever! Jay was most personable and Afsheen was very helpful with our airport drop. Suggestion to please keep the left over breads, donuts, bagels and croissants from breakfast, next to the tea/coffee station in the lobby, instead of throwing it away. This way BW can curtail its wastage too! My husband has said the next time we come to NYC, we are definitely staying here again!

management has assembled a team of first class people in customer service. Every staff member always greeted us with a smile. The hotel is very clean, elevators are fast. I would like to point out one of the front desk clerks. Khaoula was always welcoming when my family entered the hotel saying hello and calling us by name. Her customer service skills are AWESOME and this location is lucky to have her!!!!

Khaoula is the best receptionist I have ever encountered while visiting a hotel. Her smile and personality made the trip and stay 10x better! Would stay at this hotel again just because of the experience she provided!

My stay at the Best Western Premier Empire State was absolutely wonderful and made travelling around the heart of Midtown Manhattan so much easier than I had previously thought. What was especially impressive about this hotel was that it is in a safe, relatively quiet location with perfectly clean rooms and generous amenities. One aspect of our stay which we found to be particularly impressive was the completely free coffee, tea and water. This might sound fairly insignificant, although having visited a number of other New York hotels with friends, it is surprising how rare it is to find such amenities free of charge. This is excellent for morning coffee as well as allowing you to fill up a water bottle for the day - in the process saving you a fair amount of money. The location is sublime, with Central Park, Fifth Avenue, Times Square and the Empire State Building within good walking distance. There are also plenty of shops around, including the likes of CVS, Walgreens and other convenience stores - useful if you need any necessities. You really do get an excellent value for money here and I must say I am very pleased with the service we received. The single BEST aspect of this hotel is the staff, though. They were very friendly when we arrived and was always helpful when we spoke with her. Some of the staff I did not get the names of but they were all kind, courteous and professional. The hidden gem of this hotel is definitely Khaoula - an absolutely phenomenonal member of staff. She always greeted us with an unparalleled enthusiasm and warm, beaming smile, which made us feel very much at home. Also, (not taking anything away from the other staff) Khaoula is an extremely hard worker who, is always doing her best to cheer up every guest. I am not exaggerating when I say that she might just be one of the best in her profession. What a beautiful person! Like I said, I think everyone working at that hotel deserves high praise. If you are thinking about staying here (and I spent an age trying to decide where) then in my experience this is the place. Absolutely brilliant.
Hi Josh2729, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so pleased that you found us a clean and pleasant place to stay and that our amenities, service, and hospitality were to your liking. We take real pride in this hotel and in serving guests like you, and I'm extremely happy that you had such a pleasant stay. We hope to see you stay with us more in the future as we promise to push our services better to provide you the most pleasant stay that you can find. We thank you that you highlighted our strengths in your review. May you return again soon and feel comfortable just like the last time!
I would Never Recommend this hotel especially if you are coming from out town. They DO NOT ACCOMMODATE PARKING for their GUESTS at ALL. You have to pay for parking $80 a day plus if you wanted to drive out and site see you MUST PAY another fee of $80 and you must be back by 12midnight or you would have to look for somewhere else to park your vehicle. The staff was AWESOME however the EXECUTIVE KING ROOM with MINI FRIDGE is EXTREMELY SMALL REALLY SMALL
Dear shakemyhead2022, Thank you for providing us with feedback from your recent stay. It's great to hear that our staff was awesome, however, I do regret that you experienced several shortcomings during your stay especially with the parking and the condition of your room. I have communicated these issues with the appropriate department heads to ensure they are remedied quickly. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to be able to exceed your expectations in the future!
Aside from this hotels' cleanliness and convenient location! It's refreshing to have met Khaoula; from providing unmatched professionalism, a warm smile coupled with effortless five star hospitality. Having that experience, I rave five star quality in my opinion. Thx for making me feel at home!!

The front desk employees were amazing when checking in and out. The area was very quiet at night and the views were amazing. I would definitely stay here again. 'Easy to walk to from the subway and it was a great location from all the locations we wanted to see.

Honestly the receptionist. Was so helpful and sweet she helped me on several occasions i stay here a lot because of her. Has been nothing but a pleasure honestly . I thought she was management with how she handled the situation. Thank you Khaoula! I will be looking forward to seeing you everytime when i stay in Manhattan.
Khaoula, at the front desk, gave us the best customer service that even 5 stars hôtels doesn't give. Please give this girl a raise, she deserves it ! She was genuinely smiling all the time we were passing by and was very helpful with all our requests. I would definitely recommend this hotel not only for Khaoula but also because it is very well located: walking distance from great rooftops, restaurants and grocery stores. The room has a decent size, the bed was very comfy and the Wi-Fi was fast. Thank you, I would definitely come back again!

Stayed at the Best Western Empire State Hotel. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the room was bigger than you would expect in New York. We felt safe at all times. The hotel is about a year old so it is pretty updated. Coffee pot in the room which is a big plus for me. The hotel staff went out of their way to help with transportation questions and the best way to get where we were going. It is right by Korean town and had some good food out the door and down the block. I would stay there again.

Shout out to the staff, Khaoula and Lola welcomed us every time we entered the lobby and wished us well as we went out sightseeing. Very personal which I never experienced before. The hotel was very clean and the location was very close to the subway and the Empire State Bldg, times square a couple of blocks away. I highly recommend this hotel. We were very comfortable. I would stay here anytime again.

I wasn't expecting a lot from a budget hotel and was ready for a disappointing experience. However, I was very pleasantly surprised by a number of factors. From the start, I was impressed with the level of friendliness by the reception. They were warm and very helpful. Then my room was perfectly formed, having all the key attributes such as a lovely big and comfortable bed, nice soft sheets, space for my suitcase, a nice open closet, coffee and tea, ironing board and iron. The room seemed to be designed very well. The bathroom was lovely with white marble. Importantly, the room was very clean and crisp!

My husband and I were thankful to have a place to stay that was walkable to and from our business meetings and conference that we were in town for. Every night was restful and enjoyable with the excellent, friendly staff and refreshing water station and hot tea/coffee station to come back to. We definitely aim to stay here again on our next NYC trip.

No frills hotel which possibly influences my judgement as I may be too well accustomed. When on a budget, this is the perfect place. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay. All staff was very friendly and manager offered late check-our. Would happily return - if on a budget. ;)

BW Premier Empire State is in a great location (East 30th between Madison & 5th). Easy to get a cab or take a bus or the subway. Breakfast seemed to be included with our stay - we took advantage once but had other plans for the other mornings. Room we stayed in was very decent. But be prepared for very thin walls! If the guests in the room next to yours are loud or like to party from 12-4 AM, well then, you won't get much sleep! You have to request housekeeping during your stay. We were there for 3 nights and didn't require housekeeping. Likely would have if we stayed longer. I would consider staying here again but I'd be concerned about noisy neighbours.

After two months of returning from my trip, it's still worth to share my experience as been part of the industry. -Positive: -Location is great and súper central to all main attractions in NYC. -Despite of the location and it's likelihood of been quite noisy, its isolation is quite good ( I stayed in level 11 ) -HUGE COMPLIMENT TO MARY, who is in charge of breakfasts in the hotel! She prepares all food daily and quite fresh and balanced. Yet, her service is amazing! Highly recommended and fully balanced options. To improve: - From my point of view, I would suggest to lock the doors after certain time and just allow access to whoever is guest with the usage of room keys. Although I did not feel insecure at any time, I reckon the city is that active that you can see any sort of characters on the street and it would be worth to protect the property, and of course, guest integrity. I will 100% recommend to stay at Best Western at Empire State!!

Right off of Fifth Avenue and 30th Street. If you like to walk or take public transportation, this is a great location. The hotel was clean and the room was small, but had all that was needed. The front desk staff was wonderful, friendly, and accommodating when I needed to leave my bag before my room was ready so I can get to my planned activities. I may consider staying here in the future.

This place provides a great service to her customers. After staying here for a week, we decided to stay a couple of days longer. They provided great help to book the extra days. I will be staying there again in November. The manager, Jay Singh, even gave me a discount for my stay in November.

The location of the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel is great as it allows for a healthy walk to Central Park via 5th ave, 6th ave, or Broadway passing several key sights on the way, including the Empire State Building, Bryant Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and the MoMA. The hotel is situated right next to a parking garage and this was super convenient for us to bring our bags in. Abraham provided great service with a smile, which isn't always easy to find in Manhattan. The hotel front desk had friendly staff and permitted early check-in hours before the advertised time. We opted to go for the breakfast buffet, and it was a great decision. One floor below the main they have ample seating allowing for a comfortable breakfast to fuel up before heading out on long walks for the day. The breakfast opened at 7 am and is super convenient to get ready and head downstairs before starting our exploration of the city. We stayed two nights and both days we were treated to a diverse set of items for the hot breakfast. We loved filling our water bottles with ice-cold lemon water before commencing our walk. The rooms are typical Manhattan size, but they've done a fantastic job maximizing counter space with drawers and cupboards to organize items from your luggage. We also had a mini fridge and a discrete safe available in our room. We will certainly stay at this location again when visiting NYC.
Hi mathan_thava, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so pleased that you found us a clean and pleasant place to stay and that our location, breakfast, and amenities were to your liking. We take real pride in this hotel and in serving guests like you, and I'm extremely happy that you had such a pleasant stay. Our team works hard to ensure a satisfying experience for all our guests and we are pleased to hear that yours was a satisfying stay. We hope to see you again soon.
Hotel room is spacious enough for two adults. Nice king size bed and updated bathroom with excellent water pressure in the shower. Real estate is narrow and tall there. 6 rooms per floor and there are 21 floors. Regarding front desk staff, Tara is awesome and knowledgeable about restaurant recommendations in the area. They also were able to accommodate early check in, which was great. They also offer lemon water in the lobby, which was a nice touch after spending 3 hours at the stadium watching the mets in 85 degree heat. Hallway is narrow, so keep that in mind when packing luggage. Price point is on point! Here comes the ONLY negative review which is not of the hotel, but the parking garage they recommend. Do NOT use Meyers garage on 9 west 35th street!!!!! Hotel clerk said they offer their hotel guests a $42/day parking rate. Upon entering garage, we knew we would be one hour late after the 24 hours and we were told they would charge $20 for that extra hour. So we were expecting to pay $62 for parking. We arrived within the hour after 24 hours like we said we would. And the total was $79. Trying to talk to these people, was like dealing with a mexican cartel. Even though the validation sticker on the back says $42, the “manager” of the garage, says he doesnt offer hotel validation at that price and went on to say that of you come back late after the 24 hours the discount is null and void and you pay the regular rate. So first it was we dont offer validation (and he said this very trashy)..then went on to say well you came back late, the discount is off the table. None of this made any sense. Upon calling the Best Western, the manager Jay tried saying well, do you have a large truck or van? No. We have a Rav4. Small vehicle. And he also said he tells his guests to get there before the 24 hours is up. We were not told this at check in (from the front desk staff.::it was not Jay the manager) AND when we asked at the garage, again, we were told we would get the discount and then pay hourly for each hour after. In the end, if you have a vehicle to park, use any garage but the garage the hotel recommends. They scam people and upon reading reviews of the garage, they play the same scam on other's. You are forced to pay because they have your car and keys.
Hi Fleges0425, Thank you for providing us with feedback from your recent stay. It's great to hear that our staff was accommodating and enjoyed the amenities provided, however, I do regret that you experienced several shortcomings during your stay, especially with the parking. I have communicated these issues with the appropriate department heads to ensure they are remedied quickly. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to be able to exceed your expectations in the future!
This hotel is in a great location. The front desk workers are all fantastic, and very helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I stayed here on a weekly for business, and I was never let down. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting New York!
Hi russellk798, It is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you have rated our hospitality and accommodations so highly!

We can't begin to tell you how much we appreciate your review, and we can't wait to serve you again. Thank you very much!
We stayed at Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel earlier this month. The hotel is new (it opened in August 2021). Each floor just has six rooms. The rooms are efficient (typical of Manhattan NY hotel in size) and have all the basic needed amenities. We had booked two rooms. Our rooms were clean and functional. Check in staff led my manager- Jay Singh were very welcoming, accommodative and helpful. They let us check in to one of our rooms at least 4-5 hours before check-in time so that we could store the luggage and even helped us chalk our itinerary for the couple of days based on places that we wanted to see and gave us pointers on subway routes. They also allowed to have a late dinner (after 11:30 pm) in the small lounge area besides the elevators and stored our luggage after we checked out. Overall, we had a pleasant experience during our stay. If you are looking for a new hotel that is reasonably priced and has welcoming staff, Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel, is worth a consideration.
Hi akulk001, Thank you for taking the time to complete our guest satisfaction survey and for rating our hotel so highly! I can't begin to express how much it means to our management and staff to hear from guests like yourself who have found our accommodations and services to be so welcoming. We greatly appreciate the time you've taken to rate our hotel. We will share your awesome review to our staff especially with Jay and we look forward to your next visit.
Great economy hotel with floor to ceiling windows in an excellent neighborhood/on a good block. Better hotel than it's sister property on W 37th. Issue with inconsiderate neighbors was dealt with quickly and efficiently by Lola at the front desk (Thank You!). Clean rooms, medium-slow elevators & thin walls. Minimal city noise but hit-or-miss with fellow guests. Breakfast not included, but available, and halfway decent coffee (& tea) 24/7 in lobby. Have stayed twice, anticipate visiting again
We had the great pleasure of staying at the hotel for 10 days. We got a very nice room on floor 16 with a pleasant view to the north. Good beds. Nice cleaning. Very high level of service. The hotel is centrally located, close to everything, but at the same time there is a nice calmness. We would love to stay here again.
Thank you 569jacobj, your review is very impressive to us. It is very rewarding to hear your perspective of our hotel and we appreciate that you have acknowledged our efforts to provide a clean, comfortable, and hospitable experience. We look forward to serving you again and giving you another five star experience.
Hotel is in a great location. There were construction materials outside the hotel entrance, but the inside of the hotel was clean, stylish, and well-organized, and the hotel staff were friendly and courteous. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, well furnished and very comfortable. Our room had a view of the Manhattan skyline, and it was extremely quiet. All in all, an excellent experience!
Hi margaretwA5968NT, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so pleased that you found us a clean and pleasant place to stay and that our location and hospitality were to your liking. We take real pride in this hotel and in serving guests like you, and I'm extremely happy that you had such a pleasant stay. We look forward to having you with us again soon.
First of all, I think this is a good hotel for the price if you got the right expectations. I stayed once before this trip, but when I arrived the AC in my room was making a loud noise. Lola at the front desk helped transfer me to another, quieter room. I do not recommend getting a room on the top floor, the views were not good, and the layout was really poor compared to the other rooms.
From the beginning it was an amazing experience, the check in at the front desk with Tara, she was super helpful in everything I needed. The room was in perfect condition, amazing beds and breathtaking views. Not to mention the incredible service in the breakfast area with Mary, she was a sweetheart, kudos to her. 100% recommended if you are planning to stay in Manhattan
Our hotel room, 2 doubles, had laminated floors, which we like! Everyone that worked the front desk was kind and courteous. They had ice water on hand which is great with the heat. The room had everything you need, a little coffee maker, shampoo etc. We did not have breakfast because our schedule would not allow. I would stay her again and again!
The best western is a great family hotel to stay at. On every floor there is only six rooms the rooms are a little small but there is enough room to walk around. The shower tiles mite need to be replaced. The beds are very comfy and clean. the breakfast lady's name is Mary and she is very nice and she crept all the tables nice and clean. the fruit was not the greatest and I think they could of added a couple more choices but everything else was good. thought there is a little of construction work outside but there is no noise so it's not that bad.
Stayed at the hotel for three weeks with my two adult kids. When I started looking for a place to stay in midtown NYC, the hotel would come out as one of the better value hotels. Great that it didn't have as much of the hidden charges of some hotels that come out initially as cheaper on a per night basis, but then are actually way more expensive when you factor in all the extras. For the rate and the fact that this is NYC, room size is okay if you are going to use it primarily as a place to sleep in. Obviously, the space in the room is not what you would get in other hotels in other cities for the rate, but as I said, this is NYC. Any lack of space in the room (especially when you are all still awake and looking to use gadgets, watch tv, etc) is compensated by the living room in the lobby area where you can do some work on a laptop, eat, or simply just hang out if you feel too crowded in the room when you get back from your activities for the day. There is also free cold water, coffee, tea in the lobby. The basement has two computers you can use or print docs from, two extra bathrooms for hotel guests, and a dining area. Double bed is big enough for two adults. No issues with the showers as water pressure was strong throughout our stay and the temperature control was consistent throughout. Our toilet bowl clogged up twice though but the hotel fixed it immediately during both occasions. When we did discover the bathrooms in the basement after a few days in the hotel, we actually used it more for our bathroom needs (especially for no. 2- HA HA), to avoid any further clogging of the bathroom. It was actually better since we essentially had an extra bathroom for the three of us and we didn't have to wait for one another to use the one in our room. There was no refrigerator in our room but I really did not see the need for it as water is readily available in the lobby. I do know that some rooms do have a ref. No gym on the grounds also. No issues with WIFI throughout. Given current COVID restrictions, rooms though across the US don't get daily clean ups. Obviously getting the room fixed up everyday with fresh new towels would be great, but no issues here given that is the world we live in now. Hotel is definitely in a great location as it is walking distance to many of NYC's attractions. If you don't feel like making the 30+ minute walks to certain sites, the hotel is near several subway stations in both the east and west sides. No issues with the staff as all were generally courteous. General Manager was very accommodating and would go out of his way to let guests know of certain updates in the hotel. Some suggestions: 1. It would be good if the guests were informed both verbally and perhaps given a one page print out upon check in of some of the amenities in the hotel. We actually did not know there was a basement with a dining area, two bathrooms, a mini-business center, until a few days into our stay. We made use of the area a lot in our stay. 2. There was an open area beside the living room area of the lobby which I was not sure was open for use or not. I did see some guests use it at least once but one time I asked, the receptionist at that time said she wasn't sure if it was really open due to current COVID restrictions. 3. I personally had no issue with people using the living room to eat since we did so ourselves, but it may be good for the hotel staff to let people know that there is a dining area at the basement. There were times when some groups of guests of 4 or more would have several plates or take out boxes laid out on tables. It might be better if dining, especially big groups, were done at the dining area in the basement or in the outside area (if open) and the living room lobby was more for people to work, have coffee, or just hang out in. Actually, if it is possible, the receptionist or one of the staff could show at least one member of the guests' party upon check in, the different areas of the hotel. 4. The last suggestion would involve the booking of transports for leaving hotel guests. The hotel booked our transport arrangements to JFK Airport. Driver arrived on time and we did make it to JFK in one piece. It would be good practice though if guests are advised even without their asking what the expected price of the service may be. I don't expect it to be the same for all but I believe a general range can be established for some of the more standard drop-offs like JFK, LA Guardia, etc. The guests should also be advised if they will be better of paying in cash or card. While I know it may be beyond the capacity of the hotel, it should be explored if they can make arrangements for a certain pool of drivers to service their needs or ask their guests to rate their drivers they booked as well. The one we got for our ride to JFK was not a particularly good driver. Instead of having his phone on a stand on the dashboard, he had it on his lap. He would constantly look at it for updates I guess which of course is not really a safe way to drive. We also had not yet reached the airport and he was already asking for payment. I asked if I could pay by card and he said yes. Not sure if Lyft or Uber drivers have swipe machines, but might be better to do so since this one didn't have one and he was having problems inputting the payment on his phone. I eventually asked for my card back and just paid him in cash. Still, it would have been good if the hotel advised what the expected charges may be even if I didn't ask and if I would be better off paying in cash or card. And if the latter, what to expect on how card payments would be processed. All in all though, given the cost, the location, and the current facilities, I would recommend the hotel if it is in your budget and you are looking at it primarily as a place to sleep in while in the city and one that is near to many attractions either via walk or subway.
I've never been more happy than I was when Mary the girl at the kitchen helped me at the breakfast hour, the food was delicious, there was plenty of choices and she was extra helpful! Super recommend and i hope there was a service like Mary's in Every hotel
I checked into this hotel in feb 11-15 of 2022 for NYFW and it is Now june... I have been here practically since then with an Occassion two days somewhere else in the city just to vibe with certain parts of town and give my Pocket some healing when I gets a little too pricey just to cleanse the energy for myself however I do stay in Most BW just be loyal to the Family Business... Service has been exceptional since I checked in from day one with Laura who initially checked me in and I have seen her in other properties as well always courteous and professional. I have gotten to feel comfortable in the hotel because I feel welcomed and with a great amount of mutual reciprocity. So it feels like my home away from home I feel at peace when I'm here. The Assistant or the manager (Jay) is Great at his job and he does an outstanding job managing the properties he is affiliated with in which I have lodged in. Very professional and accommodating. Lola is my New Yorker friend!!! she is bubbly and funny and pleasant and goes the extra mile she checks in with them 5mins after check in to make sure all is Great! She prints out maps ready to go, just for guests who may need directions around the area. (Laundry. Grocery. Pizza place, lounge... etc) The night front desk staff are pretty chill and helpful. not much goes on at night except me going down to pick of my food delivery at 4am lol. The housekeeping staff that I have gotten to know are pleasant Nd hardworking. Overall it has been a Great stay *except (when the hotels in the area all of a sudden get really $$$) summer travels" i have been here since Feb and I wouldn't have been here as long I have if it wasnt a Greatstay. And thanks to Everyone who made it worth a whole while. Back to Los Angeles for me! Best regards. Ps. I didnt read this back so if there are any word errors blame "AutoCorrect" lol.
Good location, Excellent staff, very attentive. 24/7 of cold water, coffee, and tea. Good Wi-Fi Comfortable bed and pillows It could be good to have a small refrigerator in the room, especially in summer.
I was extremely satisfied with my stay at the Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel. The hotel manager Jay and his staff were absolutely fantastic. The room was spotless,bed very comfortable,bathroom perfect size. Complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby was great. I have only praise for this hotel. I'm looking forward to returning in a few months. Corey Breier
I lived there for almost of one week recently. Its an amazing location in heart of manhattan with lot of places on either accessible by walk or metro which just 300m away. Another plus point is great staff which is very polite & helpful and always available for any kind help.
We loved this modern and clean hotel. It is so central yet the street it's on is quieter than neighbouring streets. The rooms were lovely, modern and clean. Shower was lovely and hot as you like and spacious. I loved the coffee machine in the room too for first thing in the morning, as well as coffee machines, fresh chilled water and boiled water available in the lobby. There seem to only be 3 rooms on each floor which means the lift was never busy and not much noise from corridors Staff were extremely helpful, polite and friendly. We were there for 6 days at end of May visiting from UK and would definitely stay here again!
This was the cheapest hotel I could find that looked okay so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was fantastic. It's brand new and the rooms are designed really well. My room looked contemporary, was neat as a pin and extremely comfortable. It's pretty quiet (on a side street) and you're right in the middle of the city so it's easy to head anywhere. Plus the staff was really nice. I loved staying here.
I checked in and the lady behind the counter was fine enough. I went to the room and before that I took some water from the water station next to the elevator. Only a few feet away from where I checked in. I heard the lady say to someone “Transgender on 4th” meaning my floor. I went back and she was totally shocked I was still there. I never spoke to her again. I was not refunded my 100 USD but westpac bank in Australia charged this back. The good is hotel in great location that's it.
Hello, We are glad that you got to take advantage of our convenient location. However, I cannot emphasize enough how much I apologize for the comments that you heard as these are not acceptable standards. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Do not hesitate to give me a call to discuss this experience that you had. Please call the hotel at 212-576-9000 and ask for the general manager. Mustafa Syed General Manager
I have had enough of this hotel. They charged me 101 USD deposit on arrival which is fine. This was deducted from my card. My bank in the UK has also agreed that 101 USD was taken out and paid to the Best Western as per screenshot. Called the hotel who told me that I will be refunded 5-7 days. That's fine. No refund. Called the hotel who advised me to wait to last Friday and still no refund. So I sent an email and no one replied. It's only when I called for a 3rd time Jay the Asst general manager emailed me saying it's released on the 22nd April. To wait. I waited. Then a completely different message it's only an authorisation. I sent proof this was not the case as the money was indeed deducted and paid to Best Western. He sent me a screenshot saying it was refunded but any person can see that the 100 USD has NOT been refunded from his screenshot (Attached) I told him again the money has been refunded and all he has to do is speak to his accounts as he will see a surplus of 101 USD. Did he? Nope. He told me to contact my bank. I have already and the money has been taken. So I ended up the conversation saying I am now taking this further as he obviously has no power in the hotel so I will find someone who can. I have proof. They do not. The moral of this story is that refuse to pay this charge if you can.
Hello, Nick. My name is Mustafah Syed and I am the General Manager of the BW Premier Empire State Hotel. I sincerely apologize for what you experienced at our hotel. We aim to provide exceptional service to our guests, and this is not typical of our expected customer experience at BW Premier Empire State hotel. My team did the best they could with their limited access to resources for a matter such as this, and we certainly would like to discuss this with you. Please call the hotel at 212-576-9000 and ask for the general manager. We want to do everything possible to make this right and investigate further with you.
I can really recommend this place. Especially Lola. Lola was the best and super helpful! She made every effort to help with the booking and was very kind. I will come back to this place. Central located and nice spacious rooms. Thanks again Lola!
Hi Claudiu, We are so happy to hear that you had a great experience at our location. We strive to provide the best customer service to our guests through our training – Lola will be excited to hear about your comment. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit to NYC. Mustafa Syed General Manager
Given the Covid Times we live in, Best Western Empire State is a great hotel to stay in. My room was very clean and comfortable. I appreciate the front desk staff being up front about the housekeeping limitations due to Covid safety, etc. Whenever I needed to have a question answered or a request, it was fulfilled in a short amount of time. When I needed my stay extended on my business the staff was very gracious and supportive in helping me do so. Lola/Lolita was especially great in helping me make new arrangements. She, along with the staff overall were professional and friendly. My housekeeping requests were honored and I look forward to my return. Great location too! Florante G.
Hello, It sounds like you got to experience the dedicated honesty of our staff – our goal is to give everyone a great experience at our hotel within our established levels of safety. We are also glad that Lola was able to provide great customer service to you, as well as accommodate your requests as needed. Thank you for your stay! Mustafa Syed General Manager
This is a decent hotel but some things bothered me. Pros: - We arrived early and they let us check in early because there was a room available. - Rooms are quiet and clean. Cons: - The phone in our room didn't work so we had to go downstairs to talk to front desk. - I requested fresh towels on our last day and was told that they would send it up to the room but never received them. - I left behind my favorite robe in the room and I called them to ask about it. I was told that they would call be back but they never did so I had to call them again. They said they didn't find it. Pretty sure housekeeping kept it. :(
Our first trip as a family of 5 to NY. Our prebooked apartment accomodation fell through and this hotel was recommended by locals. The wonderful front desk staff rescued us from a horrible stressful emergency. We felt so looked after we booked the rooms for the remainder of our stay. No question or request was too trivial and the advice and tips they gave us were spot on. Standard rooms were clean and comfortable, good sound proofing from outside noise. Superb location for all major sights. If I'm ever in NY again I will head straight back there.
The guy working at night is awesome and very helpful I bearly remember his name youesf 5 stars for him and location was good everything was nearby and it was my first and good experience in New York will plan again to visit again will recommend this hotel to my friends and family
We are from the Midwest and we may have different expectations than a New Yorker. We don't consider this to be a Premier location. The website says New Construction, it is a new remodel, NOT new construction. The narrow hallways where the rooms are have a dark, dank appearance & feel. The rooms are tightly spaced and the doors are literally side by side, room layout is super small & the walls are very thin. Street sounds went on all night long, along with partying neighbors in the next room. I always pack earplugs & that helped a lot to filter the noise out. A single King bed is placed in a room that would nicely fit a Queen bed & chair. There is no sitting area in the room, no walk around room. The bathroom was so tight with no space for toiletries & no space to turn around because the door is in the way. No fridge, no microwave, no closet, no breakfast. The lobby coffee & water was out most days. The plus we found was the staff was very kind & accommodating, housekeeping was very nice as well. They seemed to all do their jobs very well. This location is central to the subways which was convenient. For travelers new to NYC, no onsite parking, you must secure your own with off site vendors.
My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights. Lovely, friendly and obliging staff. Wonderful comfy bed. It is a short walk to the 33rd street subway station on the green line which is super easy to get uptown and downtown easily. It is a close walk to both 5th and Park for lots of eating and coffee options. Overall excellent value for money as it wasn't too pricey compared to other options in Manhattan.
We stayed in a room with a king bed. Yes the rooms are small but if there's 2 of you and you're really only using the room to sleep and hangout for a few hours a day then it's perfect for 2 people. Any more then 2 per room and I wouldn't recommend it. Rooms were clean and staff was nice!
Amazing room for the price and in a great area. we slept like babies in the beds very clean. Lolita was the best great customer service! Bathrooms are very roomy we loved the shower heads (just the right amount of pressure. Cleaning staff was on point new bedding daily.
This hotel is one of the best values in NYC. We paid less than $150 per night (including fees and taxes) and the hotel is comparable to those charging $300 per night. It is brand new and being kept up to excellent standards. When we stay at a new hotel, I look to see if it will “last”, especially at lower cost/brands. BW Empire State has not been made cheaply (good fixtures, furniture, etc) so I would expect it to keep its value. Yes, the rooms are pretty small (like many in NYC), but so well planned and laid out, it is very comfortable for an extended stay (desk/stool; long bench/stool - we used that as a little dining table), hanging space and drawers. They provided us with a refrigerator upon request that was helpful. There are some cons that I would deduct 1/2 point for. First, there is poor soundproofing of the rooms. We heard our neighbors a lot. We sleep with ear plugs, but still heard the loud noises (especially the group that partied at 3am). Luckily they only stayed a couple of nights. Second, on two separate days our room key cards stopped working (and we had not kept them near our phones or cc's). Maybe they are working out that glitch. I would keep my eye on the reviews going forward; if it keeps up its quality and pricing, this is a good option for a NYC stay.
I love this hotel. Everything worked well and staff were very polite and helpful and made sure my stay was a pleasant one. The free coffee in the lobby is the best I've ever tasted. I got a few packs to take back home with me. Subway, bus stops within walking distance and plenty of places to eat out and have food delivered. No room service due to Covid restrictions, but you can request for new fresh towels and garbage/rubbish to be removed from the room before 11am. Thank you and I'll be back.
I decided to stay here due to it being a new location while having an in hotel bar and I trusted the brand, but I was fooled. Between shoddy construction lack of finishing the room and low staffing it wasn't a great stay. Positive: Location very convenient to train and bus stops Gave me additional blanket due to half of our family liking it cooler Negatives: Room Safe not installed, just sitting in the drawer not usable TV was still in "display" mode causing a menu to always pop up on the screen Halls and Elevator scratched up and damaged (already?) The bar hasn't been opened yet (though still listed as having one on their website) only 3 drawers to utilize in a room for 4. Poor sound proofing, the hallways and rooms on the same floor you can hear all the sounds.
Hello, Paulabatton. I am the General Manager of the Best Western Premier Empire State and would like to apologize for the negative experience during your stay. With our location recently opening, we have been adding finishing touches to Best Western Empire State as construction has prolonged. The pandemic has also put us in a unique situation as we would love to open our Cocktail Lounge to the public. We strive to provide the best stay for those visiting our community and will be sure to address the concerns you have brought to our attention. Thank you for your time and review. We hope you may reconsider us in the future as we would like to transform your stay into a positive experience.
Spend two nights over the weekend after some other plans fell through. Staff were consistently courteous and helpful. The room was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again next time I'm in NYC!
Hi TMonoceros. So sorry your plans fell through but so happy you chose to stay with us. Our location has a reputation of courteous staff. We hope you had the opportunity to explore the attractions nearby, and if not, we hope you have the chance next time you stay in NYC!
Been there for 10 days, it was the best experience I've ever had in any hotel. I got my room and found out I had trouble with the AC, 5 minutes after I got a new room. The smile from the hotel crew from morning until night was a pleasure for me each time I went in or out of the hotel. The location is just perfect, around 15-20 minutes walk from every main place at Manhattan, and there's also a subway in 4 minutes walk range. I have no words to describe how incredible this hotel is and how much of an upgrade it did to my whole trip.
