Great for the Price We Paid
NYC SuperTrip Nov 24, 2009
The location was great!! We were right near Times Square and within walking distance to several restaurants and attractions. ... There was a subway stop nearby that gave us access to all of Manhattan. There is a parking garage directly across from the hotel entrance which was very convenient, they allowed us to leave our bags in the car until check-in and allowed us to put our bags back after check-out (we arrived around 9am and couldn't check in until 3pm). The parking was averaged price for NYC, about $35 for 24hrs. The room was small but very nice, with a clean bathroom. The room was also well lit. However, there was a loud banging and clanking when we turned the air on that continued for about 20 minutes. There was also a loud banding when the shower was on. The room was great for the amount of time we spent there. I had limited interaction with the staff, only during check-in and check-out. We had a great stay in NYC and would most likely stay at this hotel again. The price was great for the location.

There's a great place to get tickets to most shows in Times Square. It's called TKTS and the wait is very short. Its a lot easier to get tickets there and they have most of the shows available. Also if you have time, go get a Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity. It's at 60th between 2nd and 3rd Ave. Go later in the evening for dessert, the wait may be a long (30min - 1 hr) but it is well worth it.

Nice with some weak points
Jamie Nov 14, 2009
Rooms are definitely very small, even for NYC standards, even in the Deluxe version. Very noisy unless you are lucky enough ... to get a room in the upper floors. Nice hype style and clean atmosphere. For the amenities, the coffee maker was disappointing and the free internet didn't work. The Ipod dock was a great asset. I wish the bed would have been more comfortable. All in all, a nice hotel with some weak points deserving consideration should you get a nice bargain.

Misfit Fiend sees a show in Times Square
Misfit Fiend Nov 2, 2009
The Best Western Hotel is a comfortable hotel within walking distance of Times Square. Keeping with the Presidential theme, ... you will see pictures of previous presidents adorning the walls, hallways and rooms. The rooms are fairly small but provide plenty of space for two guests. The beds are the best part of the room in my opinion. After spending the entire day walking around town they provide an extremely comfortable spot to retire. Stand next to it and just collapse on it and you will hear no creaks and feel the softest mattress that will make you feel like you are laying on a cloud. The hotel also provides guests with a bag check in case you arrive well before check-in time. You can have your bag checked and receive a ticket stub to redeem for your luggage upon return. This way you can walk around town without having to worry about carrying luggage around or worrying if its safe. There is also a bar/lounge area located just inside the front doors. The elevators did require a few minute wait from hitting the call button until the doors opened but only a minor inconvenience. All in all the Best Western Presidential Hotel is a great hotel to stay in the big city for a reasonable price.

Take a right out of the lobby doors and walk to the end of the block and you are in times square. Plenty to do and see there.

Good value for the money. Being tourists and spending little time in the room, the small room was not a problem. Only two ... small negatives come to mind. The towels, though nice in appearance were not absorbent. The help desk has airport shuttle times but during our inquiry, they neglected to tell us that reservations must be made the morning before in order to get a morning slot.

Great location, fair price, not perfect
Nick from OK Oct 27, 2009
The location and style of the hotel were great. Just a block and a half from Times Square! It's newly-remodeled, which may ... explain why some things didn't work (A/C, missing towels, slamming doors). The staff fixed our problems right away though. The breakfast downstairs was $15 so we skipped it.

first timer to NYC Oct 26, 2009
My stay at the Best Western President Hotel was in a great tourist location to be close to Times Square and the subway. Did ... find the Fire Hall a little noisy during the night as the fire trucks took off with the sirens going. I had to change rooms after my first night but not a big deal, they moved my things for me while I was out for the day. When I returned to my new room, the towels were not replenished for my friend and I. The room size is typical for New York, but very managable and very clean.
