The Hotel is very centrally located but in need of a total refurbishment. It is tired, old and shabby so if you are planning a romantic break, its not for you. If however you are visiting the sights and attractions of NYC, the location is great. Its seconds from Broadway, Maceys and all the districts with the underground system located... more

Our room here was very small, but as expected with NYC budget hotel rooms! I wouldn't say it was luxurious, but it was excpeptionally clean and well maintained and had a coffee maker in the room which was a bonus. However, you just CANNOT beat the location for this price bracket; it is ideal for travellers on a budget, as... more

My wife and I recently returned from a week in this shabby hotel. We were there under duress after a reservation with another place featured on the site cancelled on us at the last minute. Our room was tiny. It faced onto the street so I had to wear ear-plugs in order to get a good night's sleep. The bathroom... more

The President has a good location, just a few meters to the time square. The hotel was a bit crummy, but it was clean. more

This was without a doubt the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room contained one double bed and was so small you could barely walk around it. The whole hotel stunk of mold. We booked it on Priceline so we did not know what we were getting into until it was too late. We only saved $7.00 off... more

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at this hotel last weekend (Sept. 2008). I read many, many reviews of this hotel on TripAdvisor before I picked it. Some said it was the worst ever, some said it was great, some said it was OK. We're in the "It's fine, no problems" category. The location is fantastic (48th St.... more

The Best Western President is quite a nice hotel and served our purpose perfectly. We stayed here with my spouse for 3 nights and were quite amazed when we walked out in search for Times Square for the first time -it's around the corner! This hotel is a good base, but only if you're not very fussy. Our room was... more

i stayed here aug. 14- 19, 2008. the hotel is in a great location (times square). the room was good, but the bathroom was very tiny. put it this way if you weigh over 300 lbs. it would be a tight squeeze. the water pressure was great in the shower. the tv sound was low, i guess i could have... more
