Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Best Western Premier Empire State Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the hotel's exceptional location, within walking distance of the Empire State Building and other central Manhattan attractions; it's also near a subway station, making it easy to reach other parts of the city. Many enjoy the convenience of being in the heart of Korean Town, surrounded by diverse dining options, including a Dunkin' Donuts just a short walk away. While some guests have mentioned that the quadruple rooms can feel quite small, the availability of amenities like a mini-fridge and car service at a reasonable price are definite perks.

Acceptable experience

friendly staff helpful staff parking garage convenient parking bag storage early arrival cold lighting room lighting heating problem broken heating inadequate shower water temperature

I arrived early, and the staff checked my bags. They held them for a few hours after I checked out, so that's helpful. This place is right next to a parking garage too. I like this location.

The room felt basic, and the lighting was cold. The shower wasn't hot enough for me. The heating in my room stopped working the morning I checked out, what a nightmare!

cramped room stale smoke

the room felt quite cramped i expected a bit more space even for a city hotel. also i noticed a faint but persistent smell of stale smoke even though it's a non-smoking hotel i mentioned it but the staff didn't seem too concerned i think they could improve their ventilation or air purification efforts it did detract from the overall experience a little the lack of space was more disappointing

central location helpful staff clean hotel

the location was CENTRAL for easy access to attractions. the staff proved helpful with area suggestions. i found the hotel clean .

i experienced very basic facilities, with a strange room layout placing the wardrobe far inside. the television quality seemed poor.

Dining

food options looked limited on-site, though several coffee shops existed nearby. the immediate area has many places for breakfast and quick meals , which is convenient.
