Excellent Family Accommodation in Downtown Manhatten
Our family of five stayed at Best Western in late January with two adults and three teenage children in a 2-bedroom suite. It was wonderful to find such a spacious apartment in such a great location in downtown Manhatten. Our daughter slept on the sofa bed in the lounge and as advised on this site, we requested a topper pad which made this bed very comfortable for her. Even with the sofa bed in the lounge area, we still had lots of space. The breakfast was adequate and we chose to bring it back to our room each day - there are trays provided in the room. We were within easy walking distance of Rockefeller centre and Times Square, while the nearest train station was only 5 minutes away. Staff at reception were helpful whenever we had any queries.
As the hotel is in downtown Manhatten, it is difficult to not have noise, however I found that there was constant street noise at night, and it seemed that the laundry trucks came to the Marriott hotel across the road several times each night. The hotel provide earplugs in the bedside cabinet, but I still found it very noisy and difficult to sleep.
As a family of 5 people there are very few options in such a central location so the Best Western was a great find.
