I stayed here in 2004 and for about $140/night including taxes. I had been to NYC about 4 times that year and this was by far the best value. I was attending a conference in Times Square and I had a leg injury so I needed someplace walking distance. This hotel was much better than I expected for the price....

Small room, but big enough and very clean. Perfect location, almost right in the middle of Times Square. Not much noise, so sleeping is no problem.

Stayed here on business for 5 nights. Positives were: Location - right in Times Square, loads of subways, and 20 minutes easy walk to the JAVITS centre. Free wifi that was super quick, good enough to skype video call back to the UK, with easy login. Lovely decor both in the rooms and throughout the hotel. Enough toys in the...

I stayed at the BW President, first time on April 26th. It was a great experience the room was clean and well decorated, the breakfast was "as if I had cooked it myself" and the bell staff was helpful with my heavy load. I would recommend to anyone. I am currently trying to get a friend to stay there in...

Loved my trip to New York!! Would return and stay here again. We arrived during Easter week a very busy time. The hotel was not perfect but the location made up for all the discomforts. I would rate us as demanding clients. Because of that we really put the staff the hotel to the test. We actually went to celebrate...

I recently stayed in one of the Junior Suites. It offered a little more room since I was meeting clients during the week. The lobby areas were very modern and special. Clean floors, polished marble etc. The staff was friendly and attentive, and just as importantly they all seamed to know the area. Being in a suite, it had a...

The hotel is nice... with a few flaws. The lobby is beautiful and the staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms, while small, are clean and comfortable. Nice Panasonic flatscreen TV hanging on the wall! The location is awesome, one half block to Times Square, a block or two to Restaurant Row, a block or two to the subway. Breakfast is...
