It's almost a 4 Star Hotel, for a good price if you compare it to other hotels in New York. It was comfortable and clean. I really appreciated the attention that the hotel has towards its guests providing them with comfort items, like a big screen TV, a coffee maker with decaf & normal coffee, microwave, lots of cups, 2...

(holidays, 2-5 jan 2011) We (my almost-wife and me) BEST WESTERN Plus Arena is Very clean and seems recently refurbished. The area around Nostrand Avenue is not so nice... and in the evening is really dark... but despite the impression it was quite safe and there are a lot of places to shop or eat within walking distance, including a...

We only had one issue at te subway stop because we didn't give a well dressed man our subway card that he wanted, he threatened o rob us if we... More

I stayed here a few months ago in October, and as October is a nutso tourist month in NYC, there weren't many choices. This one was the cheapest that didn't look rat-infested - cheap, obviously, being a subjective word when we're talking about New York. Look - it's in a shabby neighborhood. There's no getting around it. It's right under... More

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. It continues to be an excellent place to stay and the best value in the City. The hotel is about a year and a half old, the rooms are on the slightly small side but more than adequate. Each room is equipped with a mini fridge and microwave oven.... More

The room was very nice and the bed so very comfortable I hated to get up. The staff helped us to get transportation to various places... More

I've stayed at this property a couple of times for over night business trips. It's very clean and mordern for the average hotel. The staff is friendly and they point out all the amenities the hotel has to offer. Coat tailing on Robert W's review, it is located in a rough neighbourhood right next to the LIRR Nostrand Ave Station.... More

Good value and pleasant staff make this a good choice. While the neighborhood is kind of rough and not for everyone, the subway is only 2 blocks away. Manhattan is less than 30 minutes away by subway. I ate at a nice Japanese fast food restaurant 1/2 block away. Lots of other places to eat are nearby, including Indian, Chinese,... More

We actually went on our honeymoon. I realized before we left that the reason why people pick things like a cruise for their honeymoon is because they are half the price of going to a city like NYC. However, this is what we wanted so we had to make it work! If you are familiar with NYC, you quickly realize... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night visiting from Chicago for a funeral. It is definitely an up an coming area. They have available parking with a friendly staff and the hotel was very clean. The facility was very secure and we felt safe the entire time. The free breakfast was decent and added value to the already... More
