Best Western Plus Arena Hotel

AirTrain is a great option for getting there as the LIRR station at Nostrand and Atlantic is right outside. Bus lines north (New York Avenue) and south (Nostrand Avenue), and the B25 (Fulton) and east (B65 on Dean) and west (B65 on Bergen) as well as the A train at Nostrand and Fulton (about 3 street blocks away, and an express stop) make choosing mass transit easy. Lots of ethnic eateries around, and if you get in late there's a 24-hour deli on the corner for your late-night meal needs. Nostrand Wines and Liquors (NE corner of Nostrand and Atlantic) has a great selection of beverages at excellent prices to accompany the usually tasty meals from any of the local eateries. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room at the back of the hotel so you're away from the LIRR station. less

Stayed here many years ago and thought it wasn’t too bad so decided to give it a try due to its close proximity to JFK and diversity of cuisines nearby. The room was clean, bed linen was clean. The carpet felt a bit sticky and not sure if that was due to the age or just worn out. There is only one lift/elevator to the lobby area and this was out of action for a couple of days. To get to the other elevator would be climbing 10 or so steps to get to the next elevator. Not god if one has a number of luggage. Essential lifts should have a quick turnaround time for repairs. The Nostrand neighbourhood is undergoing change (for the better) in comparison to what it was say 10 years ago. There is a great deli / farmers market around the corner. Not cheap but great selection of juices, fruits and others. Few coffee shops around but the best tasting cappuccino I had was 5 blocks away at Cafe Con Libros which is also a little book store as well. Awesome! Would stay at Best Western again as long as the price remains competitive less

Staying in that hotel I felt safe. The security was always in the lobby. I would go back again in the near future. I would tell all my friends to book at that hotel. It also have transportation when you need to travel less

Worst hotel ever . Noise of train . Dirty . Cleaners and reception very rude Jamala and Jesica . 0 customer service. There is weeds and smoke in all hallways and rooms hotel manger terrible.! Stay away less

This hotel was mediocre at best. There was a broken table and air vent. The staff was not very friendly nor were they attentive. There was a socket that wasn’t working in the room. To top it all off, I woke up with a bump on my wrist and leg as though I was bitten by a bug. The bed was very comfortable, but would I stay here again? No. The two stars is only because of the comfort ability of the bed and the TV had a large range of channels. less
