Best Western Gregory Hotel - Brooklyn 40.625, -74.02748

This hotel was nice - however, be warned, do not go anywhere near the smoking floor - it was overwhelming with smoke and smell. Unfortunately one of the people in our party had no option but to get a room on a smoking floor and it was difficult to sleep. The breakfast bar - a bit disappointing. however, Brooklyn does not have much to offer in the way of hotels - so if necessary, I would probably stay again.

This location bills itself as a "luxury", but it was ok-average. Not necessarily worth the price, if not for being the only hotel for miles.

Check in was at 3 pm, but the room wasn't available until after 3:30. It would have been fine if I was aware of that before making plans for the afternoon.

Convenient to subway (2 blocks), but subway noise evident; windows do not open (for those who smoke or just want fresh air); Great bagels (continental breakfast otherwise average); safe & friendly neighborhood; lounge only open 5pm-10pm, Mon thru Sat. Overall, a pleasant place, and good value (especially at hotel.com rates).

After reading the reviews, I was slightly optimistic but concerned about staying at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised! The hotel was clean, the staff was super friendly and helpful, the room was quite comfortable, and the distance to the train was perfect! My husband & I would definitely stay here again on our next trip to NYC!

This is the only hotel in this part of Brooklyn and so if you need to stay in the local area, the Gregory is your only choice. I gave it an average rating on all the questions the Hotels.com survey asked and that's how I feel about it. The neighborhood is okay, the rooms are sufficient and they do provide a very basic breakfast in the morning. The front desk service is not the greatest - for instance they forgot to book a car service for me and when the elevator broke down although it was fixed fast, they forgot to go to all the floors to remove their signs saying the elevator was malfunctioning. To eat I suggest you walk a block over to 3rd Avenue where there is a nice selection of good Italian places. There is no restaurant in the hotel but there is a bar. I stopped in the bar one evening to grab a delivery menu from one of the local restaurants and the bartender was taking a personal call on the phone (something about if she had to go to a party or not) and was ignoring me. I finally walked out.

I had a very bad experience in this hotel. I have arrived at 11 p.m. on 09/25/09 to find a woman in the reception area that could not care less about a family of 4 peoples. The first thing she asked me was : Sir, will charge you 25 dollars for vallet parking and if you do not take your car by early morning the next day, we will charge you another 25 dollars. The second thing is: I suppose to take keys for 2 rooms i have reserved. She give me only keys to one room in the 4th floor. I had to go down for the second set of keys , to find out that she give me a room in the 1st floor. Guess how much they charge me for parking my car.....50 dollars. Please, do not use this bad hotel.

There are surprisingly few place to stay in Brooklyn. This is a good one--reasonable price, small but comfortable room, good neighborhood, friendly service, and a pretty good breakfast. With luck you can find onstreet parking but may have to move car rather early in the morning for street cleaning or something (be sure to read the signs).

Staying at this hotel helps on get a glimpse of the real neighborhoods in which New Yorkers live, even up to and including the subway ride into Manhattan. There are many nice restaurants and interesting stores in the area. My only real complaint came when we checked in when the little woman at the desk was brusque about checking me in, muttering something about the computers being down and no rooms being available. Having just endured the train trip in from Boston I was, needless to say, extremely tired and did not appreciate the close to 45 minute wait I had to endure. I also had some problems with getting the TV to work correctly. All in all this is a way to stay in a real hotel room at rates that comparable hotels in Manhattan cannot touch.

Everything about the hotel was wonderful. The staff was went over and above and was very helpful. Though I didn't have time to explore the area, we seemed to be in the middle of a restaraunt and shopping area. The subway was a short walk and convenient.

Felt overall the hotel was in a great location and the room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was that when room was cleaned, no new rolls of toiletpaper were supplied. Had to call the front desk twice.

This hotel was a convenient stay for us as we dealt with a deceased relative's apartment. Tiffany, who is often at the front desk is so pleasant and fun...and Darlene, the bartender was also fun and helpful with an excellent restaurant recommendation...Zio Toto...if you go there have the beet gnocchi...the best ever.

Visiting our daughter who lives in south Brooklyn we wanted a hotel 10 munutes walk from her home. We found the Gregory much pleasanter than we expected and a good friendly base for a 3 day stay. There are local cafes but if you want more touristy restaurants and shops then you will need to get on the R train for a 15 minute ride to central Brooklyn.

this is probably the worst hotel i have ever stayed at, between the needed renovations to getting charged an extra night at the hotel on my credit card for no reason and i left several messages for the manager of the hotel and have yet to hear back from them.

I always stay here...shopping and food great, and the staff is very accommodating. This is one of maybe three hotels in the country that I actually think of as a home away from home, and I stay in over 100 a year.

My recent stay at best Western Gregory was average, The hotel was clean but old and the room was small. But the location is great if you need to stay in "Bay Ridge", The staff was very freindly and helpfull. Parking is tough if you don't need a car use car service.Which the hotel will call.

This hotel has apparently seen better days, but the price-performance ratio is good, the service friendly, and the location convenient. Recommended for business & leisure in the Bay Ridge area.

We were in town for a difficult mission, but we always happy at the end of the day to return to a clean, friendly hotel. The evening staff were particularly nice. The morning breakfast was good: some days hard-boiled eggs, always toast, coffee, muffins, pastry, bagels, cereals and fresh fruit. The room was quiet and the beds comfortable...what more can you ask.

It is close to the train and bus lines. There are plenty of shops around for dining, shopping, etc. It is the only hotel in that part of Brookly and completely worth it.

Beds were nice, breakfast options were plentiful and employees were very helpful The only problem was the traffic though that was more due to it being Black Friday weekend...

the staff were friendly and very helpful-I was surprised-many new yorkers are not helpful

There are not many choices in Brooklyn. The Gregory is in a good location, but there is only "on street" parking, which is minimally available. There is no restaurant, health club or pool. The room was depressingly plain, but adequate.

There are surprisingly few places to stay in Brooklyn--or places where one would want to stay. This is a good one. Room was small, but that's okay. Could be cheaper. Good neighborhood and close to subway. Parking is a problem ($25 overnight) but we found on-street spaces both nights. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Friendly staff.

Quiet and clean

We were in a room directly about the lounge that had loud music into the night. The room smelled like smoke. I won't go back again

A little overpriced,but a great location near shopping and transit.The room could have been cleaner,the bed was very comfortable.The staff was very cordial and answered all questions.I would stay again if price is right.

Juste la machine a glace en face de la chambre(cas de la chambre 318/317)peut deranger ceux qui ont le sommeil leger. Pas de double vitrage aux heures de pointes bruit de l avenue. Mais bon on va pas a new york pour rester dans la chambre. Situé près de la ligne R du MTA.

Freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal. Zimmer ok. Kaffeemaschine ist im Zimmer, grosses TV-Geraet.Internet PC mit freiem Zugang in der Lobby, ansonsten W-LAN
