Staying in New York usaually is very expensive but staying in Westway isn't. It's not the best location, but it's very easy to get to Manhattan and other parts of the city for example

Location is rather bad, bus goes only once per hour in the night, no subway. Old, dirty carpet on the floor, comforters seemed old, too. My bed was occupied twice, the other guest had to move to another room. Bathrooms below average. High traffic road in front of the room, so rather noisy.

Most unhelpful staff i ever seen in my life. They charge for internet $2 and its not working at all, and when i come to the desk staff member told me i have to call company that he knows that internet is down and I have to deal with it . He was talking to me with ear phones on while watching movies. This place is terrible better sleep on the street.

Do something about the kitchen! You do not have all the things which should be there. That's very bad...

The hostel is quite far away from metro station. It is really dangerous for girls to walk at night! But the atmosphere is good and it's easy to go to the LGA airport.

I spent 3 days at the hotel La Guardia and was very poorly attended ... The hotel is far from the center of New York, there is nothing that a tourist wants to make the surroundings ... As to value rates deceives us, might as well have spent the whole price at time of booking, so we do not surprise at the time of payment. It has no breakfast and no one can explain anything. And when I'm gone they just wanted me to leave the hotel and neither wanted to call a taxi ...

Everything was fairly good except the lady across the street. I asked the lady at the west way hotel across the street where the kitchen was or how I could get there, and first, she told me to wait while she answered a phone, she talked for about 5 to 10 minutes on the phone, after she finished her phone conversation she rudely yells “what did you want”, I thought she was not talking to me since there was a window in between us and I think she talked too loud, when she made eye contact, she says “well, how

I wonder if the maid forgot to give us a sheet under the blanket or they do not provide it ? Do they wash/change the blanket for each customer ?

Inconvenient location near noisy road and cemetery. When booking on the site does not indicate that surcharged dachshunds, I think this is a clever ploy. Staff is not helpful. If I don't know the English language, it doesn't mean that I don't understand. The kitchen is located just across the street! It is ok? Of pluses only that every day clean bed.

Overall a great value. Relatively clean, in a fairly good area, with a full kitchen and common area. There is not much space in the rooms and the is no storage... not even a place to hang up your coat, but if you travel light you can be ok. The is absolutely no security, but there is a very friendly atmosphere.
