New York: There Will Be a President Inside The New Best Western in NYC

MsRebecca — 2009-09-21T11:13:57-05:00

When we received a tip that the newly renovated President Hotel in New York would be re-opening on October 5, we thought, “Huh? What is the President Hotel?” We’ve been so focused on the fancy new hotels opening in Manhattan in the coming months that we forgot about the humble little Best Western in Times Square.

Starting today, Best Western begins their "<a href="http://www.bestwestern.com/programs/countdowntosavings.asp">Countdown to Savings</a>" promo. Starting today and running through Friday, September 18, BW is offering daily deals on select cities, each weekday
