Best Western Plus Of Johnson City

This is the only hotel that I have ever stayed at that I had problems with the Internet. Been here 2 hours and still cannot get connected. I called their internet support line half hour ago and still haven’t had this problem resolved.

Everything at this hotel is completely middle-​of-​the-​road, nothing more or less.
The morning breakfast, quality of service and caliber of bedroom materials are all merely functional. I do not have anything to complain about on those fronts. Neither will you if you adjust your expectations properly.
This location does have a relationship with the nearby gym, whose services you can use if you are staying with this hotel. I liked this, because it afforded you the opportunity to work out in a larger setting without having to pay any extra for it.
The hotel is also situated nearby the highway as well as some shopping and fast food franchises, which work in its favor. One drawback is the parking lot, which is rather desolate and given to flooding after inclement weather.

It’s been 2 or 3 years since I stayed in this Best Western. It is better than it used to be. Bang for the buck, it works well.
Pro’s:
* Price.
* Proximity: Close to the highway so you can get anywhere very quickly.
* Cleanliness: Room did not have the over-​powering, gagging smell of cleaner (some housekeepers call it «scent») that a lot of hotels have. That’s my biggest pet peeve so I was happy to be able to breathe in my room.
* They provide shampoo AND conditioner. Some hotels have given up on the conditioner to save money. Like that’ll put them in the black. Conditioner.
* There is a small refrigerator and microwave in each room.
* There is an on-​site lounge (I don’t use it but that’s cool for a small hotel)
* Across the parking lot from a gym… but please see the Con’s list on that.
Con’s:
* The Wi-​Fi seems really bad. Weak and intermittent signal; extremely slow data rates. I talked to someone at the desk about it and was told this issue has been brought up with the management team over and over for years and years. They have one channel coming in and insufficient support within the building. Later, I talked to the manager and he said that was the wrong answer and showed me the «Guest Services» list on the back of your tri-​fold that they give you with you room keys. If you’re having an issue with the Wi-​Fi, there is phone number you can dial to get help. They can go as far as to log into your computer remotely and check the compatibility between your anti-​virus software and their server software. That still wouldn’t help the poor signal strength, I think.
* The gym (Court Jester): Don’t believe what a previous reviewer noted. This gym is an archaic dump that I’m surprised hasn’t been condemned. None of the weight equipment is secured, there are holes in the floor that are simply covered with rubber matting, the lockers are so ancient, you can’t fit most modern locks on them and nothing is maintained (frayed cables, etc). I’ll give a separate review of that.
* The shower was surrounded by old nasty tile that is barely held to the rotting walls behind them but who cares?! They didn’t keep me from taking a perfectly fine shower and really, that’s like my only concern? For the $ 89/​night I paid during a week when all of the hotels are booked solid due to a SUNY Binghamton event, then I’ll take it!
One last thing — I strongly recommend NOT eating at the nearby Friendly’s. My God that place is disgusting! I was sick all night from their food. Thought a rabbit was going to come out of my butt.

Wifi is terrible!!! It’s 2015… figure it out. Also we were put in room 112 right next to the laundry room. We not only could hear the machines but everything the cleaning ladies were saying.

Driving back from ny and try to sleep one nite. Book through from hotwire. We got there 3am in the morning and so much sleepy. Receptionist just give us key the room in 4fl. We went there and thats was smoking room. We need to back and ask for another room. He gave us room 114. Everything looks alright until 7am. We dont have enough sleep yet and just woke up by strange noices. No wonder laundry room for all hotel bedding n sheets. Start working by hotel staff. Breakfast is free staff. No complain. Just stay away from 1fl 114.

Booked through priceline and it had a better rate than Best Western rewards website. Random weekend in March, $ 68 a night and with breakfast so I’ll take it.
Rooms were clean and spacious enough, two queen beds, some powdered eggs and crappy bacon in the AM but hey, it was included and it helped to sop up the beer I later drank at Parade Day with the SUNY kiddles.
Location is right in the heart of food, shopping and other hotels so I mean you have a choice and its not even 5 minutes away from the university. There is also a gym that has a joint contract with Best Western so you can go and use the full facility with weight rooms, courts, big pool and locker rooms have hot tub/​sauna/​steam room combo which was perfect after a long day.
Oh and don’t forget Wegmans! that place rules! and two liquor stores basically across the street. Bingo.
One thing to note: if you are a light sleeper, the walls here are paper thin. I was up for 2 hours listen to mofos open and close their doors. I dont think they were purposely slamming them, but thats what it sounded like bc it was friggin loud as hell! Beds are on the soft side too.

Decent room for the price. A lot of space to spread out and get work done. Would definitely stay here again when I am back in the Binghamton Area

The final leg of a whirlwind road trip really takes a toll on you! Thank heavens Best Western Plus provided some comfort for the weary… me! This hotel is moderately priced, very clean and comfortable, and has a nice seating area for their continental breakfast the next day. They have a little lounge room where there are two computers and some comfy couches to relax and watch TV if you don’t feel like staying in your own room. As other Unilocalers have noted there is a fitness center next door with a pool which hotel guests are allowed to use since the hotel itself doesn’t have one – big plus on that one. As for their continental breakfast it consisted of the normal scrambled eggs made from powder, generic bacon, make-​your-​own waffles, cereal, etc. Nothing too fancy but not bad either. Now for those of you who have stayed this long reading this review you’re going to be rewarded. On the night of my stay the Toronto Blue Jay’s minor league team was having a game the next day. The team stayed at this hotel. I got to meet some of the players (some in the hotel others at the McDonald’s next door) and my lil’ nephew was even able to get an actual game ball from one of the players. These guys were so cool. And here’s the kicker. When I asked the hotel reception if they’ve ever had another sports team stay at the place they said many minor leagues stay at the hotels during the season. You heard that right a lot of teams stay at this place. Who knows if you stay here you might get to know the next star in the MLB and then you can tell all your friends about how you had breakfast with the next Mr. 3000!

Perfectly fine hotel… clean, good location, and free hot breakfast and internet. Our rate was very good as well. It’s located in the same parking lot as a Friendlys, Dunkin Donuts and Ground Round and across the street from a mall.

Booked through Hotwire, and got a pretty good deal. I stayed at a couple of 2 star and 2.5 star hotels in the area, and this was a lot better than the others.
It was clean, and the rooms were a nice size. Furniture seem pretty new.
Lots of places to eat and shop nearby. There’s a Friendly’s in front and Ground Round behind the hotel. And Dunkin Donuts is right on the side.

Stayed here one night. No complains other then the slow drain in the tub. Close to the highway and lots of restaurants close by

Stayed here for 5 nights and over all it was decent. The rooms were clean enough and the bed wasn’t completely awful. Unfortunately though our fridge did not work and also beware of the complimentary breakfast as they put left overs out repeatedly for days at a time. (We encountered mold on the bagels/​english muffins a few times)

It is what it is. It’s not the Four Seasons, but it will give you a clean, basic room with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We stayed here for one night after our flight from Binghamton airport was cancelled. Flipped a coin between this place and the La Quinta that shares its parking lot. The bed was a little too soft, but otherwise I have no complaints when it comes to the room. I always appreciate a free breakfast. The texture of the eggs and sausage were a little weird, but I liked the make-​your-​own waffles. The thing that surprised me the most in the morning was seeing was the huge cemetery next to the motel (we didn’t notice it at night)!

Large, comfortable well equipped room. Close to mall and numerous restaurants. What’s not to like about this motel?

I really enjoyed my stay at the Best Western in Johnson City, NY (minus the fact that there was a sprawling cemetery behind it, but this cannot be avoided since Johnson City & all neighboring towns are all surrounded by cemeteries). The rooms were clean and comfortable, hotel staff were very nice & friendly and breakfast is complimentary as well (eggs, bacon, oatmeal, coffee, tea, make-​your-​own waffles, cereal, juices, muffins, bagels, pastries). Everything is close by too (and when I say close, I mean these are the things you see if you just look outside your window): Wegman’s, Friendly’s, Burger King, Macy’s, Taco Bell and so much more.
Also, they have a Court Jester fitness center facility that is about 50 steps away from the hotel and they have updated fitness equipment, pool, indoor track, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi.

Brand new breakfast area with brand new hot breakfast items!!! Brand new queen and king beds!!!
My favorite place to stay in the Binghamton area!

Bed was uncomfortable and the air-​conditioning was VERY noisy. On a good note, they handled a very large group with grace. In the end the staff was the only saving grace of this hotel.
