Best Western Gregory Hotel

Best Western Gregory Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Honestly, when I first pulled up to the Best Western Gregory Hotel on 4th Avenue, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a three-star property in Brooklyn. But it won me over pretty quickly. There’s something grounded and unpretentious about the place — it doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and that’s actually refreshing. The staff were welcoming right from the start, and you could tell this wasn’t just a transactional check-in situation.

Location & Neighborhood

The hotel sits in the Bay Ridge neighborhood of Brooklyn, which — if you haven’t spent time there — is one of those areas that still feels like a real New York neighborhood. You’ve got local restaurants, coffee shops, and a genuine community vibe that you just don’t get in the more touristy parts of the city. Couples especially seem to love it here, and I get why — it’s walkable, relaxed, and feels a bit removed from the chaos of Manhattan without being disconnected from it. The R train is nearby, so getting into the city is straightforward enough.

The Room

Rooms are clean, well-maintained, and honestly more comfortable than you might expect at this price point. Nothing over-the-top, but everything works — the bed is decent, the AC does its job, and the bathroom is tidy. I mean, it’s a three-star hotel, so you’re not going to get a spa bathtub, but for a Brooklyn base camp it does the job well. The fact that so many guests come back repeatedly says something real about the consistency here.

Breakfast

Breakfast is one of those things that can make or break a stay, and the Gregory actually puts in the effort. There’s a buffet setup with American and continental options, plus gluten-free choices — which, if you travel with dietary restrictions, you know is not always a given at smaller hotels. There’s even a grab-and-go option if you’ve got an early train to catch or a full day of sightseeing ahead. It’s not a gourmet spread, but it’s solid and it sets you up well for the day.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to the Best Western Gregory Hotel — and there are genuinely more repeat guests here than at most comparable properties — is the combination of a well-rated location and a staff that seems to actually care. The location score from recent guests sits at 8.5, which is high for Brooklyn, and couples in particular rate it even more favorably. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying in a real part of New York, not just passing through a generic hotel corridor. If you want a reliable, no-nonsense base in Brooklyn with a neighborhood feel and a breakfast that won’t disappoint, this is a solid pick.

Best hotels in New York blend rooftop terraces, chef-driven tasting menus, and skyline spa sanctuaries.
