Best Western Fort Lee is a 3-star hotel set just off I-95 in Fort Lee, New Jersey, roughly 10 miles from both MetLife Stadium and Midtown Manhattan. The property offers traditional rooms with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, desks, coffeemakers, and minifridges, while upgraded rooms add pull-out sofas and/or in-room whirlpool tubs, and suites include separate sitting areas. On-site services include a complimentary continental breakfast, a fitness center, a business center, and free parking. Its location gives easy access to the New York City skyline across the Hudson, with major attractions such as Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art all within about 9 to 10 kilometers. Farther-flung Manhattan icons like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, and the High Line are also reachable, generally within a 20 to 25 minute drive. The hotel's straightforward, no-frills style and highway-adjacent setting make it a practical base for travelers prioritizing proximity to New York City over on-site luxury.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious travelers and road-trippers who want a base near I-95 with easy driving access to Manhattan attractions and MetLife Stadium, both about 10 miles away. The combination of free parking, free continental breakfast, and a fitness center also appeals to those who want practical, no-frills conveniences without big-city hotel prices.
Travel tips
Since the hotel sits off I-95 outside Manhattan, plan on driving or arranging transit into the city, as most major landmarks like Times Square and the Empire State Building are 10+ miles away. Guests traveling with heavy luggage should note that some rooms are accessed via stairs, so pack light or ask about ground-floor availability. Free on-site parking makes this a convenient option for those arriving by car rather than public transit.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the staff as friendly, supportive, and efficient with reservations, and many highlight the convenient location and free parking as strong points. On the downside, recurring complaints center on the building's age and maintenance issues, including reports of a leaking air conditioning unit and general upkeep concerns in rooms. Several reviewers also mention the inconvenience of navigating stairs to reach rooms, particularly with luggage, and at least one review pointed to dissatisfaction with how management handled a maintenance complaint. Overall sentiment splits between appreciation for service and location versus frustration with the physical condition of the property.
