The Brooklyn

The pics are very deceiving. There are no amenities and for the rate per night to be what it is I definitely felt bamboozled. The hotel is considerably older which looks like some updates were done however floor in front of the bathroom was sticky. Luckily I was there for a short stay. Location is right outside of the part of Brooklyn where you feel safe. I think I walked past human feces on the ground heading to get something to eat. When I say no amenities that’s what I mean. No kitchen, no bar, no gym. The elevator worked intermittently. The makeup mirror was broken, there was a reading light fixture that was broken, and I had to get creative to get the faucet to stop continuously running. Luckily I only had two bags and was only there for two nights, any longer and I’d be asking for a refund or disputing the charge.

Good value for the price, good option while in the area, very kind staff.

It was a great time there need to go back one more time

The hotel rooms were quite nice. The room was modern, the shower was awesome, the bed was comfortable and I was overall pleased with the hotel. The only things I didn’t like was I had to call to the front desk to get extra towels, soap, bottled waters etc. I stayed for four nights and they didn’t clean the room once. For that length of stay you would expect at least one room cleaning. The staff is super friendly and accommodating but I would have expected a maid to clean the room during my stay The area around the hotel was alright but if you are expecting a Manhattan adjacent hotel do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. It costs at least $60 in cab fare to get from Manhattan to this hotel. If you’re looking for the trendy neighborhoods of Brooklyn adjacent look elsewhere. It cost me $29 in cab fare to get to Williamsburg and $35 to get to Red Hook. If you’re in Brooklyn for a Nets game you might be alright as the Barclays Center is a short cab ride away. All in all this property is nice, the room is nice, the bed is nice, the shower is nice etc but it’s location isn’t adjacent to almost all of the things a NYC tourist wants to see.

This was sufficient for what I needed but I would never stay again. The hotel was barely clean, the elevator was broken, and there was a bad smell in the room the entire time. Not what I would recommend for anyone who wasn’t desperate.

If you are looking for a low cost option that is relatively close to a subway line that will get you where you need to go, then this is a good option. The employees were very nice and the room was big and comfortable...however the tv didn't really work (it would shut itself off and then channels would not work) so that was a little annoying when I was in the room. Also, the elevator was not reliable at all...so I had to take the stairs up and down from the 4th floor...which I didn't love...but I didn't die so I guess all is well.

Didn’t like location, room was roomy hotel not well kept , ask for towels and trash no room service didn’t happen

Hard to sleep with the train constantly running. Elevator was broken and my room was on the third floor.
