    My stay was awesome for the price. The location was great, near to old downtown Brooklyn, a subway station and train stations and good food, in an industrial area. It was a short walk to El Pollito Mexicano, where you can have dinner...

    Comfortable Stay with Helpful Amenities

    The bed was cozy, and while we wished for more coffee supplies and a night lamp, the cleaning staff was very accommodating. Don't miss the onsite restaurant. The breakfast was delicious!

    comfortable stay with room for improvement

    The bed in our twin room provided a very comfortable night's sleep, ideal for a family with children. We appreciated the ease of street parking.

    The hotel needs a little updating.

    Hot water and cleaning

    The walls are made of ceiling. You can hear everything... in one night we couldn't sleep because of the noises in the room on the side.

    reliable wi-fi
    accommodating staff

    The room was small but clean and efficient for my business needs. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable. The front desk staff were accommodating and assisted in setting up my presentation materials. The location was also convenient for meetings, with easy access to public transport.

    clean hotel and very friendly staff. As for the location, better than expected, quiet place 2 blocks from the Subway, with several bars and restaurants a few blocks away and best, Chinese food that is one block away.

    The room is smaller than one would think, there's no room to leave the bags.. No one in the hotel speaks Spanish, even though the hotel description states otherwise.

    comfortable bed
    limited amenities

    The bed was super comfortable 😍 But the room felt pretty cramped. Could have used a few more amenities, like better toiletries.

    Well located 2 blocks from Union St (essential to move around the city)

    Very small piece

    The enormous king-size bed and the no-frills decor. Breakfast down the road was great.

    There were no bedside lights. So the light in the bedroom was either on or off. The lobby... Well, there was no lobby, just a tiny desk. A slightly larger entrance area would be more welcoming.
