Book 85 St. Forest Parkway Station hotels

My room itself was mostly fine — appreciated having a fridge and microwave — but the hallways and common spaces were so unpleasant. Blasting club remixes even at 1AM, weed smell so intense that I wondered if people were smoking *in the halls* rather than in their rooms, people standing right outside my door and yelling up the hall for extended conversations since I was near the elevator. If you go in expecting a hostel-like experience for an atypically low rate for Brooklyn, I think this would make sense, but I was tired and a little sick coming straight off a business trip on the other side of the country. I was hoping for a similar experience to other budget but still "normal" hotels in the neighborhood, and didn't get it.

Muy buena atención

The sky view was lovely, especially seeing the sun rise.

Convenient location

Es cerca del aeropuerto, pero el área era bastante sucia y peligrosa. Para una noche está bien, tomando en consideración la cercanía al JFK, no obstante la ventilación y el calor nos impidieron dormir. Las áreas comunes estaban frescas, pero el aire acondicionado en los cuartos no servía. Me hubiera quedado en una zona más segura y aunque hubiese tenido que levantarme más temprano para ir al aeropuerto hubiésemos dormido mejor. No volvería y la noche costó más de 200 dólares, nada económico.

The room had a really weird, kind of toxic smell to it. I'm not sure if they just had an exterminator in, or if they regularly spray chemicals to disinfect the room or something, but I do not think it was healthy for me to be breathing in whatever was lingering in that room. It made me quite nauseous and made it difficult to be in the space. The window was also cut in two by a big slat of wall, so there was a weird barred window quality, with a sliver of window at the top and bottom, but most of the window replaced by wall. It is one of the cheapest accommodation options, but still quite expensive for what you get. If you can afford it, I'd pay a bit more for somewhere else.
