At almost $500 per night (mid-October rates), this hotel was waaaay overpriced. It was a very budget experience at premium prices. Nothing here was a show stopper, but there were a number of annoying things: there was some confusion at check-in (I booked two rooms under my name for my whole family, but they needed my brother to be there in person even though I was paying), the room with 2 double beds was barely big enough for my family of 4 to walk around in with our luggage, the bathroom sink was loose, one day we found a blood stain on the bedsheets, and at check out we were told valet would take an hour. Staff was friendly, cleaners were great, but next time I'm either going upgrade or finding somewhere further out and much cheaper.

The sauna and hot tub weren't working which I only found out when I got there. Overall the room felt a bit in need of TLC... The early checkin fee was $75 :( Other than that, very friendly staff and great location.

The front desk staff demonstrated exceptional kindness. The only drawback was that our room key ceased to function after two uses, particularly upon returning to the property after an excursion, at which point we would find our key deactivated, rendering us unable to access our room. We were compelled to revisit the front desk to obtain a replacement key. Furthermore, I observed that foot traffic in the hallway and the constant opening and closing of doors were audible. Additionally, I would like to note that we requested extra towels and sanitizer wipes from housekeeping, but unfortunately, they were not provided, prompting us to make a purchase. Conveniently, a dry cleaning service is located down the street from the hotel, and a five-minute walk will take you to CVS, Whole Foods, Apple, Target, Trader Joe's, and Atlantic Avenue, which features a plethora of boutiques, restaurants, grocery shopping, and Walgreens, as well as additional nearby dining options. Notably, the property is within walking distance to NYU Brooklyn Campus, Fort Greene, DUMBO, and the Brooklyn library. We particularly enjoyed Black Seed Bagel breakfast bagel sandwiches, and the location is convenient to the Hoyt - Schermerhorn, Fulton St, Borough Hall, Nevins St, and Hoyt St Subway stations. Elevators were so slow and the property is pet friendly. Downtown Brooklyn is highly pedestrian-friendly and accommodating to families and pets. We felt secure exploring the area. Hope this feedback was helpful.

I used to love staying at this hotel. After my most recent stay. It will be my last! Let’s start with the staff. Not welcoming at all. I get it’s NY but this staff is ice cold. Next I book a double bed room for 3 and there is one wash cloth in the room and one roll of tissue. I called down for more and was told I could come get them or wait on delivery but It I wait she specified she could not tell me even a ballpark for when I was would get the items that should have been in my room at check in. Next the room is not clean and it’s clear who prepped it did not show care. There was hair in the bathroom. The walls are dirty everywhere. I see housekeeping coming up one day on the elevator and all the towels are being brought upstairs on the floor. No cart to carry these things??? Unfortunately I can’t cancel the room without loosing a significant portion of my money so I’ll deal with. Again I used to love this place. Location wise it’s great but beyond that it’s a 1 star worth about $100 bucks a night at best. Updated review. My room has bed bugs. I reported this to the hotel and the gentlemen insisted I speak with the manager after 7. I spoke with Masani, the manager and she was not helpful at all. The first thing she said was “technically there is nothing I can do.” Her demeanor was rude and she appeared irritated that I even followed up with her about it.

When I checked in on Saturday evening, around 9 PM, there were two great guys at the front desk – very polite, helpful, and welcoming. Unfortunately, this was the only positive part of my entire stay. From that same evening onward, the service completely collapsed. Calling the front desk from my room was a nightmare. Out of five calls, four times they simply picked up and hung up without saying a single word. When I tried calling the restaurant or the bar, nobody ever answered. It was absolutely impossible to reach anyone by phone, which is shocking for a hotel. The jacuzzi was another disaster. The water was cold, dirty, and clearly broken. When I asked staff about it, I got three completely different answers: one said he didn’t know, another promised it would work in an hour, and a third admitted it was broken and would take two days for a repair. Meanwhile, it remained unusable the entire time. This hotel completely failed in basic service. I left angry, frustrated, and extremely disappointed. Definitely NOT recommended.
