All was "fine", nothing special. $400+/night seems like a lot to pay for a "fine" room. Several maintenance issues in the room, burned out lightbulbs not replaced' only a partial roll of toilet paper, no second roll; toilet paper roll holder at an angle. Front desk was cordial, helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and enough room for a short stay for 2 people. The bed was firm but WAY TOO BOUNCY. Anytime one person would get in and out of the bed. The other person would go bouncing up in the air. Not good if you are not a very deep sleeper. Also lots of noise from outside, which is to be expected on such a busy street. They only gave you one roll of toilet paper and there was a sharp protrusion from the wall where there should have been a magnifying mirror. The doors are incredibly heavy, there are two sets, and nobody helps you in or out or over opening the door with all your luggage. I was concerned if somebody was elderly how that would work. There’s just one person standing behind the desk and they just watch you struggle. It is a basic no amenity stay.That being said very inexpensive for Brooklyn.
