I liked the safety of having a door code for my room and to enter the building. The check-in process was very streamlined. The room itself was ok, I wish there had been a safe and a bigger fridge. The desktop fridge wasn't even big enough for a water bottle and wasn't cold at all. The room smelled kinda funky most of the time even once the trash was removed.

Sink design and location outside bathroom made it impossible to wash face or brush teeth without getting floor, self completely wet. Tiny room with 12” of space on side and end of bed. No where to store luggage. Not set up for two people or one person with more than a small backpack. Loud noises from water or plumbing in middle of night woke us. Good shampoos, etc and helpful locker service for early bag drop. Friendly staff. Good location convenient to restaurants, etc. yet quiet.

The vibes of this place were immaculate! The room was small but I didn’t mind. The hotel was very clean and quiet. They do not offer a lot of amenities but since I was only there for two nights, it was fine. Definitely in a great location, there were plenty of restaurants and shopping places within walking distance. I would stay here again.

It is a good location right next to Park Slope and near the subway. The condition of the rooms could be better looked after and more attention to detail. It was difficult to use the sink in the bathroom due to the shelf just above it.

We stayed here for two nights and we loved it. There were minor things that could be considered annoying such as the spout being too long for the actual sink in the restroom but it was nothing that would keep me from rebooking. We were able to come and go as we pleased. It was pretty clean and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is in a great location for accessing New York City. The room was reasonable size for New York and comfortable. My two complaints would be 1. There is no accessible restroom if you arrive prior to check-in. 2. Billing: I prepaid for my room and was charged the full amount again when I checked in again when I was checked out. Have been told it will be five business days before I can have a refund of my $3500.

It felt a bit worn down. The sink was oddly placed and led to a lot of water dripping on the floor when washing hands or face. Overall ok, but wouldn't choose to stay there again.
