We love this hotel because of its great location in Brooklyn and the ease of access to Manhattan. The room was a little bigger than most and we enjoyed sitting in the room working. It was quiet and the A/C worked well so we had a good sleep. The breakfast was fine and the staff were extremely helpful. We will be back

Nice location. Our room was on the backside and was spacious and very quiet. Very good mattress and plenty of room to organize your stuff for five day stay. Highly functional bathroom with good space for toiletries. Good lobby coffee. Nothing fancy but it does strong job providing the basics for a Brooklyn stay-better than big chains
