The hotel had no hot water when we stayed at the end of December. The hotel could have emailed to inform guests but did not -- only telling guest upon check in. Compensation was just a waiver of the $28 resort fee. Will never stay at this hotel again.

I was disappointed in the experience of this hotel for the price point. The TVs did not work for the first 3 nights of my stay. The shower flooded the bathroom floor upon use every time. The hotel promised to reimburse some expenses due to the TV issues they had. However they have not followed through and are no longer responding. I think there are better hotel options for the rates they are charging. Would not choose to stay here again.

both nu Brooklyn and Expedia can jump in the lake. There waa a small mistake in the booking Instead of attempting to correct it, Nu Brooklyn and Expedia dug their heels in and did not attempt to help. They lost a great customer. Short sided front desk and poor customer service. They can take a long walk off a short pier !!!!!!

Wonderful stay. Rooms are lovely, clean and quiet (aside from the slamming doors of other rooms but that seems to happen in every hotel now?). Everyone on staff was super nice and helpful. The "resort fee" feels like a strange scam—an obligatory $25 surcharge each day for not great breakfast and very weak/intermittent WiFi—but the price per night and general stay of the hotel was truly great.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was not properly cleaned upon arrival. There was a small towel left on the shower curtain bar, and a used room key inside an open drawer. One of the nightstand has no power. Breakfast has limited selection and often crowded. Otherwise the stay was passable, which is quite an extraordinary thing to say, given how much they charge.

Staff lied about the breakfast offerings. The amenities promised for a mandatory $25/day were not provided: no free prosecco pour on arrival, no slippers in the room, no Brooklyn Pass. With the rudeness, unfriendliness, and mandatory fee without providing the amenities I will not be staying here again.

Clean room, but Spartan. Breakfast limited and not great quality. Little help offered or available when breakfast items ran low. Check in staff good. Front foyer area a bit run down. Bedding of questionable quality, duvet very stained.

Front desk very helpful and friendly, especially the smiley man on during the weekday. Loved using the free bikes. Great location. I guess I needed to tell housekeeping if I wanted them. No one ever came for 3 days, but then again I didn't ask for them. Ran out of tp the last day, but were leaving.
