Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed 'patio' rooms, making you feel like you have your little apartment to return to. While the rooms were a bit stuffy, the overall experience was comfortable and cozy. The service was friendly and professional, with lovely gestures like a complimentary bottle of wine and beautiful flower arrangements. The location may be a little off but is convenient for exploring the area, with great transport links nearby. The dining options were easily accessible outside the hotel. The facilities were modern and adequate for a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers a unique room experience, akin to an apartment with high ceilings, though darker than expected during the day, necessitating extra lighting. The service, especially thanks to Jonathan, was exceptional, going above and beyond to assist with various needs. The location provides easy access to the subway system and a vibrant neighborhood with interesting shops and eateries, making it enjoyable to explore. The dining options are varied, especially outside the hotel, complementing the experience. However, the room itself has some shortcomings, and for a Manhattan visit, the neighborhood lacks some attractions.
Staying in this Brooklyn hotel was like crashing at a very chill, but very clean friend's apartment. The rooms were fantastic, giving us the space and amenities we needed to whip up our own breakfast or dinner. The service was top-notch, especially accommodating my need for a quiet room due to being a light sleeper. The location, while not the absolute best in Brooklyn, was still excellent with easy access to the subway and plenty of stores and dining options. The dining experience was delightful, especially enjoying classic fried fish in the comfort of our room. Overall, a cozy stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel provided us with a homey and spacious room, which was a delight to return to after a day out. The warmth of the room made our stay truly comfortable, feeling more like a personal apartment than a standard hotel room. However, the hotel may not be as well-known as other parts of New York City.
The hotel rooms were much bigger than expected, resembling a one-bedroom apartment feel. However, facing the main road caused some noise at night. The service was somewhat erratic with towel changes but overall kind and attentive. The hotel's location was perfect, offering convenient access to eateries and shopping without the noise. The dining options were acceptable, especially considering the surrounding alternatives.
The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms that feel more like an apartment than a typical New York hotel room. The service is extremely helpful and welcoming, with friendly and professional staff arranging special touches like a beautiful flower arrangement and complimentary wine. The location is great with easy access to the subway and various amenities, although a bit far from Fort Green. The dining options are versatile, especially with many nearby dining spots. Overall, a delightful stay with some minor location inconveniences.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were large and well-appointed, offering ample comfort. The service was exceptional, with incredibly kind and professional staff who went out of their way to make my short stay memorable. The location was convenient, close to my family's residence and near great dining options. The dining experience was satisfactory due to the variety of nearby restaurants. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
