Lucinda

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
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.

Friendly staff and great location

This is a a suitable, reasonable hotel in a great location. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Wish the food options were better - they have a small menu 5-10pm through a 3rd party and a very basic free breakfast every morning. The bed was a bit uncomfortable but served its purpose. Would stay there again when looking for a money saving option.

Best in Brooklyn

Very comfortable hotel with friendly staff. Delicious free breakfast. This was our second stay and we will definitely return again. The location is perfect even with the construction across the street.
