They made the best effort to leave me In the same room Even if i made 5 booking in two weeks The shared room are super comfortable and its incredible how silent they are! Not used to it in an hostel. A big Plus is that the staff will really do anything to help you! If you are looking for a friendly vibe place where problems are not an issue, this is your place! Big thanks to the team! Close to the subway and many tourists places but very local

It was great but the only flaw it had was the TV won’t connect to the WiFi so the TV was basically unusable but besides that it was great

Good stay
Clean little hotel but the proximity with the highway makes the noise unberrable. Bring Ear plugs to be able to sleep. The hotel has no parking. Security is tight though. New sheets are needed.

I stayed here for over 3 days and the entire staff have been really wonderful and catered carefully to my concerns. The on the go breakfast is such a great touch ! This area is also filled with both walking and driving distance of less than 10 min restaurants, cafes and bars. I personally met the manager Sam who is very patient and hands on at this hotel. The area also has public transportation within walking distance which is also very helpful. I truly appreciate my stay and definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

They urgently need: A good Housekeeping manager, the rooms are not clean. They need pest control, there are cockroaches. I hope they do it right very soon.

This hotel is in a sketchy noisy area, literally screaming and banging in the middle of the night. But worse for me was how dirty the thotel on was. It looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in ages. Stains on the walls, shower flower was filthy, bathroom was dirty, bugs in the room. No thanks.
Lynn, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Check in delayed due to computer issues. Found silverfish in sink and shower. No chair in room. Can only sit on bed. No clothes hanging capability and no dresser. Water in evening only Luke warm. Ok in morning. Coffee maker missing coffee holder part. 10 lanes of traffic outside my window and not good sound insulation. Cold in front of window. Would never stay there again!!!

4/10 Fair

There was dried paint all around the room including the counters, floor, and curtains. Some of the sink paint was gone by the end, just from washing our hands. The counter had sharpie on it. There were dead bugs in the light fixtures, but thankfully no bugs on the floor, bed, etc! That was the only reason we stayed. The staff are polite, but we had an odd first night where the guy took us up to our room to "make sure nobody was in there"???? What does that mean? It was 9pm... It was less than 10 mins walk to the train and there's lots to see around the hotel. Fine to stay if you're on a budget, but if you can afford it then definitely choose somewhere else in Brooklyn!
Teraya, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

We were shocked when we walked into the lobby. The web pictures are very different than reality. Our room was wicked small, very noisy from traffic outside. We took the desk chair and put it upside down over the nightstand to give us more room to get around bed to go to the bathroom. The bed frame stuck out beyond the mattress and we were afraid we were going to cut our leg.the bathroom was small, the shower smelled like mold and there was no hot water. The black & white tile in the hallway was not pleasing, soothing or attractive. Breakfast was lame. Tea bags would have been nice. Maybe when the renovation is complete some of this will improve. We were in 204.

Find somewhere, anywhere else to stay!
Very disappointing. The hotel was so hot I drank over 24 ounces of water and got up 3 times to run cold water over my wrists to get through the night. Thermostat in the room was a joke. Instead of the breakfast promised they gave a brown bag with a granola bar, potato chips, 2 cookies, peanut butter crackers, and a bottle of apple juice that had been opened! The desk clerk could not answer my question about whether parking across the street from the entrance was legal. I had to track down a staff person to find a chair for the desk. Cleaning supplies and boxes cluttered hallways. Take this one off your list!

4/10 Fair

Loud and inconvenient
This hotel is such an obvious money grab, it's hilarious. From the bathroom "barn door" that doesn't close, to the big gaudy TV with no on switch or remote. I don't think I slept more than an hour because I could hear every door slam as well as a loud chirp in the hallway. Normally I would drown out any hotel noises with some TV, but again- no remote or on switch for the TV. The bathroom was gross and there was electrical tape on the light in the shower which didn't feel safe. Thank god I traveled alone, because if I tried using the bathroom with a partner in the bedroom- our relationship would have reached a new level of intimacy as you could hear everything going on in the bathroom since the door isn't actually a door (imagine a piece of cardboard on wheels in front of the bathroom door)

Don't waste your time/money staying here! It ruined our first trip to NYC. We had to find different accommodations because the property was extremely disappointing. We checked in and within seconds of opening the room door we seen 5 cockroaches. We immediately took our luggage to the lobby and requested another room. We were showed 4 other available rooms on a different floor but we were still finding roaches. Out of the five rooms only one "seemed" to not have any roaches but we were wrong. We had to clean out the fridge and found a dead cockroach and mold in the freezer. The shower floor was very dirty and we also cleaned it but still didn’t use it. It was very late when we checked in and the manager wasn't available to request a refund till the next morning. The very short one night stay was the most uncomfortable night ever and it was difficult to get rest thinking of the cockroaches. We didn't even want to unzip our luggage just because we didn't want any nymph or adult cockroaches to crawl into our luggage. With little to no sleep, I called Orbitz the moment I knew the manager of the hotel would be in that following morning and requested that we check out and a refund for our stay. The manager wanted to only refund the remaining nights but later agreed to refund the one night stay as well. I had explained that I had over 20 pictures of all the roaches we had seen. The worst of worst was when I seen I had a nymph cockroach on the bedsheets were I had tried to sleep.
