    Comfortable Stay with Helpful Amenities

    We had a lovely one-night stay in the Twin Room with Two Twin Beds, perfect for our family. The bed was cozy, and while we wished for more coffee supplies and a night lamp, the cleaning staff was very accommodating. Don't miss the onsite restaurant. the breakfast was delicious!

    comfortable stay with room for improvement

    The bed in our twin room provided a very comfortable night's sleep, ideal for a family with children. We appreciated the ease of street parking, making our arrival stress-free.

    The hotel needs a little updating.

    The bed was super comfortable! 😍 But the room felt pretty cramped. Could have used a few more amenities, like better toiletries.

    limited space

    We loved our stay! The room was clean and perfect for our family with babies. Parking was straightforward, and we enjoyed a lovely family outing to one of Brooklyn's finest craft beer makers nearby. The beds were super comfortable too!

    My children wished for a bit more space to move around comfortably.

    relaxing pool
    noisy guests

    Checked in for two nights and really enjoyed the comfy double room and the relaxing vibe by the pool. It was nice to unwind with some yoga classes while sipping on free coffee from the lobby. The only downside was a few noisy guests, but it didn’t ruin my overall chill experience! 🌞

    Tiny rooms make moving around a hassle. Cleanliness standard was decent, but I found mold near the window. Proximity to the subway makes it convenient to explore the city.

    comfortable bed
    clean room
    room updates needed
    missing communal spaces
    small room size

    The stay was marked by a very comfortable bed in a clean Twin Room with Two Twin Beds. Street parking proved to be easy, which was a major plus. However, the room showed signs of needing updates and repairs to fixtures. While the location felt safe and the area had good transport and dining options, the absence of communal spaces in the hotel was a downside.
