Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and enough room for a short stay for 2 people. The bed was firm but WAY TOO BOUNCY. Anytime one person would get in and out of the bed. The other person would go bouncing up in the air. Not good if you are not a very deep sleeper. Also lots of noise from outside, which is to be expected on such a busy street. They only gave you one roll of toilet paper and there was a sharp protrusion from the wall where there should have been a magnifying mirror. The doors are incredibly heavy, there are two sets, and nobody helps you in or out or over opening the door with all your luggage. I was concerned if somebody was elderly how that would work. There’s just one person standing behind the desk and they just watch you struggle. It is a basic no amenity stay.That being said very inexpensive for Brooklyn.

Room was very clean. Would have rated a 5 if not for the construction next door, which began promptly at 7 AM. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was limited but adequate.

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.
