Worst hotel ever. Within 24 hours I needed 4 new key cards to enter my room having to go up and down the stairs in frustration since the elevator is the slowest in the city. NO hot water, no TV (the few channels I did have dissapeared for good the 2nd day) Trash pickups at 11pm. I'll stop here by saying I left a day early w/out asking for a refund just to get out.

The staff are very nice and helpful; however, the property is located next to a very busy and noisy highway. Also the cleanliness is questionable there was hair left in the shower from a previous guest and the shower floor has crud on it. The water pressure is quite low on the 4th floor.

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.

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.

In my opinion, this hotel is not ready to be open yet. I stayed only one night and was supposed to stay for four. My door had children’s stickers on the outside, which isn’t bad, just weird. When I first entered my room, it was freezing, I thought the window was open. It wasnt, but the windows are paper thin, and the air conditioner was on in Dec. The room was also missing a hairdryer and the phone wasn’t working, so I had to go down and ask for one. My room also had no chair. The biggest concern was that there were some very weird stains in the carpet and the curtains. I don’t think housekeeping does a thorough job. The bed looked clean, so it was fine for one night, but I checked out the next day. Did not want to even look at another room because I saw recent reviews mentioning roaches. Finally, there were no safes to store valuables, and no signs indicating whether you wanted housekeeping for Do Not Disturb, so if I was staying multiple days and wasn’t in the room, housekeeping would have come in whether I wanted it or not! The only reason I’m not rating this hotel as poor is that the staff was nice and accommodating (aside from calling to ask when I was checking in, which was a Bit weird) and refunded my remaining three nights without trouble. I hope this hotel can get its act together.

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!

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.

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!
