    Pretty sure there are only two housekeeping staff and they were really helpful while we were there. However, I think they need to maybe hire more people. The floor doesn't look like it's been vacuumed in a while, and DEFINITELY not mopped this year. My socks were pretty freaking filthy after maaaaybe a couple hours walking around the room. I stayed in a basic room for one night and then moved to a junior suite with friends and the floor was just as dirty.

    Great location, kind staff, and nice-sized rooms. Beds and bathroom were clean.

    There was no real bar/lounge area - seems 1/2 under construction…photos online are not current. The room wasn’t as clean as I would have hoped…we found used plastic wear under chairs, all plugs were out of outlets, and when we went to plug in the plug for our new bedside table and charging station, there were shards of broken glass on the floor all around the table. I don’t believe there had been much vacuuming done in quite some time.

    The room itself was very large and basically comfortable. The hotel seems like at one time it was very well constructed with good materials - windows to quiet outdoor sound, nice tile work in bathrooms, very good room layout, but it seems perhaps the current management isn’t keeping it up. Air conditioning worked well and beds were comfortable. Great to have a mini fridge and microwave in the room.

    The property has really gone down since the last time I stayed there. The toilet ran all night, we had to keep raising the hood to make sure that the tank was filling up properly. The elevator made you feel as if it was going to get stuck between floors. Really not a good bang for the bucks you are charged to stay there.

    The location is great. I have stayed at the Brooklyn before.

    Falling apart, didn’t feel like a quality stay for the money paid.

    Good enough location, not fantastic, but convenient for subway, and train stations. Room was very spacious, and kitchen area was useful.

    The elevator sounded like the cable was about to pop and did not sound safe. The bathroom door would not close at all. There were lamps in the room with no bulbs. Some of the furniture around the hotel was really worn out which was not appealing.

    The room size was more than adequate and spacious.

    Old boiler in the no functioning bar. Elevator is rickety and sketchy and does not have a last date of service posted. Hotel is greedy for money $50 -$100 fee late check-in $50-$100 fee late check out.

    The place was heartless staff was mid. Had to get bed sheets changed at arrival due to staining. Very dusty & stained lamp shades. Rug was torn from final seal plate that meet with the tile.

    The walls were very thin so we could hear the people next door to us. There was no option for breakfast when the website states there is.

    The big suite suited our party very well. And the location for public transport was perfect.

    Bathroom room fixings were all broken.( Sink draining issues, shower knobs didn’t work properly. Beds had unusually small pillows that I’ve never seen before, but were still relatively comfortable. Overall not a bad stay, but definitely not worth $386 for the night

    Location was perfect for the area I was visiting. Room was clean and comfortable.

    The photo here was taken like 10 years ago. Looks weary outdated, the 🚿 was broken, the light on the bathroom was like a trembling, no light on the bathroom sink. We just saw three employees and were at the front desk.

    The bed was comfortable despite the fact that it was on the first floor beside the street and the LIRR it wasn't too loud

    Our room wasn’t clean; debris on the floor, hairs on the bed, & a small insect crawling on the same bed. Very thin walls - did not sleep well on account of our neighbors.

    The staff were great & responsive. The room was a large suite - lots of space.

    being asked to sign the hotel policy document that was barely legible because their printer wasn't working, then having to wait while this "issue" was discussed with her "manager" - poor customer service all round.

    The room was spacious and clean. When I first arrived early in the morning, one staff member was very helpful in helping me store my luggage until my room was available.
