Positive: Convenient location near downtown Brooklyn attractions. Easy access to public transit. Clean and well-kept hotel, no frills but comfortable. Coffee maker and mini-fridge in the room, and a free grab-and-go breakfast. Mostly recommended for solo travelers, the rooms are really small and wouldn't be ideal for families.

Negative: I don't really have any complaints. The rooms are very small, but that's to be expected.

Summary: Handy hotel near Downtown Brooklyn & public transit. Best for solo travelers.
