Paul Dec 22, 2025 10:09:07 PM

Summary: The room is very small but we were expecting that. The water took a long time to get warm/hot. The hotel is a bit noisy, but we brought earplugs. They advertised that they served breakfast but there was no breakfast offered. Luckily there are plenty of good food options nearby. It's a decent place to stay if you're not planning on spending any time at the hotel except to sleep.

Jill Dec 20, 2025 01:47:27 AM

Summary: Room was very clean.

Emma Ruth Dec 18, 2025 01:20:09 AM

Summary: Room was slightly dirty, didn’t look like some areas weren’t cleaned. Sink drained very slowly. Walls were thin, someone was up late talking very loudly and kept us up. Lots of too storage, a closet, and drawers under the bed. Hair dryer in the room and a tv.

David Dec 8, 2025 06:35:00 AM

Summary: Just the minimum standard. Room was super small (no trim for a chair - could hardly walk around the bed) and condition was bare bones. Hallway reeked of pot smoking and there was some random hammering late into the night

Nathan Nov 24, 2025 02:08:45 AM

Summary: Room was unsafe and maintenance on the room was poor. Location in relation to Barclays Center was convenient.

James Nov 15, 2025 10:52:13 AM

Summary: Room was a little bit rough and lacked enough electrical outlets for me to charge my photo gear. But it was okay for a quick sleep on a work trip. A reading lamp bedside would be a big improvement and one more electrical outlet maybe near the bedside?

Michal Nov 15, 2025 02:07:08 AM

Summary: Friendly staff, clean, super small Room 1 foot bigger than a bed.

Sarah Nov 3, 2025 12:04:23 AM

Summary: I should have realized that it was gonna be a low rent place based on the price but the site led me to believe it was a sale on the rooms. It is in terrible condition. Would not recommend.

Jessica Nov 2, 2025 05:13:49 AM

Summary: Staff is friendly. Room was clean upon arrival. Perfect if you’re solo traveling through New York and are planning to stay in Brooklyn.

Alan Oct 15, 2025 08:18:15 PM

Summary: The hotel was clean and well kept. The room was standard for NYC. It was a value for the location and easy to get around.
