Guest Score 9 out of 10
Wonderful
The mattress was very firm, which I loved, but something to note. Blankets were pretty thin and we needed to request a second one, but the room was clean enough and the staff was soooooo friendly. We were so relieved to end up with this hotel. The air conditioner worked amazing, we had enough room, our swipe in cards had no issues. There is a little kitchenette available in the basement with a filtered water dispenser, which saved us a TON of money. We were close to the Paramount and subway access. I would easily stay here again, and that's saying a lot.
There was a wrapper of the previous guests soap in the shower, the shower grout itself between the tiles was dark grey if not black and definitely needed cleaned. The room itself was perfectly fine, the bathroom was the only thing that needed attention, and the shower at that.

Very Good
Staff was excellent. Quick to respond. 24 hour coffee downstairs. Convenient breakfast to go. Excellent location. Very clean.
Room was tiny. Place could us some upgrades.

Very Poor
The room was very small and had no wardrobe, so there was nowhere to properly store our belongings. The bathroom was extremely noisy, and the overall experience was unpleasant: we heard people arguing and shouting in the hallway, along with constant noise. The place was also dirty, and the staff were unhelpful and unwilling to assist. I would not stay here again.
The only thing I liked about the accommodation was checking out and leaving.

Clean.
Aggravating that Towels provided were old, very thin and worn. Also stained. Definitely should replace them. We decided not to use them and bought our own towels to use.
Also rooms are extremely too small for the price you have to pay.

Check-in & Check-out were easy. Bed was big for an NYC hotel room.
The hallways had a really strong perfume scent. The bed was extremely high off the ground, so it was hard to get in and out of.

Location is great, 24/7 coffee/water access was nice, staff was very nice.
The room is small, very small. Tv is mounted to where you have to lay sideways in bed to watch, nowhere to sit in the room other than on the bed. Blanket was incredibly thin, not super comfortable.

Poor
Convenient location for central Brooklyn and reasonably clean.
More like a hostel than a hotel. Room was basically the same size as the bed. En-suite was tiny, had crack in both sink and toilet and toilet roll holder had fallen off the wall.
No public spaces and no option to have guests in room (not that there would be any space for such)

Wonderful
Worth the money. Clean and beds were comfy. It's not an upscale hotel, but we knew that before we stayed. It met our needs for the night. Walking distance from our garage and Barclays Center. I would absolutely stay again and would recommend this place.
The beds were a bit small and the elevator was super sketchy. Still worth the price.
Thank you for your information!
