I've stayed here dozens of times while working on a major project - hard to find better value for money right in the heart of downtown Brooklyn. Not impressive, but as an option when you just need a decent hotel in the area, it's hard to beat.

I've gotten to know the staff and they are great - no, they are amazing. I love Vivian, Alexander, Theressa, Marie, William (doorman), they are all great. Vivian in paticular has assisted me in so many ways and made my stays there comfortable. The room service is also excellent.

Now, that's actually not saying much frankly the hotel itself is not very impressive - old, outdated and in need of overhaul. One issue right now is that their ventilation is faulty and thus very noisy, there is construction going on across the street (not their fault), and the sound proofing is bad so the huge number of large parties that happen are difficult to control and thus sleep through. They are doing renovations however and once completed some issues may go away. Still, parties.
