A convenient option if you are looking to stay in the Gowanus and/or the Park Slope neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Four blocks away from the F, G and R lines and the 4 Ave subway station; and two blocks away from a basic convenience store. Dining options around and the neighborhood seems quite safe to walk around at night as we did.

The lady at the front desk was courteous given the hour - well past midnight - that we checked in. Through our stay the staff were pleasant and helpful (Pamela at the front desk, the other two ladies there, the gentleman at the front door, etc.); be it directions that we sought, or laundry bags (there is a laundromat conveniently located two blocks away) and such.

Breakfast, if you do not mind cold continental (there is a coffee maker in the room), is quite all right; and delivered on time each morning (remember to fill out the card the previous night). Room is compact but has a decent layout, small balcony outside is a welcome touch (we left the door open while we were in, a door stopper would have been nice); however the layout of the rest room and the shower does not afford much privacy (and cost this review a star).

Check-in and check-out were easy, we did like the fresh fruit at the front desk and the daily newspapers available were a nice touch.

Thank you for a pleasant stay at your hotel.
