We stayed for one night while passing through Brooklyn to visit some friends living in the Gowanus and Park Slope areas. This was an ideal place. Incredibly affordable for a NY spot, stylish, clean, and staffed by friendly and welcoming folks. My 4 and 6 year old daughters were totally charmed by the modern design elements, and for being on a busy stretch, noise was not a factor. The Whole Foods just around the corner from it (behind it really) was a great spot to get some incidentals and even a bite to eat in the pub/restaurant upstairs. Small in-room breakfast service and some free snacks and water were appreciated as well. We also benefited from the free parking, though the spaces are limited (I believe there are 14), so you are not guaranteed a spot. Worst case, there is a garage just down the street. We will not hesitate to use again if we are looking for a spot in Brooklyn to stay.
