A clean minimalist hotel with a great location for me. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very tight. The shower was great. The bed was comfortable. The coffee pot worked well. No refrigerator which made it a little inconvenient. The “breakfast” wasn’t really used.

We had a good time at this hotel. Breakfast was basic continental but was great for our toddler to get fed before a day out in NYC. Room was pretty spacious, especially for NYC standards. They also brought up a crib for our toddler to sleep in which was great. Location was great. Close to metro and also close to some of the charming brooklyn neighborhoods.
