Shower was awesome and loved having pump bottle soaps in the shower. Parking was very convenient, reasonably priced and very near the property. Many places to eat and buy necessary items. Could use more hooks for hanging towels and clothing items. We really like this place.

This fits the bill for a short stay in Gowanus / Brooklyn. Easy access, super nice staff, very clean, quiet. Area is a mix of industrial and fun. Shower is a bit dysfunctional. Room is small but very well laid out.

There is no redeeming benefit to this hotel. There is no staff… maybe a guy sitting behind a desk in “lobby” but unless you have a question he does nothing. Its all about a code to get in and get out. And then you find your room is so small you have to move the Nespresso machine onto yiur bed for morning coffee. Sink so small I could barely brush my teeth and spit… fridge that may fit a tallboy and Roku TV to ice the cake….

The vibes of this place were immaculate! The room was small but I didn’t mind. The hotel was very clean and quiet. They do not offer a lot of amenities but since I was only there for two nights, it was fine. Definitely in a great location, there were plenty of restaurants and shopping places within walking distance. I would stay here again.
