A pretty new hotel in Williamsburg that is accommodating and affordable. I stumbled upon this hotel through an Expedia deal and decided to take advantage of it.
So here we go:
Pros:
- it's a modern and sophisticated look. Not rundown like most NY hotels
- customer service is good and will respond quickly per requests.
- has most things you need, bed, microwave, mini fridge, shower, coffee in the lobby, office space in the lobby, wifi, etc.
- the hotel is near most things, coffee shop, grocery store (more like a quick mart, but it does have produce) and most importantly-- the L line. Which takes you directly to manhattan.
Cons:
- there are some things about the hotel and how it was put together. Like the outlets are odd, and the doors are heavy.
- the rooms are small but, it's New York. All hotel rooms are tiny-- unless you're paying a massive amount for a bigger room.
- it can be loud at times, like the hallway doors or traffic. But once again, it's New York. I always recommend people to bring ear plugs because it's always loud in New York.
Conclusion: it's a great hotel for staying on the cheaper end since manhattan is so expensive to stay. However, I would personally recommend this place to people who have been to New York before and know how to get around the city via train. And in my opinion, I think the best and cheapest way to experience New York is by train. It's located in a great borough and has the potential to become better if management decides to improve i
