Pros (+) Call it cool, creative, hip, stylish, trendy or anything similar that doesn't sounds to gen x. This is a great hotel to experience the local delights of Williamsburgs, Brooklyn and even Manhattan. From the cool art pieces, unique coffee experiences, fantastic views to delicious breakfast pastries and tremendous tacos...what didn't I like?
Cons (-) Having to leave for my trip home.

Kathleen, Jun 2025
Pros (+) Second time to this little gem of a hotel. The location is perfect to visit family nearby. The staff is perfect - friendly, helpful. The room was even more comfortable than our last stay! We enjoyed a drink on the rooftop before we went to dinner. Great views and service.
Cons (-) A squeegee for the shower door would be appreciated. We had quite a wet bath mat... personal problem?!

Anonymous, Jun 2025
Pros (+) Liked the comfort of the bed, but it would have been too small for two people. This was marketed as a queen sized bed but it was actually a full size bed. The bathroom had a nice shower and offered shampoo/conditioner/hand or body soap, which was nice.
Cons (-) Sitting area not too comfy. Sit on the bed.
