Very convenient hotel in Williamsburg. A few blocks away from the Bedford Av subway station, but quiet enough to get a good night's sleep.
Room was great, nicely set out considering the space. Only criticism I would have (very small thing) is that there is no decent counter/ledge space in the bathroom to put your toiletry bag.

The staff here are great. They are very professional and caring. The room is clean, quiet, and had great amenities, which is wonderful as I travel for work. The building overall is beautifully kept and the atmosphere inviting. Williamsburg has a lot to offer and the hotel is very well positioned for subway connections.

This was a lovely second visit to the hotel. The room is very functional and had everything I needed especially a quiet night’s sleep in an area of Brooklyn which is lively and varied! I will be back!

Really loved staying here. It's small, but it's NY it's what I expected. We had 3 people in our room. I will say the sleeper bed is not that comfortable, but it works. I would def stay here but maybe solo or with one other person. Great stay for the cost. It's away from touristy things but I loved it for how quiet it is at night. It's one of my favorite areas to stay in when I visit.
