This is a great business hotel, but unless you get a promotional rate it can be quite a rip-off. The rooms have a decent size and nice, but old furniture, but it lacks some storage space for clothes. My main complaint is the lack of iron and ironing boards (which is common for many Brazilian hotels), forcing you to use their expensive service. On the other hand, the hotel offers a charming and varied breakfast buffet with live piano music, a very helpfull and service-minded staff and an overall pleasant and a bit old-fashioned experience.

The hotel is good located. The hotel personnel is helpful and attentive. The room was cold the first night. The next days I had a good blanket. The room is rather old fashioned. The internet is expensive if used more than the first free minutes. The breakfast is very good and complete. The restaurant though is slow service in the evening. The gym is well maintained; it has a lot of machines. There is also a small pool located in the gym (!?). Oposite to the hotel there is a shopping mall with plenty of restaurants to choose.

The hotel works perfectly well considering the need for a good location for those who need to transit in the City of Brooklyn. It has a concierge service impeccable, with all staff taking turns full-time. The idea of ​​personalized service, so that the guests feel at home (the company's promise), works well too, from the breakfast show and served in a home, as well as snacks offered free to guests at the end of the day in the lobby of the building. On the other hand, the apartments offer only the basics of comfort, it is not suitable for those wishing to relax in the tub with bath salts, in a robe and go to sleep between six pillows: There is none! Bathroom small it takes to heat water, only two pillows, no robe, much less bath. Did not get other amenities offered by the hotel pool, gym, bar ... well, it's worth the excellent treatment

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

I can see that some people would call the hotel dated as the interior is older and might have seen better days. However, in my opinion, it added some of the charm and character (for example: the elevator is covered in wood instead of the usual stainless steel).

Also worth mentioning is the breakfast: the options are somewhat standard but plentiful, however I particularly liked the ambiance of the breakfast area (glass throughout) and the live musician. That was a nice way to start a day of long meetings.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English.

Internet was free if you could handle the slow connection (OK for my needs but might be too slow if you need more bandwidth).

Bottom line: I would stay at this hotel again and would recommend this hotel to my coworkers.
