“take it easy, it's a nice place”

I do not know why this hotel keeps receiving terrible reviews. My boyfriend and I have stayed there one weekend a summer for the past three years, and each year it is a bit more impressive. This past trip, I was very pleased to find that new ownership/ management has led to a friendlier staff, more hospitable rooms, and an overall higher quality hotel. The rooms are very clean (nothing luxurious, but includes everything standard), have electronic entries, and were of a decent size. The hotel is in a safe neighborhood, and you cannot beat the price in Brooklyn! We would recommend staying here.

  • Liked — price was unbeatable for the location
  • Disliked — you get what you pay for, standard hotel

“Not Even God Could Help”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2007

people found this review helpful

From the moment I entered the lobby and saw what looked like a drug deal, I wished I had driven elsewhere, but it was too late. I entered
the stairway where a couple was sitting and didnt want to move to let
me pass. the hallways smelled and the room wasnt any better. The floor and bed were covered in cigarette burns, which grossed me out, I stripped it off and slept with a towel. I slept with the lights on since I saw a cockroach, and couldnt not wait until i could get the hell out of that shithole. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, IT IS A DUMP....you would be better off in a shelter, for Gods sale, at least
you would know what was coming at you.

“don't ever stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2006

people found this review helpful

the hallway smelled, the bedroom smelled like smoke, the walls are thin and i could hear everything next door and in the hallway, the vending machine was broken, the room was old, and the continental breakfast was aweful. My most terrible hotel experience ever, not to mention i paid $145 a night for it! Do yourself a favos, take my word and find another place to stay.

  • Liked — close to lots of restaurants and coney island
  • Disliked — besides the location, i liked nothing about it
  • Tips/Secrets — don't stay here, if you are forced to, be prepared

“geez...it's not that bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2006

people found this review helpful

I'm a single Mom and wanted to take my son to see New York. We stayed here and it wasn't all that bad. I wasn't looking for a deluxe place to stay, just a place to sleep get up and go to NYC. We stayed a few nights and had no bad experience. I kind of had a wierd smell though not really bad kind of like moth balls. It saved me lots of money since I was on vacation I had more time that money. We even walked around at night and felt safe. We walked to our room at night from the Sheepshead Bay subway station about 1/2 hour walk.
My son was 11 at the time of our trip. I'd go there again.

“Stay away from this hell hole”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2006

people found this review helpful

On checking in on 30th November we were immediately shocked that the desk staff said nothing to a person, we assume was a resident, shouting and screaming abuse in the lobby. The first and second nights stay were interrupted by doors slamming, groups of men hanging around the first floor corridor and people with heavy Russian accents running up and down the corridors. The third night things came to a head with a hooker in the next room to us and a never ending stream of 'visitors' from early evening to 6.30 the following morning. The noise was unbearable [her screaming and the bed head banging loudly against our wall] We found the experience both intimidating and stressful to say the least. We left the next morning. This is no way the family hotel it is advertised to be - W would have been horrified if we had had children with us
