So, I wish I had read the "Depends on what you're looking for" review before staying at this inn. The review is spot on and I absolutely had a similar experience. I also now realize why, after 10 years of living in Brooklyn Heights (adjacent to Cobble Hill), I had never heard of Saints and Sinners.

First, and perhaps most importantly, Saints and Sinners is NOT a bed and breakfast. In fact, I prefer to refer to it as a bed and dinner roll. Rather, unless you consider a large dinner roll, orange juice and coffee to be bed and breakfast fare, you'll be sadly disappointed by the breakfast portion of your stay. NOTE: If you do decide to stay here, do yourself a favor and walk away from the inn for breakfast. One of the benefits of the inn is that it is located in the Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens area of Brooklyn, and just a few blocks west of Court and Smith Streets, home to a wide variety of coffeeshops, cafes and breakfast spots. Ask around for Court and Smith Streets; you're sure to find something better than a dry dinner roll that has been sadly misplaced as the main event during the breakfast hour.

Additionally, breakfast was served AT 8:30, as opposed to 'from' 8:30, for example. Considering the absolute lack of preparation required for the meal, we were a bit disappointed at the innkeeper's inflexibility, as well as the insanely ridiculous cathedral music that she played throughout the course of breakfast.

Located in a historic brick townhouse, the rooms were quaint, as expected, and came complete with shabby chic chenille quilts. The design on the bed sheets, however, (purple tie-dye) was both surprising and atrocious. In all, the space was very clean, though the bathroom design was depressing and left much to be desired. On another note, the bathrooms are shared, and on our floor (the 3rd floor), up to five guests share one bathroom, which only seemed to work because 4 of us were traveling together and could coordinate showering schedules, etc.

Finally, from the time we booked our reservation, though our departure from the inn, Frances Armor, the innkeeper, maintained an exceptionally cold and emotion-free demeanor during all exchanges.

In any event, if you tend to be incognito, and are just looking for a place to duck in and out of during your stay in Brooklyn, then perhaps you'll overlook the inn's shortcomings and, instead, focus on the clean and quite nature of the space, and the location in a fab neighborhood. However, that said, I lived about a 15 minute walk away from this inn for 10 years, know the neighborhood like the back of my hand, was in town to see friends, had no intention of belaboring my time at the inn, and ultimately spent very little time there, but I still found the experience to be a turn-off.
