“Good value, sketchy neighborhood”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

I stayed at this Holiday Inn Express on 10/31/11 for one night on business. I've used this hotel several times in the past two years when visiting a client in Metrotech.

It was good value at $109 plus tax. They charge $24 for parking, which I paid given the nature of the neighborhood. The rooms are clean, I didn't spend any time in the public areas of the hotel. The breakfast area is small, and on this trip was full of young Venezuelan soccer players, so I didn't get breakfast.

It's about a half mile to Atlantic Avenue, where there are several decent restaurants, but this part of Brooklyn is a little sketchy, so it's not a walk for the faint hearted.

“A tidy, unassuming place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

I am not used to hotels n the middle of what appears to be a industrial park. But the location is good because it is s close to s many good restaurants and Prospect Park

“OK for one night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

We were taking a cruise from the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal and picked this hotel because of the rates and location not too far from Red Hook. The area was not the best for walking at night so we took a cab after supper and shopping at Macy's but otherwise security at the hotel seemed adequate. Room size for New York seemed spacious but the fan was so noisy we had to turn it off for sleeping and the thermostat didn't work at all. Staff were helpful and the hot breakfat was quite good. But I don't think we would stay here again as the rate for this location seemed pretty steep.

“Horrendous: Avoid this hotel at all costs !!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I love New York and have had the pleasure of staying in some of the nicest hotels I've stayed in in the world.
The Holiday Inn Express Brooklyn Downtown delivered the poorest experience and the lowest value yet. The area is very commercial and has a number of large housing tower blocks nearby. As well as the excessive litter & graffiti, the broken pavements and abandoned cars create a very intimidating environment after dusk. I was approached by a number of ladies offering their "personal services" literally 30 yards from the hotel at 9.30 pm !! The reception area is unwelcoming as well as tatty and in places (i.e. the furniture) dirty. The breakfast isn't fit for a dog and the tables in the dining area weren't clean, although you could see where the lady had smeared around the dirt with her filthy cloth. New York hotel rooms are usually small but this hotel took it to a new level. The aircon worked very well but was so loud you couldn't watch tv or talk on the phone while it was on. The TV only had the bog standard channels - very limited viewing. The paper thin walls and the aggressively sprung doors meant the people noise and slamming doors was almost constant. Good points - the shower was good, the bed was comfortable and the WiFi worked well. All in all dreadful. If you want to stay in Brooklyn head for Park Slope of Brooklyn Heights. Avoid this hotel like the plague !!
