“Basically Brooklyn!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is located in an industrial area. There are a few residential buildings, but not much goes on after 6:00 pm. The parking sucks!!! There are 16 narrow spaces for the entire hotel. The spaces are reserved on a first come first serve basis with a fee of $24 per day. What do you expect? Your in New York! There is limited street parking available around the hotel, but be sure to READ THE SIGNS! We parked 1 block down the street and our truck was just fine overnight. The street was well lit. There were other hotel guest cars parked safely all around.

The hotel lobby was compact, but it served its purpose. The complimentary continental breakfast area overlooks the lobby area. The breakfast was a little heavier than most. Coffee, tea and cookies are available all throughout the day.

The hotel is either fairly new or recently renovated. The rooms were tiny, but just what we needed for the night. The room was tidy and clean. Clean bedding, clean linen and the bathroom was spotless. The wireless speed was great.

I was accompanied by my husband and young son. I don't think that I would have been too comfortable as a woman by myself in the area after dark. The location is great, you are walking distance from public transportation. The best way to do sightseeing is the train. Parking is ridicously expensive in Manhattan and you will have to circle the block in Brooklyn searching for street parking. Be smart, save money and take the train

Great room for the price, location, safety and most importantly; cleanliness. I hope this helps.

Room Tip: Choose Non Smoking rooms in advance. They tend to go quickly.

“Small rooms, sketchy neighborhood”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

Average service, comfortable but small rooms. Cramped breakfast room with standard Holiday Inn Express fare. 8 block walk to the R line subway. Seemed understaffed, my room didn't get cleaned one day, got the complimentary USA Today delivered to my room 2 of 4 mornings. The neighborhood is in an industrial area with lots of broken glass and trash on the sidewalks. I didn't feel comfortable walking by myself after dark.

Room Tip: Stay on the back side of the hotel. There is a garbage truck garage just down the street and they g...

“Very nice hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Good location (5mins by foot from Atlantic avenue), very nice staff, clean...perfect to stay one week to visit new york and brooklyn.
Maybe not for a woman alone, neighbourhood a bit empty during the night.
Breakfast is a bit basic compared to "european" breakfast, available from 6am to 10am, room a bit small.

“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.

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
