“Worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was extremely small (double bed in the corner and had to open suitcases on the bed as there was no room to do so on the bedroom floor) but this isn’t a major deal to me. The worst parts were dirty bedsheets with stains, cigarette burns and the whole place smelled like cigarette smoke. The bathroom had a broken toilet that ran water loudly all night and there was mould in the shower plus it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. Towels were also dirty and I don’t think the towels or bedding had been washed in quite some time. I understand that you get what you pay for and if it is just a place to sleep for the night it isn’t so bad but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Based on other reviews I also think I am one of the lucky ones as people have had worse experiences here than me.
If you are thinking of staying here and all of these things don’t bother you then I would just recommend to bring a spare towel, shoes for the shower and something to cover the bed with.
If the owners ever see this please just clean the place up a little. If there were washed towels and bedding, and the shower was cleaned it would make a huge difference. The location is great and this hotel could be something good if it was just cared for and cleaned up a little.”

The location is great and this hotel could be something good if it was just cared for and cleaned up a little. Pior hotel em que já me hospedei. O quarto era extremamente pequeno (cama de casal no canto e tive que abrir as malas na cama, pois não havia espaço para fazê-lo no chão do quarto), mas isso não é um grande problema para mim . As piores partes eram lençóis sujos com manchas, queimaduras de cigarro e todo o lugar cheirava a fumaça de cigarro. O banheiro tinha um vaso sanitário quebrado que corria água alto a noite toda e havia mofo no chuveiro, além de parecer que não era limpo há semanas. As toalhas também estavam sujas e não acho que as toalhas ou roupas de cama fossem lavadas há algum tempo. Eu entendo que você recebe o que você paga e se é apenas um lugar para dormir durante a noite não é tão ruim, mas eu não recomendaria este lugar a ninguém. Com base em outros comentários, também acho que sou um dos sortudos, pois as pessoas tiveram experiências piores aqui do que eu. Se você está pensando em ficar aqui e todas essas coisas não o incomodam, recomendo apenas trazer uma toalha sobressalente, sapatos para o banho e algo para cobrir a cama.Se os proprietários virem isso, por favor, apenas limpe o lugar um pouco. Se houvesse toalhas e roupas de cama lavadas, e o chuveiro fosse limpo, faria uma grande diferença. A localização é ótima e este hotel poderia ser algo bom se fosse apenas cuidado e limpo um pouco.

La habitación era extremadamente pequeña (la cama doble en la esquina y tenía que abrir las maletas en la cama porque no había espacio para hacerlo en el piso del dormitorio) pero esto no es un gran problema para mí . Las peores partes eran sábanas sucias con manchas, quemaduras de cigarrillos y todo el lugar olía a humo de cigarrillo. El baño tenía un inodoro roto que hacía ruido durante toda la noche y había moho en la ducha, además parecía que no lo habían limpiado en semanas. Las toallas también estaban sucias y no creo que las toallas o la ropa de cama se hayan lavado en mucho tiempo. Entiendo que obtienes lo que pagas y si es solo un lugar para dormir por la noche, no es tan malo, pero no recomendaría este lugar a nadie. Según otras reseñas, también creo que soy uno de los afortunados ya que las personas han tenido peores experiencias aquí que yo. Si estás pensando en quedarte aquí y todas estas cosas no te molestan, te recomiendo que traigas una toalla de repuesto, zapatos para la ducha y algo para cubrir la cama.Si los propietarios alguna vez ven esto, simplemente limpie el lugar un poco. Si hubiera toallas y ropa de cama lavadas, y la ducha estuviera limpia, marcaría una gran diferencia. La ubicación es excelente y este hotel podría ser algo bueno si solo se cuidara y limpiara un poco.

Based on some of the reviews I felt like I was going to stay at an ISIS concentration camp. It wasn't great but it wasn't awful for the price. If they cleaned the hotel up better and used fresh clean sheets and towels this place would be a great choice for everyone. People in the hotel were normal travellers, I expected crack heads. Literally just use non stained sheets and detail clean after guests and this place would be perfect. Room is small but if you plan to day trip around New York all day that shouldn't be an issue.... As I said, just needs to be cleaner and erase the cig smell permanently embedded into the hotel. For my Australian travellers, this is basically just a non-clean rural motel.

Would not recommend but I guess that is what you can expect when NY is so expensive. Bed was horrible and makes so much noise! No towels in the room and when I requested one I got one old gray and one white towel, one of which smelled like the were in a dumpster. TV doesn’t work. Room is small you only have enough space to walk around the bed. Places reeks of cigarette. Really might be better off staying at a motel. They were flexible for late check in which is a positive.

I once, unfortunately, spent a night in a jail cell, and there is no question: the accommodations there were far superior than what you’ll find at this pathetic excuse for a hotelThe room in which I stayed seemed to have been designed as a middle school project. There was no room to walk around the bed, a full length mirror was hanging dangerously close to the shower, and one false move could have led to a nasty accident. The air conditioning sounded like an old, abandoned car. Plus there was no soap in the bathroomI tried to complain, but the desk clerk was nowhere to be found moments after my arrival, and his replacement didn’t arrive until mid-morning the next day. I immediately cancelled the 2nd of two nights that I’d booked, and she said I’d receive a refund , , but as you might imagine, I’ve since been told that won’t happenIn a laminated handout that contained information that is not duplicated on their website, the owners of this “hotel” claim to be looking out for the environment, which I guess explains the two ratty towels that were ours to use for the length of our stay. Recycling! Cutting back on laundry! Oh I get it..And have I mentioned that there was only one pillow for what was clearly a two person reservation?The neighborhoods below Park Slope have blossomed over the past several years. But just because the bodega on the corner has rearranged its shelves, and every block seems to have an enticing eatery, I urge you with every fiber of my being to avoid this place. Staying here created one of the most miserable nights of my life, and you do not deserve to go through the same mess Uma vez, infelizmente, passei uma noite em uma cela de prisão, e não há dúvida: as acomodações lá eram muito superiores ao que você encontrará nesta desculpa patética de hotelO quarto em que fiquei parecia ter sido projetado como um projeto de ensino médio. Não havia espaço para andar ao redor da cama, um espelho de corpo inteiro estava pendurado perigosamente perto do chuveiro, e um movimento em falso poderia ter levado a um acidente desagradável. O ar condicionado parecia um carro velho e abandonado. Além disso, não havia sabonete no banheiroTentei reclamar, mas o recepcionista não estava em lugar nenhum momentos depois da minha chegada, e seu substituto não chegou até o meio da manhã do dia seguinte. Cancelei imediatamente a segunda das duas noites que reservei e ela disse que eu receberia um reembolso, mas, como você pode imaginar, desde então me disseram que isso não aconteceráEm um folheto plastificado que continha informações não duplicadas em seu site, os proprietários deste “hotel” afirmam estar cuidando do meio ambiente, o que acho que explica as duas toalhas surradas que eram nossas para usar durante a nossa estadia . Reciclando! Cortando na lavanderia! Oh, entendi..E eu mencionei que havia apenas um travesseiro para o que era claramente uma reserva para duas pessoas?Os bairros abaixo de Park Slope floresceram nos últimos anos. Mas só porque a bodega da esquina reorganizou suas prateleiras, e cada quarteirão parece ter um restaurante atraente, exorto você com todas as fibras do meu ser a evitar este lugar. Ficar aqui criou uma das noites mais miseráveis da minha vida, e você não merece passar pela mesma bagunça

Let's start off with this was a same day booking for the weekend but they're no excuses for how disgusting this place is. Room was super small can't go around the bed. Stains on the blankets and sheets. Nails sticking out the bathroom mirror.Toilet sensitive clogged twice and they don't even keep plungers in the room you have to ask for it. Something of mine fell on the floor so I take a peak under like the 2 inch bottom of the bed . It is FILthy. The shower curtain was so yellow at the bottom it was practically turning orange. The shower head doesn't really move so you in an uncomfortable spot trying to shower. Some last had a dog that kept barking every time she left and she left multiple times I feel like they should have said something.Imagine trying to sleep and a dog is barking non stop. You can literally hear everything that's going on in the hallways is ridiculous.Would not recommend unless it's an emergency Vamos começar com esta foi uma reserva no mesmo dia para o fim de semana, mas eles não são desculpas para o quão nojento este lugar é. Quarto era super pequeno não pode ir ao redor da cama. Manchas nos cobertores e lençóis. Unhas saindo do espelho do banheiro. Sensível ao banheiro entupido duas vezes e eles nem mantêm os êmbolos no quarto que você precisa pedir. Algo meu caiu no chão, então eu dou uma espiada embaixo, como o fundo de 2 polegadas da cama. É imundo. A cortina do chuveiro era tão amarela na parte inferior que estava praticamente ficando laranja. A cabeça do chuveiro realmente não se move, então você fica em um local desconfortável tentando tomar banho. Alguns últimos tiveram um cachorro que ficava latindo toda vez que ela saía e ela saía várias vezes, eu sinto que eles deveriam ter dito alguma coisa. Imagine tentar dormir e um cachorro está latindo sem parar. Você pode literalmente ouvir tudo o que está acontecendo nos corredores é ridículo. Não recomendo a menos que seja uma emergência

Os atendentes são extremamente educados e prestativos. O quarto possui uma cama confortável, aquecedor e chuveiro à gás. Infelizmente a iluminação não é boa, e a limpeza não é muito boa, pois derrubei meu celular embaixo da cama, tinha moeda, garrafa, comida e muita poeira, pois o quarto é só limpado por cima.

La habitación súper pequeña , no funcionaba la mesa ( no se abría) , no funcionaba el secador de cabello ni la televisión luego de quejarme por 3 días (casi nunca hay recepción , y cuando la hay o no habla inglés o es ruda, irrespetuosa y maleducada me cambiaron de habitacióntuve que pelear para que me dejen tener el equipaje en día del checkout , las tarjetas x flas habitaciones de un momento a otro dejan de andar dejándote fuera y esperando a que llegue alguien de recepción . Lo positivo la zona es hermosa y el único que se destaca es Irvin con su buena atención y excelente manejo de los huéspedes el resto daasco véanlo como un hostal pero con menos cosas y más caro …..
