My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and convenient. The rooms were clean and spacious, equipped with a fridge, microwave, and iron, making it easy to settle in. However, the soundproofing could be improved, especially on lower floors. The service was efficient, although not overly friendly. The location, while near Manhattan, was a bit dull, with limited walking distance options and safety concerns in the area. The dining experience was decent but could use some improvement. The facilities were adequate, but nothing exceptional.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient for business travelers outside Manhattan, although a bit dead in the surroundings. The room had some cleanliness issues like garbage under the bed and a broken toilet that couldn't be fixed right away, but the hotel was reasonably priced. The dining options were good, and the service from the staff was friendly and genuine.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room was reasonably clean but not very soundproof, so light sleepers may want to opt for a higher floor. I also encountered some unexpected six-legged roommates during my stay. On the bright side, the hotel was adequate in terms of amenities, but there was no TV guide channel for those unfamiliar. Overall, it was an okay experience.

The service was a bit hit or miss. While the staff assisted in resolving an issue with Hotwire, they were not very responsive to guest needs and even ignored 'Do not disturb' signs. Some of the staff, particularly at breakfast, were unkind and disrespectful. There's room for improvement in this area.
Location

The hotel is situated near the trendy area of Williamsburg, which is a plus. However, it's not the most convenient spot with limited dining and grocery options within easy reach. On the upside, it's relatively close to Manhattan, offering easy access to key attractions via the subway.
Dining

The dining experience had its ups and downs. The breakfast spread was generous and well-prepared, reminiscent of homemade meals. However, other dining options like cheese sandwiches might not be everyone's favorite. The overall quality was decent but not exceptional.

The hotel provides basic facilities that meet standard expectations. While there were no standout features, everything was functional and in working order. Additional investment in amenities could enhance the overall guest experience.

The hotel staff was friendly and eager to please, but the location, although convenient by subway to times square, was not the best. The dining experience was okay but a bit limited in choice and with no daily variation. The rooms, reserved to someone else, had monkeys throwing poo and rotten fruit outside, close to the ice machine.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and overall good, offering views of a lovely cemetery with huge monuments and the city. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, but the lack of a TV guide channel and the presence of uninvited '6-legged visitors' were drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and smelled fresh, with complimentary breakfast included, though some extra furniture was left around. The service was good, with the staff making sure I had a comfortable stay, but there were some missed details like information about the shuttle and breakfast. The location, while not extremely close to Manhattan, was convenient with a nearby metro station offering easy access. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities met my expectations.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious with a king-size bed, but the soundproofing was lacking, making it hard to sleep. On the bright side, the nearby pizza delivery recommended by the night desk clerk was a great choice for a late-night snack. The decor in the room felt a bit outdated, reminiscent of a 70's adult movie set with oversized mirrors on the walls.
