    subway access
    comfortable bed
    mold presence

    Tiny rooms make moving around a hassle. Cleanliness standard was decent, but I found mold near the window. Proximity to the subway makes it convenient to explore the city.

    Comfortable Stay with Helpful Amenities

    We had a lovely one-night stay in the Twin Room with Two Twin Beds, perfect for our family. The bed was cozy, and while we wished for more coffee supplies and a night lamp, the cleaning staff was very accommodating. Don't miss the onsite restaurant. the breakfast was delicious!

    this stay was a pleasant surprise compared to my last experience in new york. the twin room was clean and the bed was super comfortable, making it a romantic getaway. easy street parking was a bonus, and overall, it really exceeded my expectations.

    more coffee in the room would help.

    comfy room
    relaxing pool
    noisy guests

    Checked in for two nights and really enjoyed the comfy double room and the relaxing vibe by the pool. It was nice to unwind with some yoga classes while sipping on free coffee from the lobby. The only downside was a few noisy guests, but it didn’t ruin my overall chill experience! 🌞

    comfortable bed
    missing communal spaces

    The stay was marked by a very comfortable bed in a clean Twin Room with Two Twin Beds. Street parking proved to be easy, which was a major plus. However, the room showed signs of needing updates and repairs to fixtures. While the location felt safe and the area had good transport and dining options, the absence of communal spaces in the hotel was a downside.

    We loved our stay! The room was clean and perfect for our family with babies. Parking was straightforward, and we enjoyed a lovely family outing to one of Brooklyn's finest craft beer makers nearby. The beds were super comfortable too!

    My children wished for a bit more space to move around comfortably.

    reliable wi-fi
    accommodating staff
    limited dining

    My stay at Essence was surprisingly positive. The room was small but clean and efficient for my business needs. The Wi-Fi connection was reliable, making it easy to stay connected for work. Additionally, the front desk staff were accommodating and assisted in setting up my presentation materials. The location was also convenient for meetings, with easy access to public transport.

    Room size was small and there were limited dining options.

    The bed was super comfortable! 😍 But the room felt pretty cramped. Could have used a few more amenities, like better toiletries.
