In the city that doesn’t sleep- this place snores!
In the city that doesn’t sleep- this area snores.
I’ve stayed at about every hotel in North Brooklyn. Although this hotel looks really cool, there were unexpected expenses and inconveniences.
It’s located in a desolate part of Greenpoint BK. It’s a 10+ minute walk to the G train, which itself doesn’t go into the city. You have to transfer to another 1-2 train(s) (depending on direction) to go into Manhattan. There’s no nightlife or restaurants other than their own. The closest bodega closes early.
Usually when you book on this site, all expenses are paid. The hotel hit me with a “destination fee”- They had already charged my card and needed me to sign when I came to the lobby hours after checkin. This means that I could not opt out of the fee by deciding not to stay on account of them charging extra. Sneaky.
Their own restaurant had a little over 5 items for dinner. I ended up having to order out because nothing suited my diet and I didn’t want to pay 16$ for the salad on the menu.
I asked for a late check out because the room’s alarm clock went off at 6am and I couldn’t fall back asleep. They charge 25$ for every hour you wish to stay past 11am. Before I asked for late check out, I had considered staying another night. When I asked for late check out, she said they couldn’t do it because they had no vacancy that Sunday night. Not true, I let her know.
I tried to go back to sleep but housekeeping knocked around 8:30.
Cool art.
Unplug the alarm.
