The rooms are gorgeous, but the service is lacking. The staff are very nice, but inexperienced. Our room wasn''t made up even though we were gone from 9 am until 4 pm. The ultramodern bath has a tile shower with no curtain, which gets the floor very wet regardless of how careful one is. The beds are unbelievably comfortable. Very nice amenities (whole wheat lotion and flax shampoo). Location is convenient to Park Slope, downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, its a rare treat to have parking, and the price is great for the level of hotel. .

This hotel should not have opened yet. The staff has not been properly trained, the restaurant is not open and things don't quite work. One day our room was not made up -- and not well handled by the front desk person. The style is ultra modern, with emphasis on form over function. The hotel is new -- yet the glass panels in the halls and elevators are already cracked and the place looks old. A bare minimal breakfast was set up in a closet off the lobby, with styrofoam plates and no place to sit. At those prices that was hardly acceptable. The rooms are a bit cramped, the closet is minute and the drawers tiny. We had a lovely view of the Statue of Liberty... and a U-Haul parking lot. If you stay here -- be sure to get instructions on how to get hot water in the shower! Don't stay if you are squeamish about an all glass shower and toilet quite close to the bed. Pluses are convenience to the Subway and the restaurants on 5th Ave.

I stayed at this hotel in Nov. 07 and thought the rooms were very nice. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, upscale and trendy everything. It was also VERY easy to park there - not a small feat in NY. There were some strange aspects to the place though -- I didn't get a clean washcloth on my second day, and the breakfast situation was ridiculous. They had no space at all in the lobby to sit down and eat. In general, the lobby is non-existent. Don't plan on sitting there and working or waiting for someone. They only had two chairs when I was there. I chalk most of this up to opening jitters though and hopefully they have fixed these things by now. I would stay there again.

Hotel still has that fresh, clean new feeling. The Bed was incredibly comfortable, plasma tv a nice bonus and the shower is great (if you can get past the awkwardness of your complete exposure to the rest of the room). As a person who tends to choose hotels based on their promised cleanliness, I was not disappointed. The Lobby (if you can call it that) and hallways are tiny, and until the restaurant opens the hotel has no common space. Walls a little thin. There was never excessive noise, but when awake we could hear people in the hallway outside our door. The staff was very helpful quick to provide bottled water or extra coffee upon request.

For the size, quality and cleanliness of the rooms, this place is a steal. Perfect for visiting friends or family in Park Slope, but a little less convenient for sightseeing in Manhattan. Expect a short four block walk to the subway station, but about a 30 minute ride to get to Rockefeller Center on the F train.

The location of the hotel is a bit odd. It's set back from the street between a Pep Boys and a taxi depot, but one block over on 5th Ave is a lovely place to walk around or grab a meal.
