We had a great experience with this hotel. We stayed for four nights and traveled into Manhattan every day. The subway was very close. The inclusive breakfast was great; definitely a highlight. The room was small but very clean and functional. There is free WiFi. The staff were all helpful and professional. The cleaning staff and other guests are up... More

A co-worker booked this room for me & turns out it was the wrong hotel. The neighborhood was not safe & I wish I checked this site before I arrived. Even during the day, I was uncomfortable walking alone as a female on the street. I only stayed 2 nights. The second morning I took a taxi to my destination... More

This hotel is in a really dangerous neighborhood in Brooklyn. I was scared to walk around at night since I was the only white girl. Check-in was at 3:00 PM and at 3:30, our room still was not ready. Rooms had a weird smell? Breakfast was as good as free breakfast can get. Bed sheets were dirty and stained so... More

Holiday Inn Express hotel is the most pathetic, disgusting, ridiculous hotel, i have visited in my life. We stayed there for two days. But the experience is too bitter to forget. The bulb in the bathroom was not working. So instead of calling the technician or replacing the bulb, they placed a table lamp in the bathroom. The receptionist was... More

Went to Brooklyn for a tradeshow at the Williamsburgh Bank Building. This was the closest hotel to the show. Has off street parking lot behind hotel - a plus. No restaurant on site, but offered breakfast. Room was fairly good size, for NYC area. Room was also clean. Sound was an issue, between hallway noise and doors slamming.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Brooklyn for two days last week. The rooms are furnished like other Holiday Inns with the exception of not having a closet (not enough space). The space around the bed is tight and there is not much floor space overall, but that is to be expected in NYC. Upon checking in, I... More

The hotel appears to be relatively new, but is located in the middle of warehouses--several blocks of warehouses. Taxis as well as hotel staff cautioned about walking around the area after dusk. No restaurants close by, so a cab ride is required to go even 3-4 blocks. Rooms are not well insulated so you hear your neighbors. Doors are not... More

Stayed here while touring watchtower bible and tract society. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was good and clean. We had to pay extra to park in there parking lot but it was worth it and we bought a subway pass to see many attractions. Definitely will stay there again. staff was very helpful in giving directions to subway and dining.

I found this hotel online while looking for a place to stay overnight. They had a special going on which appealed to me so I took it. Online it doesn't show you that the hotel is located in the middle of warehouses and alleys. I was scared to get out of my car and even more to leave it parked.... More

The hotel is located in an industrial area. There are a few residential buildings, but not much goes on after 6:00 pm. The parking sucks!!! There are 16 narrow spaces for the entire hotel. The spaces are reserved on a first come first serve basis with a fee of $24 per day. What do you expect? Your in New York!... More
