My husband and I stayed two nights at the La Quinta on 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. We were visiting our daughter who lives two blocks away, so it was very convenient. The room was small but adequate and comfortable. The bathroom was fine but the shower water pressure was very low. We were on the top floor (6th). The breakfast was decent - cold cereal, fresh fruit, waffle maker, 2 kinds of juice. There is a Dunkiin Donuts across the street. The parking lot is small, maybe 10 spaces, but we found a space on 13th Street and left the car there all weekend. We will definitely stay there as long as our daughter lives in the area. The AARP price was reasonable for the location.

I stayed here for 8 nights in November and I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again. I can't understand the negative reviews from below. My room had a king size bed, 35 inch LCD TV and a decent sized bathroom for NY. The room was very clean and everything was brand new. Yes, the room may be a bit small for two or more people but for one person, it was perfect. Also, the rooms in NYC hotels are about the same size anyway unless you stay at a five star luxury hotel. The area is really safe, even at night.

Although in Brooklyn, you are only a 10 minute subway ride from downtown Manhattan and about 20 minutes from Times Square. I bought a $29 weekly ticket for the subway and used it every day although after 11pm, I would always catch a cab back to the hotel which cost me only $20-25. My original hotel in NYC would have cost me $3,000 and my 8 night stay here cost me only $900. I saved heaps of money. I would leave my hotel around 11am and not return until late at night. The hotel is also only one block away from Park Slope neighbourhood which is really nice and has heaps of restaurants, bars and shops.

If the hotel can maintain their great weekly rate, then I would definitely be returning as I go to New York every November.

We stayed at the La Quinta Inn in Brooklyn in November, and it was a great alternative to staying in Manhattan. The price was great and there was easy access to the subway. The staff was friendly and the rooms were really clean. The rooms were spacious considering the location, and tastefully decorated and furnished. We will definitely stay here for future visits to NYC.

Staff was nice but rooms are already shabby considering how new it is. I for convenience. This is NOT a "dangerous" neighborhood. It is Brooklyn, the city, and can be a bit out of the way but not meant to be A luxury hotel. If you need to stay in this neighborhood there are few other choices.
