The Box House Hotel is located at the top of Greenpoint which is it's pros and cons. It is only 10 min walk to a subway station that will take you to midtown manhattan in less than 2 stops but requires crossing of a bridge which can be confusing your first time but super easy on subsequent times. If you are looking to explore brooklyn, there isn't a subway station close by but they have a car service that will drop you off a mile away or you can call a lyft/uber.
As for the hotel itself, it is super clean, has a great vibe in the lobby, rooms with high ceilings and spacious rooms. The sofa bed is not recommended but the main bed itself is really comfy. The staff are helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and won't hesitate to stay here again.
