Sonder The Industrialist in the Gowanus area of Brooklyn provides a decent place to stay for a good price. The building has, as advertised, an industrial vibe inside and out. The rooms are small and sparsely decorated and furnished... small but functional toilet and shower in the bathroom, sink and shelf in the bedroom.
There is an employee in the lobby to greet guests and manage any issues or concerns for much of the day (not 24 hours) - and everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful.
The rooms while small, were comfortable - great beds, pillows and comforters. And the most pleasant surprise - while small and packed closely together - quiet. I was concerned about late night noise - but there was none. That may have been due to superior construction materials / soundproofing between rooms and floors - but also the clearly stated rules for staying there... no pets, no parties, and be respectful of others (always) - but particularly between the hours of 10pm and 8a.
