This is the very first time I've stayed in Brooklyn and I was surprised to see how much this side of the city had been developed. Many new shops, cafes, restaurants and corner stores near by the hotel. We received warm and friendly welcoming when we arrived and we ever love the shuttle car drivers Felix and Christian. They are extremely helpful and kind. We were staying at the loft suite and this room is very well kept, clean (spotless, unlike most of the hotels in Manhattan) and the size is good for 4 guests. We made our breakfast in room with complimentary good coffee and tea. The shuttle car from the hotel will drive the guests within one mile around the area where the "Greenpoint" subway station just minutes away from Manhattan. Fantastic hotel and I wish they can keep up the great ratings for many years to come.
