Solid place and value if you can’t afford a stay in Manhattan. Subway is a short walk. We spent most of our time exploring NY for the first time. Easy detailed check in. 3 level layer of security with locks and doors. Front, stairs, and room. Other guests were respectable. Brooklyn can be intimidating if it’s your first time, but people were nice. Police department nearby and presence in neighborhood. Common room was cozy and quaint. It’s NY, you’re gonna hear sirens outside at night and some noise but nothing out of the ordinary. We enjoyed our stay.
