Shower was awesome and loved having pump bottle soaps in the shower. Parking was very convenient, reasonably priced and very near the property. Many places to eat and buy necessary items. Could use more hooks for hanging towels and clothing items. We really like this place.

Convenient location and a compact/efficient room for a good price. If you’re looking for lots of space look elsewhere. We just needed a place to sleep, so it worked great. There was definitely an odd trash smell on the first floor and lots of noise. Try to get a room on a higher floor.

This fits the bill for a short stay in Gowanus / Brooklyn. Easy access, super nice staff, very clean, quiet. Area is a mix of industrial and fun. Shower is a bit dysfunctional. Room is small but very well laid out.

The only reason I am not giving a higher overall rating is because of the bathrooms. There's a reason they aren't pictured in the listing. The showers are barely functional. Why would you build a shower around a post that takes up 1/3 of it and makes it practically unusable? Other than that I WOULD still recommend this property if you're looking for a convenient, clean, safe, affordable place to stay. It's certainly not a five star hotel but it worked great for everything else I needed.
