While not a hotel near an airport, it provides proximity to public transportation for city exploration.

Modern & Compact Rooms

Rooms include large picture windows welcoming natural light and overlook green courtyards. The 110-square-foot Queen Pod+ provides extra space with a workspace and rainfall shower.

Four roof decks provide views of the Manhattan skyline, and free Pod Bikes allow exploration of Williamsburg. The rooftop terrace and garden offer relaxation, while seasonal PodFit classes are available. The hotel is pet-friendly and features a 24-hour front desk.

Work & Convenience Services

The mezzanine level serves as a work/lounge space with complimentary WiFi and concierge services. Featured amenities include dry cleaning, multilingual staff, and baggage storage. The property caters to individual traveler needs with efficient, fun, and affordable spaces.

“This property understands how to create a sense of community; the design, art, and lighting all contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, and the rooms, while small, are smartly designed for efficient use. I think it's a standout choice among Brooklyn's budget-friendly options, particularly appreciating the rooftop bar and its custom cocktails. Renovations were underway during my review, which should ultimately enhance what is already a favorite.”

decent option with a few drawbacks

early check-in convenient location restricted room noisy ventilation

I enjoyed the early check-in. I could settle in after my travels. the location proved convenient with easy access to nearby attractions. the staff held my luggage after checkout, allowing me to explore without carrying bags. plus, the room's cleanliness stood out, which i appreciated.

The room size felt restrictive. It was hard to move around with my luggage. i found the ventilation system noisy. It disrupted sleep early in the morning.

closed food area long wait

I found the food area was closed. Outside areas also had signs posted and were not accessible, this was a frustration. The toilet didn't flush upon arrival, it was fixed quickly. The shower took five minutes for the water to warm. I do not appreciate wait times.
