Still convenient, but needs urgent care
Pros:

The hotel keeps Sonder's perfect location for those who need/want stay in LIC, like me. It's less than 100ft from Court Sq station (7/E/F/G trains) and a Trader Joe's. For those who love to walk, 15 minutes walk from Central Park.

Cons:

For those who knew Sonder (I did), Belvilla District 6 is a bit disappointing. It seems they have re-opened Sonder without much care to details, cleaning and conservation. The room is still spacious, it has the same conveniences Sonder had, but it's frozen in time, as if it was closed and abandoned for years, and then re-opened AS IS. Cleaning, consumables, tableware, carpet, shower curtains... everything is sub-par, partially missing or (very) worn.

So much trash in the lobby
Pros:

The location is the only good part

Cons:

The fact they hide a $35 fee not in the fee section, but in the fine print. Total douche move.

残念ですが、今まで滞在したホテルで最低でした。人には勧めることはできません。改良の余地が相当あります。
Pros:

部屋は普通である。

Cons:

全てコンピューター制御している人間のいないホテルであることをまずは宣伝の前面に明確に大きく記す
必要がある。人間が受付に常駐しないと問題が多発するホテルであり、多くの客が迷惑していた。

Needs updates and repairs
Pros:

The location was convenient if you are going to the US Open since you do not have to do any transfers and it is a 30 minute ride. The fridge was also not tiny so if you buy groceries for a few days, they will fit. The microwave and stovetop were also useful. The AC was nice. We were able to put our bags in the luggage lockers, but that was only because we happen to get let in and the girl in the office was there. I wouldn't bank on being able to do this before or after you arrive.

Cons:

One of the chairs in the room was stained, there was water damage to the bathroom door, the shelf in the bathroom was barely hanging on, there was also a piece of tape on the wall indicating there should be a mirror in the bathroom, and they gave us three pillows that were small and flat. The floor lamp did not work and lastly we were not allowed to check-in early at all but then housekeepers were knocking on our door at 10:30am and again at 10:50am asking if we were leaving. If they are so strict about check-in time, they need to respect the checkout time and not bother guests until 11am. For what we paid, this studio was not worth it.

Séjour fortement perturbé par le bruit des trains, les travaux et les odeurs désagréables.
Pros:

L’appartement avec ses deux chambres convenait à notre famille de quatre personnes et les lits étaient confortables. La situation géographique était pratique pour visiter New York et l’appartement correspondait globalement aux photos présentées dans l’annonce.

Cons:

L’appartement était extrêmement bruyant, avec des trains passant très fréquemment et très près du bâtiment pendant la journée et circulant également la nuit, ainsi que des travaux de construction directement en face de l’appartement. Nous avons également subi des odeurs désagréables et une mauvaise ventilation, et des frais supplémentaires de 140 USD (35 USD par nuit pour les séjours de moins de 7 nuits) nous ont été demandés au moment du check-in afin d’obtenir les codes d’accès, alors que nous pensions que notre séjour avait déjà été entièrement payé via Booking.com et que ces frais supplémentaires n’étaient pas clairement inclus dans le prix de la réservation. Malgré le signalement de ces problèmes pendant notre séjour et notre demande de changer pour un appartement plus calme, aucune solution adaptée ne nous a été proposée.

Cons:

It smelled horrible and the floors were sticky. Overall it felt dirty and I was sent to a customer service rep that was in a different country and had no connection to the actual building to take care of the smell.
