Very good location and quiet area! Price was high for the amenities.
Pros:

Location was fabulous! Space was large! Access to local area was amazing!

Cons:

Would have liked a comfortable chair or couch to relax in. There was definitely room! Only the bed and 2 metal chairs at the round table were available for seating.

Wonderful with one caveat
Pros:

The room was lovely, spacious and clean and bright. Staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The location was great, within easy walking distance of both the subway and the ferry to Manhattan. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Cons:

I'd thought that the kitchen, which has a full-size refrigerator and oven, would enable me to cook meals instead of eating out. But there were few utensils, no paper towels, no basics (salt, pepper, tin foil) and only one dishcloth. (No microwave either.) Maybe I've just been spoiled by staying in vacation rentals which usually supply the basics. I can't fault the hotel, but be aware that you'll need to do some shopping if you plan to stay a few days.

Goede locatie, erg duur voor wat je krijgt.
Pros:

De locatie

Cons:

De slaapbank. Het is echt onmogelijk om daar met z’n tweetjes in te slapen. Ze hadden een tweede 1 persoons bed wat $50 per nacht extra zou kosten. Na overleg hebben we die gratis gekregen.
De Airco is enorme unit die enorm veel herrie maakt.

Cosy and good value but pick the top floor!
Pros:

Feels like an NYC apartment more than a hotel. Convenient and cosy and comfortable, with kitchenette handy for longer stays.

Cons:

All of the ground floor and lower level rooms are very dark. Interior views and very little natural light.

This is a predatory business. Stay away from it!
Cons:

You can see i am disgruntled. Last November I had to cancel my reservation (2 nights) because of my son's death. The management would not reimburse me, but promised me credit for a later stay. That was a lie. Three months later i checked in assuming that i had a reservation for 2 nights, but after the first night i was told, rather unceremoniously that i should either leave or pay 500$(!) for another night. Setting aside the ridiculous overprice for such a mediocre accommodation (i think a rate of 100$ per night would be too generous for what they offer) i was struck by the callous attitude of the management. I think businesses such as this should be put out of business as soon as possible. You can help to do this.

It’s a quirky boutique hotel in a nice neighborhood.
Pros:

Love the hardwood floors for cleanliness and it’s a unique hotel. The restaurant is excellent and the gym is well equipped. The details are well thought out, down to the way they fold the towels! 😎

Cons:

Can’t think of anything.

The best location. But your room will either be awesome or horrible.
Pros:

I love Green Point. I love Franklin Street. This position is amazing. We had 2 separate bookings and we paid for the same room both times. We stayed in two different rooms. One- a large room on the ground floor was brilliant. Super comfortable king sized bed. Massive bathroom. Spacious. Beyond expectations. The second room was small- average for New York - but had a double bed that was the most old, and uncomfortable I have ever slept on. Or didn't sleep on actually.

Cons:

One room was amazing. One the worst. In my review I tried to split the difference. But unless i could ensure I had a bed I could sleep on, I would never go back. And I don't know the secret to get one of the newer beds/ bigger rooms.

A great choice if you are planning to spend time in Williamsburg / Greenpoint
Pros:

Our room was a suite, so it was large, with a kitchenette. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small but fine. Air conditioning worked well. The hotel has a small gym - quite basic but perfectly adequate for a short stay

Cons:

there was no view - there was a wall about two feet from the window. The hotel's entrance lobby is small and a little rudimentary. There is a single lift (so occasional delays) and guests are asked only to use the stairs in emergency (a shame as there are only a couple of floors). But the pros materially outweigh the cons
