very good value if you are looking for an apartment type setting and don't need hotel type services.
Pros:

Spacious room size. Good location if you are looking to be in financial district.

Cons:

noise level. Not all equipment worked well. They advertisement suggest it is a hotel, but it really is a Corp type apartment building. Not offering all features of a hotel.

Great staff but would not recommend this hotel
Pros:

My experiences with all the staff were great - everyone I spoke to was very helpful in addressing my issues and making my stay as comfortable as possible. It was clear they were doing their best to make up for the many problems the facility was experiencing.

Cons:

I want to preface this by saying I don't normally write reviews, but felt I had to in this case as I have never been this disappointed by the standards of a facility that cost this much. For the duration of my stay, the AC would repeatedly stop working and have to be manually restarted. The staff were very helpful with this, and even showed me how to restart it myself, which I ended up having to do every morning when woken up due to the heat. Granted, I was visiting New York during a heatwave, and this may not be an issue during cooler periods or for those who run cold, but I know numerous guests were experiencing the same issue as I heard 2 other guests complain about this while I was checking in. Other smaller issues I had included incredibly low water pressure in the shower, bad smell coming from shower drain, flies in the shower room and dirt on the "clean" towels. I want to emphasize that this was no fault at all of the staff, who were very helpful, but the building infrastructure was clearly either very old or poorly managed.

Uzun kalacaksam tekrar tercih edebilirim
Pros:

Tesisin konumu Financial District bölgesinde ve Brooklyn tarafındaki birçok yere yürüyerek ulaşılabiliyor. Hemen yanında metro istasyonu olması da ulaşımı oldukça kolaylaştırıyor.
Oda gerçekten çok temizdi. Konaklamam sırasında bir kez ekstra temizlik talep ettim ve onu da oldukça özenli şekilde yaptılar. Otelin çevresinde birçok restoran, kafe ve market bulunuyor.
Otelin bulunduğu sokakta ve çevresinde sürekli olarak evsiz insanlarla var ama bu genel olarak New York’un birçok bölgesinde var. Buna rağmen, şifreli giriş sistemi sayesinde otel güvenli hissettiriyordu.
Genel olarak otelin temizliğinden oldukça memnun kaldım ve oda New York standartlarına göre gerçekten büyüktü.

The property is located in the financial district and most places around Brooklyn are within walking distance. There is a subway station right next to it so transportation is very easy. The room was very clean. During my stay, I asked for a housekeeping once and they did an excellent job as well. There are many restaurants and shops around the hotel. There wasn’t a single day when I didn’t see homeless people in front of or next to the hotel, but that’s generally the case everywhere in New York. The password-protected entrance makes the hotel feel safe. It was genuinely a very clean place and the room was genuinely quite spacious by New York standards.

Cons:

Rezervasyonum 1 çift kişilik yatak ve 1 çekyat bulunan, 3 kişi için belirtilmiş bir oda içindi. Otele check-in saatinden önce vardık ancak odanın hala temizlendiği söylenerek 16.00’dan önce giriş yapamayacağımız belirtildi. Sonrasında ise resepsiyondaki yoğunluk ve sistemdeki şifre ile mailde gönderilen şifrenin uyuşmaması gibi sorunlar nedeniyle 16.30’a kadar check-in yapamadık.
10 saatlik uçuşun ve 16.30’a kadar oda beklemenin ardından üçümüz de odaya çıkıp dinlenmek istedik. Ancak çekyat açılmamıştı bile, hala normal koltuk şeklindeydi. Ayrıca çekyat için hiçbir çarşaf ya da yastık da bırakılmamıştı. Durumu bildirmek için lobiye indim fakat bir saatten uzun süre boyunca ne gelen oldu ne de bir şey getirildi.
Bir saat sonra tekrar aşağı inip, rezervasyonun 3 kişi için yapıldığını ve odanın temizlenip hazır olduğu söylendiğini, buna rağmen çekyatın neden hazırlanmadığını sorduğumda bilmediklerini söylediler. Resepsiyondaki kadın ikinci kattaki temizlik odasına kendisinin bakacağını söyledi ve ben tekrar odama çıktım.
Yaklaşık 20-25 dakika sonra kapım çaldı ve kapı koluna asılmış, içinde çarşaflar bulunan kocaman bir poşet bırakıldığını gördüm. Kapıyı gerçekten 10 saniye içinde açtım ama ortada muhattabım kimse yoktu.
10 saatlik bir uçuşun ve saatlerce oda beklemenin ardından, bu kadar para ödediğim ve temizlenip hazır olduğu söylenen bir odada çekyatı neden kendim açıp yatağı neden kendim açıp yatağı neden kendim hazırlıyorum?
Ayrıca buzdolabı kapısı kırıktı ama ertesi gün tamir için geldiler. Odadaki kasanın bazı tuşları çok sert basmanıza rağmen çalışmıyordu. Bunun tamiri için de birini gönderdiler ama sonrasında da durum aynı gibiydi.

My reservation was for a room with one double bed and a sofa bed, clearly stated for 3 guests. We arrived at the hotel before check-in time, but were told we could not check in until 4:00 PM because the room was still being cleaned.

Definitely booking again!
Pros:

Great location and unit!! Everything was very clean and worked perfectly. The bed even slept pretty good especially considering I have had back surgery. We also thoroughly enjoyed the full kitchen with silverware, plates, etc. You absolutely cannot beat how nice the building/units are especially combined with how spacious the units are.

Cons:

It was a little hard to get additional towels/bedding but I would suggest making the request at check in since there are only 2 towels sets in a unit. They will bring them though but needs to be during housekeeping hours during the day and ordered in advance.
