Rooms relatively large, well appointed (eg plenty of space for clothes), illuminated makeup mirror and in excellent condition. Also good value (through Expedia) for the location. Breakfast was free/included and the components were just what we wanted - fruit, yogurt, cheese etc

Pros. The hotel is at the heart of Brooklyn, conveniently located at the crossroads of Smith St. and Atlantic Ave. Smith St. has Main Street vibes and upscale bakeries and restaurants. Walkable to the Transit Museum and Brooklyn Borough Hall. Breakfast is filling and the rooms are clean. Cons. The bed has pretensions of being a waterbed. Any movement has a ripple effect. Worst. Bed. Ever. If you are not alone. No exhaust in the bathroom and it stinks when used.

Standleigh, who was our host at the desk, was absolutely phenomenal. He made it so easy for us to shoot some interviews for a film we were doing and he could not have been more hospitable. I can't say enough great things about him. The NU Hotel should take very good care of him because he would be a star anywhere he worked.
