This hotel is almost new! It's in a super convenient location to access most of Brooklyn and is a very short drive to LaGuardia airport. It was very clean. I would have given it 5 stars except for two minor complaints. The wait for the elevators was, at times, very long, but that's a minor complaint. I was not happy that I was asked if I needed garage parking and I said yes. I think I should have been told that there was plenty of free on-street parking surrounding the hotel, if I wanted that option, before shelling out $44 per night for a wide open garage. I'm not against making money on parking, but give the guest an educated choice first.
