Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Worth the money. Clean and beds were comfy. It's not an upscale hotel, but we knew that before we stayed. It met our needs for the night. Walking distance from our garage and Barclays Center. I would absolutely stay again and would recommend this place.
Negative: The beds were a bit small and the elevator was super sketchy. Still worth the price.
Summary: Def worth the price
