Our first stay in NYC-Brooklyn - hotel was in our price range - area was great , found a local park with a beach , loved driving around Brooklyn - hotel looked good up front, but is not ready for prime-time , hotel is not recommended - no elevator , no luggage carts , no ice machines , no microwaves available (room or guest areas) - found stains on the bed sheets the next morning (could be lipstick, could be blood) - had to pay for parking in the hotel lot - the lack of amenities made the stay uncomfortable for travelers
