The unique chamber concept, which smartly divides living and sleeping areas, offers a refreshing alternative to standard hotel layouts. However, some may find the proximity to the L train a bit intrusive, depending on room placement.”

Really good Experience!
attentive staff comfortable bed perfect location
The staff was very attentive! They were also kind! The bed was super comfy. The location is also perfect, just a few minutes from downtown. I really enjoyed the free drink tickets offered. The rooftop had great drinks!
The hotel didn't clean the rooms every day! Some installations needed a little work, too.
