The hype
Great location for getting around, but the property feels neglected and the amenities are a mirage.
Sheraton Brooklyn New York
$150-300/ noche
Reserva esto si You need a functional, transit-rich base in Downtown Brooklyn and plan to spend zero time in the hotel.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Subway nirvana: A, C, F, R, 2, 3 trains are practically downstairs
- Walkable to Barclays Center and DeKalb Market Hall
- Cheaper than Manhattan but only 15 minutes away
Resumen rápido: A tired corporate sleeper that rents out its own pool to a swim school so you can't use it.
Reseñado por @willianaashley: I booked a solo weekend here just to recharge and honestly, it was perfect. Seeing my name on the TV and watching the rain fall over Brooklyn from that huge window felt like such a main character moment. The bed is super plush too.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
Guests are consistently furious about the 'indoor pool' listed on third-party sites being inaccessible.
- You are attending an event at Barclays Center
- You prioritize subway access over room comfort
- You just need a bed and a shower for a business trip
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Many reports of missed trash and 'light' cleaning only.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout often looks tired; check drains for hair. Not 'sparkling'.
- Maintenance: Peeling wallpaper and scuffed furniture are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Standard industrial quality, but check for stains immediately.
- Odors & scents: Hallways can smell musty or like 'old carpet'.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the pool actually open for guests?
Practically, no. It is rented to 'Take Me To The Water' swim school. Guests rarely, if ever, get access.
Does the hotel have a free breakfast?
No. Breakfast is a la carte at Avere Ristorante and costs ~$20-30 per person.
Is there a Club Lounge?
Yes, but reviews describe it as sad—often just coffee, water, and pretzels, with no real food service.
How much is parking?
Valet is steep (often quoted $60-75). Use a parking app to find a garage on Bridge St for ~$30/day.
Is it safe at night?
Generally yes, Downtown Brooklyn is busy, but Duffield St can feel a bit gritty late at night. Stick to main avenues.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it is pet-friendly, but expect a non-refundable pet fee (around $150).
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast; 'Junior's' is a short walk for legendary cheesecake and breakfast.
- ✨
The 'A' train at Jay St-MetroTech gets you to JFK Airport relatively easily.
- ✨
Check the AC unit immediately; if it rattles, ask to move rooms before unpacking.
