Resort fee is a bit too much. Especially if only two small bottles of water offered at check in. Kitchen is missing microwave, potholders/oven mitts, ice tray to make ice in freezer. Location is perfect. Too bad restaurant Madre only open Wednesday-Saturday.

Great room in Brooklyn!

Stayed at this hotel for a wedding we had to go to in Brooklyn. It was super spacious and overall a nice hotel. For NYC, we were shocked with how much room we got, and we didn't even get any crazy fancy suite. The staff was really nice to work with and the hotel was in walking distance to the subway, which was great. The area around the hotel was nice. Heck, the groom of the wedding was regretting not booking with this hotel due to the sheer size of the suite for the price.

Hot water did not turn on, front desk was really no help at all and told us “it takes a while to turn on” and that maintenance had already left for the day (did not even offer to switch our room)

Too expensive for the value

The room was comfortable, but for what this hotel offered the cost is extremely high. We will never stay there again.

Spacious Rooms in Greenpoint

Spacious rooms in northwestern Greenpoint with plenty of free, on-street parking nearby. Building was clean and well managed, and room would have been great for a short or a longer stay.

A Stay for an Experience and Overall Comfort

The stay at Franklin Guesthouse was perfect. The room definitely gave the feel of staying in an apartment. It felt like you were home. The amenities included within your room were more than a standard hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful when finding something within the area (i.e. restaurants, stores, etc.). I would consider staying here again when I visit the area in the future.

Spacious, quiet room for being in NY! Staff at front desk was helpful. Shower facet was not working properly--frustrating to take a boiling hot shower. Otherwise 5/5.
