Hotel RL Brooklyn

This hotel is conveniently located between 2 subway stations and multiple bus stops for getting around Brooklyn and elsewhere. However, you will hear trains barreling by all day and night. The staff is very friendly and there is complimentary coffee and fruit-infused water in the lobby. The sleeping rooms are ok. They feature beds that are kinda on the firm side and not long enough blankets. There is a see-through to the room shower. VaVa Voom. There's also a microwave, but no fridge. The rooms are kinda small, but that's probably how it goes in the area.also, there is no recreational facility, as advertised on the website. Download a day pass for Planet Fitness a half mile away, if you’d like a gym.

Cozy and warm neighborhood coworking space with lots of room and tables and complementary water and coffee. Nice music was playing as well. It’s part of a hotel I believe as well. I hope to be back to cowork in the future!

On the afternoon we were to checkin they cancelled our reservation. Found out when our plane landed. Travel agent said they must of over booked. Would recommend to anyone to avoid this hotel. They should of given at least a days not so that we could rebook somewhere else!

I booked this hotel for two nights in mid-June at the end of April. Upon arrival late in the evening, I was greeted by a security guard who told me that the hotel had been turned into a shelter for the homeless three weeks before. Never received information from the hotel about this - all they could be bothered to do was put up a notice next to the entrance that the hotel was "closed due to unforeseen circumstances". The security guard told me that all bookings had been carried over to a nearby Holiday Inn Express. Upon arrival there, the receptionist was only rolling her eyes and told me that this was not the case and the security guards were simply making stuff up to get rid off angry customers. The HIX had no availability so I spent an hour (and a fortune for overseas calls) on the phone to contact ********** where I had made the booking. They were able to assist and found me a hotel room in Lower Manhattan which they reserved and paid for. Had to trek from Brooklyn to Manhattan around midnight, though, which is nothing for the faint-hearted particularly at the Brooklyn end (when I asked at the HIX about alternative local hotels, the girl just shrugged and said there were non - only shelters in the area....) While hotels are keen to cut out the middle-men like Expedia/hotels.com, this case showed that it can pay off to not book directly with a hotel. ********** did all they could to assist me and where genuinely concerned to find a solution. Should this place ever open again as a hotel, I strongly recommend not to book directly with them as they absolutely do not care about their customers.

NO STARS. this place is closed and is now a shelter. No notice to travelers, Do not book a room here!!!!!! Reservations were not made at another hotel. Not sure why this hotel is still listed when it is closed. DO NOT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I showed up for a one night stay on Saturday May 27- 4:00 PM. I was told the hotel had been turned into a shelter and all reservations cancelled. No prior notice. I book in early May. And I can’t imagine that neighborhood at night.
