Blogger Transfer ponders the dearth of hotels in downtown Brooklyn:

Why does nearside Brooklyn only have one Hotel? Where do all those parents stay when visiting their South Brooklyn dwelling Oberlin grad kids… Well the Marriot is building 28 more stories of overpriced (yes, $210/night for Downtown Brooklyn, monopoly is a beautiful thing, Mom) chain experience.

According to New York Construction, the hotel is indeed in the process of a $77 million, 24-story, 190,000-square-foot expansion that will almost double room capacity from 376 to 656. Ian Schrager can’t be far behind.
