StreetLevel: 3rd Avenue Super 8 Actually Opening?

super%208%2012-09.JPG
Last week big Super 8 signage went up on the hotel-to-be at President and 3rd Avenue. The building has looked complete for the better part of a year, and back in May a Super 8 rep said its opening was imminent. Perhaps the new signs mean it will actually be in business at some point soon, though the property is still not listed on Super 8's website. When it does open it'll be the fourth Gowanus-area hotel in operation. Two others are under construction and there are four additional sites nearby where hotels are planned but construction is either stalled or hasn't begun.

I've walked by a bunch: just make sure you never, ever, get stuck in one of the basement rooms whose windows face the parking lot at bumper-level - especially the next time it rains & the gowanus 'water' starts creeping its way up the hill...

It takes you a whole hour? Not what I heard. That you were a minute man.

BOD, what's your going rate?

Posted by: Kensingtonian at December 8, 2009 3:50 PM

more than likely those are heat pumps. Individually heated/cooled rooms. So you don't heat them/cool them when they are vacant.

Actually, it's the nicest looking motel in all of Gowanus.

of course motel/hotel rates vary widely depending on day, time of year but you can get super 8 rooms in NYC (LIC and JFK area) for under $100, and some days it is over $200 (new years eve).
