Affordable Hotel or B&B near Ft. Greene
My parents will be stopping through for a night next weekend and I need a place for them to stay as my place is too small. I’ve been looking for hotels in the area, but they all seem crazy expensive.
The Mariott at the Bk bridge is $429 a night (!?)
The Days Inn is farther than they want to stay, and looks scary to them (they are from the ‘burbs)
The Holiday Inn Express is $288 a night
I found Regina’s B&B on Ft Greene Pl but there is a 3 night stay minimum.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Ideally something around 150$ would be great… I think they would really like a local B&B if I could find one that would take them for only one night.

I recently discovered www.harmonycity.com. They do vacation sublets all over new york. I had relatives from italy visiting, and we got them an apartment on the upper east side for $750 for the week. They have places in brooklyn too. There is also a Kosher hotel somewhere in sunset park I think that is reasonably priced.

I had heard of this place as well, but when I went to their website http://www.saddledown.com/ it says they are closed for now. :(

There is a cute Bed and Breakfast on my block in Stuy Heights (Macdonough Street between Lewis and Stuyvesant). It is called the Akwaaba Mansion. I have never been inside but the pics look nice.

There are a bunch of bed and breakfasts in the surrounding neighborhoods in Brooklyn. A google search will turn up at least 6.

It's one night. Give 'em a sleeping bag and a floor.

Also check out homeaway.com
They are local apartments that operate as a B&B. My friends have one and you can stay by the night or the week, all furnished with your own kitchen and bath.

Seriously, one night? Do you have an aerobed? Invest in a queen size one and you're set. They're your parents after all. I never understood the whole hotel thing with your own parents.

I just checked out homeaway.com ... the Park Slope places appear to be very nice, and very reasonably priced... and OP, they allow one night stays.
( my family will be heading this way soon too!)

Spencer Place B&B is right by the Franklin Ave C train stop. My parents stayed there for the weekend in April and thought it was fine. I think it was about $100 a night. It's a brownstone run by a family who lives there too.

Let them stay in your place, and you can stay with a friend, or on the floor

i stayed in the Baisley House B and B (alas nearly 2 years ago now) run by the wonderful Harry - I recommend it...
earlier this year I stayed at http://www.escapeguesthouse.com/ again a wonderful gem on Bergen between Hoyt and Bond

Good grief. You can't sleep on the couch for one night and give your parents your bed?Now I see why some people leave all there money and belongings to the cat or dog.

Sad that your parents aren't even worth a couple of hundred bucks to you or you rather not sacrifice your own bed. I bet you have their nursing home picked out already.
