Comfort Inn Brooklyn Bridge: Still Ugly, Now Open

The hotel’s website notes that it’s in walking distance from BAM (though the stroll up 3rd Avenue isn’t the most scenic trail Brooklyn has to offer), while the Times mentions that the hotel’s location is “near the site of the proposed Atlantic Yards complex.” Rates start at $179. — KZ
Comfort Inn To Open In All Its Ugliness [Brownstoner]

would the person suggesting “boerum hill” as a possibility pls advise me where “the hill” is? i ask because my doctor says walking hills is good for cardiovascular fitness.
waaaaa might be a wiseass or s/he might remember when “brownstone” brooklyn very rarely included bed-stuy. i wonder why that was?
question: what’s not “scenic” about 3rd avenue? too many rich white professionals or something else?
Since I am not rich, and can’t afford first class amenities when I travel, I just want my hotel room to be clean, safe, and decently comfortable. I’m not going there to hang out, it’s only a place to sleep, and then leave to be a tourist, or spend the night on the way to somewhere else.
While certainly not the Ritz, or even the Marriott, this fits the bill. Hotels in NYC are stupidly expensive, so I think this one will do fine, no matter how unattractive 3rd Ave is.
waaaaa
it doesn’t look like my brownstone mansion
nothing’s more brooklyn than my brownstone mansion (and mos def of course)
waaaaa
10.30. oh my god weird location phrasing. It is the end.
From the NYTimes: “The hotel — at 279 Butler Street, near Third Avenue and between the Cobble Hill and Park Slope neighborhoods.”
Isn’t Butler at 3rd Ave Boerum Hill? Why the weird location phrasing (“between Cobble Hill and Park Slope”)? Seems like it’s either Gowanus or Boerum Hill.
I mean, really, what were you expecting the in and outside of a Comfort In to look like? Have you been anywhere in the USA except NYC?
Pretty much what this motels, hotels, inns whatever you want to call them look like. New, clean, sterile – exactly what a traveler is looking for.
And this is on a block that probably 98% of Brownstoners readers have never been on and have no reason to go to and ugly as sin anyway.
Since not great location – they will charge rates that are bit less than better locations and do fine. NYC hotels rates are very very high – and anything that an average tourist can afford will do fine.
Who cares about the overnight rate: how much by the hour?
Oh nevermind, it is a different location but almost identical looking building. Must be good money in hotels that are practically vending machines.
Shouldn’t that be holiday inn gowanus?
I did a rate check for a week in september and was quoted $279 per night minimum. Ridiculous price.
