The latest entry into the crowded Gowanus hotel field will be a Super 8 on the corner of President Street and 3rd Avenue. The building’s looked fairly complete for awhile now, and according to a rep from Wyndham Hotel Group (Super 8 is a Wyndham brand), it’s “tentatively” scheduled to open on June 29th. No word yet on room rates. GMAP

  1. Just because Le Blue has a fancy french name doesn’t mean super 8 will be any less nice.

    Le Blue and Le Jolie (in the burg) are pretty much the same quality of a super 8/holiday inn etc. Not saying that’s bad, but it is what it is.

  2. “(and it is often empty – I can see it from my home)”

    You can see inside the hotel’s rooms and tell it’s “empty” from your home?

    I think it wont be so easy for a Super 8 to “Easily” fill the place up at a price north of $100;

    OK, we can wait until a month after it opens, and I’ll check the rate and report back. We’ll see.

  3. If Le Blue is at $200 a night (and it is often empty – I can see it from my home) then I think it wont be so easy for a Super 8 to “Easily” fill the place up at a price north of $100; and this is before tons of new rooms come online all over the area.

  4. ENY – virtually all these Motels were built in the last 5 years that means that it cost a minimum of $150-$200 per sq ft to build- plus the land costs which could have ranged from $50-$100 per buildable foot. I dont care what kind of tax incentives, ikea furniture, slave labor or green energy they are using – you simply cannot make any real $ on less than $100 a night and even then you’d need near full occupancy…..

  5. This hotel will do well if it is priced correctly. I live close to a similar shitbox off the beaten trail hotel and it does well due to parental visitors of people in the neighborhood and tourists who are a little more “in the know” and don’t need to stay in a times square hotel.
