I had mixed feelings about my stay at the Holiday Inn Express Brooklyn. While the location is convenient, especially being close to the subway and various local eateries, I encountered issues with noise and cleanliness in my room. The staff were friendly and attentive, which was a definite plus, but it didn't fully compensate for the lack of quality in my overall experience.

My stay at Holiday Inn Express Brooklyn had its highs and lows. The friendly staff made me feel welcome, and I appreciated the spacious room.

I had a pretty decent stay at Holiday Inn Express in Brooklyn. The location was definitely a win for me, just a block away from the subway, which made getting around super easy. While the room was on the smaller side, it was clean and had everything I needed. On the downside, the breakfast area got really crowded, and I had to wait a bit for a table. Overall, it was a solid experience, although there's room for improvement.

My stay at Holiday Inn Express Brooklyn was overall pleasant, particularly for the budget it offered compared to Manhattan. The location was pretty convenient, just a short walk from the subway, although my room was located in the basement with no views. The staff, while mostly friendly, had a few who were less engaging, and I found breakfast options somewhat limited for my dietary preferences.

My stay at Holiday Inn Express Brooklyn was quite mixed. While the daytime staff were really good, particularly Oscar Perez at the front desk, my experience was marred by a noisy situation with neighbors that the night staff handled poorly. The rooms were immaculate, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was fantastic, but I wouldn't return due to the issues I faced at night.

Rooms
