Overall, it was a solid experience, although there's room for improvement.

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.
