Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location is great. I have stayed at the Brooklyn before.
Negative: The property has really gone down since the last time I stayed there. The toilet ran all night, we had to keep raising the hood to make sure that the tank was filling up properly. The elevator made you feel as if it was going to get stuck between floors. Really not a good bang for the bucks you are charged to stay there.
