We absolutely loved our stay at the NU Hotel in Brooklyn.
The location was perfect. There were restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, so we visited many of those. It's also only a few blocks to the subway to go into Manhattan, which made it very convenient to go into the city. We came back at night several times, and I never felt unsafe coming back to our hotel.
After reading the reviews from others, I was concerned about both the construction and the breakfast at NU Hotel. Our room was directly across from the construction site, and I don't know if they just weren't doing anything overly noisy during our stay -- but with the sound of the air conditioner, I didn't even hear the construction noise at all. A couple of times, I looked out to see if they were even working that day.
I also thought the breakfast was fine -- there were simple things like boiled eggs, bagels with lunch meat and cheese, fresh fruit (oranges and bananas). The coffee was great.
Parking was simple with being next door.
Overall, I was extremely happy with our stay at NU Hotel, I would most definitely stay again when coming to Brooklyn.
