Tiny room with weird design choices
Well, we didn’t realize that we booked a micro pod of a room. It was the last available room. We arrived to find a modern shoebox of a space. Some odd design choices made what would have otherwise been a functional space. The wall shelving over the sink made it impossible to wash your face and the water kept shooting out onto the room if you weren’t really careful. The shower was ridiculous. It was a very narrow rectangle and had a massive column in the middle of it. To go from the shower side to the side with conditioner, etc, you had to turn sideways. The rain shower head was hot and powerful but given the tiny space it got the bathroom soaking wet and you felt like you might drown. The lobby and other common areas were pretty shabby looking and the elevator smelled like roach spray.

It's just that stupid sink
The tiny room, tiny fridge no microwave would've fine except for the ridiculous tiny sink with oversized faucet and shelf just above keeping you from leaning over. Impossible to not get your feet wet as it splashed over the rim. We got there early and planned to use the lockers in the lobby but the woman at the desk let us get right into our room at 11 instead of 4, so I give the staff 5 stars. Everyone was friendly and the room seemed to block outside noise.

Great Prospect Park-area option
Bare bones but comfy bedding, a big light window, super clean shower and sweet little sink. Very safe feeling. Thumbs up.

At Home in Brooklyn
I always stay here when I come to New York. Best location - convenient to Prospect Park & the Union St Subway. Great pizza and bbq steps away. Good lobby for working and visiting, The people are the desk are so kind and helpful. It's kind of like having a little studio in the City. We always feel at home.

Step Above a Hostel
The concept is interesting. The app shows beautiful photos..the hotel looks nothing like them. It was easy to check in and basic accommodations but overall feels like a step above a hostel. The “lobby” was a front area that smelled pretty bad and had a cabinet so toilet paper and a chalk board with nearby coffee/food options. No music playing or decor or environment, just odd. I honestly think something may be dead in the wall like a squirrel/rat. I almost bought room spray. You can hear EVERYTHING in your room, every door shutting, people using a communal microwave in the lobby, and all the construction happening right next door. I know they can’t help construction but it was unfortunate. No water in rooms or vending machines. It was as basic as it gets. If it was super cheap I would get it, but I wished I had booked elsewhere for the price.

I thought the accommodations were generally sub-par for the price of the hotel. The room's sink was poorly designed; it was impossible to wash one's hands or face without water splashing onto the floor. There was no guidance on room amenities, such as where to find the ironing board. Finally, the air conditioning on my floor stopped working overnight. Despite Sonder requiring use of its app to access the hotel, there was no communication via the app that the AC had stopped working and no reimbursement or credit to make up for the inconvenience. I wouldn't stay here again.

Works well
Takes time to register. Key etc in your phone. Small rooms, but works well as a budget alternative. Not a bad option at all, considering ending up in friendly Park Slope, Brooklyn.
