Hotels in Brooklyn

[Anonymous]

Looking for a kid-friendly hotel in Brooklyn with connecting rooms and/or a suite with two separate rooms. Not sure of neighborhood but convenient to the south part of Brooklyn. Would be great if there was a playground or park and some food nearby, too. Any recommendations for hotel or neighborhood to target?

Where will you be spending most of your time and how will you be getting around? There are a bunch in the downtown Brooklyn area, or further down in sunset park if that's where you mean by South Brooklyn.

Farther south but I’ll check out Sunset Park. Any particular places?

Outside of downtown Brooklyn and Williamsburg, Brooklyn is a total hotel desert. Cheap Comfort Inns and La Quintas scattered around, but I would be very surprised to find a nice hotel with everything you’re looking for in the area you want. It’s one of the more annoying things about living in Brooklyn. My family always stay in Manhattan when they visit.

I loved staying in the Ace hotel in a lovely part of Boerum Hill. Close to BAm and just a quick subway ride or longer walk to the Brooklyn museum, prospect park, etc.

Agree there are very few hotel options in Brooklyn other than near the East River, downtown, or the Barclays Center. There are still a few Airbnbs after the NYC rule changes, but not many. If you are driving to Brooklyn and willing to drive within Brooklyn, I recommend Franklin Guesthouse in Greenpoint as an option. They have studio suites with kitchenettes and it's right by the river and the ferry. There are small parks and many restaurants. You can fairly easily park on the street in this area and then just drive further south in Brooklyn, where you should also be able to park on the street. 1Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is great and they have valet parking, but this is definitely a higher price point.

It’s tough because Brooklyn is a hotel desert, and is pretty big.

We have family in greenpoint, and around there, look at The Box Hotel or the hotel Norman. There’s also a moxy Williamsburg.

Also consider staying in Long Island city, queens, which is about a 10 minute cab ride away. There’s more options there, including an aloft and a courtyard.

Southern part of Brooklyn, near park slope, etc, the Brooklyn Marriott is nice.

Or consider staying in the lower east side and taking the subway or a 25 minute Uber.

Lastly, look for one room or two separate rooms next to each other, but it’s tough to find adjoining rooms. Hotels just don’t have as much inventory of these.

Yea, two connecting rooms is probably my preference. I guess I need to call hotels to ask if they have them. I’m not seeing anything online to confirm places have them other than the Marriott Brooklyn Bridge.

I work for a hotel company. You just will have far fewer options if you require connecting rooms. (Less than 10% of our major chain inventory is connecting)

Just book two rooms online, and then if you must, call or chat the hotel and confirm the rooms will be next to each other.

But just get used to going in the hall, sharing keys, splitting up one adult in each room, etc.

Also in nyc, there’s really playground or food everywhere. Even little bodegas for snacks. You’ll be fine.

Want to be able to put kid to sleep without other adults having to go to sleep, too, so either need a connecting room or a suite with a true second room.

Sheraton on Canal, not in Brooklyn but convenient to Brooklyn.
