The Industrialist Hotel Gowanus Brooklyn, Sonder

Quite a small sized room and shower room. It’s on a main ish road so a little noisy but a good hotel

Location near the Union Street station was great for commute as the subway line goes to multiple stations in Manhattan. The room was small but suited us as a couple and the check in was a breeze if you had the code. The bed was good and so was the bath( except the wash basin spout) The front end staff were polite and friendly and provided assistance when requested. Overall a good value for money experience

Nice room and comfortable bed

I booked and paid for a king-size balcony suite for a 3-night stay six months in advance. When I arrived after a full day of travel with my kid, drenched from a rainstorm there had been an error and they put us in the smallest room l've ever seen for the first of three nights, leaving us to re-situate the next day. I would never book a room like where I stayed that night. I have years of proof of my travel. They gave me a partial refund for the first night after | complained but should've take the whole first night off. This error negatively impacted my entire trip which my child and I had been looking forward to half a year. It's been over a month and I've had multiple email exchanges with faceless agents, they didn't do what they promised, and clearly care more about a hundred dollars than the experience I had. I should've read the reviews. Next time I'll stick with Airbnb. One staff member was sympathetic but everyone else has been cold and useless, more concerned with their corporate numbers. What a shame.

Yeah…Just don’t do it. Spend some extra money and stay somewhere else. It’s just a crappy hotel, small rooms, crap building, thin walls.

If you’re happy with needing a hotel to just sleep in this is perfect. The room itself is small. Everything about is small. Including the fridge. INCLUDING THE FRIDGE. This is important to note, as it is smaller than a beauty fridge, and you’ll only be able to fit two small bottles of water in. On an angle. Because of this I would recommend joining the local Park Slope Buy Nothing Facebook group prior to arrival (they took a number of days to approve me) and try and borrow or get a free mini fridge for your room. The bathroom area consists of a toilet and shower, the wash basin is outside of the bathroom and in the bedroom. There is a large storage drawer below the bed which, depending on the size of your luggage may only fit one suitcase. There is no wardrobe, just a shelf with a long hook which holds five or so hangers for items. They include ear plugs and a white noise machine. There’s barely any noise from the street though, what you will hear is other hotel guests as they let their doors self close and it’s LOUD. That’s what will be annoying as you try to sleep. There’s no maid service either, there’s only a $35USD PAID maid service. Be aware that you can go to reception and ask for fresh towels or bedding and then discard the dirty ones in their refuse rooms. The location of the hotel is right near the subway, stores and Barclays Centre. Staff were pretty chill, friendly and helpful. Would stay again, but with a byo fridge.

The room, as expected, was very small, but the bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was one of the better hotel showers I’ve had, plentiful hot water. Air conditioning system was quiet and efficient. Only negative was proximity to refuse room,very loud when guests threw out their garbage. This is a very low key and laid back vibe. Staff were friendly and helpful. Convenient location and reasonably priced. Cautionary note: We are not very large people, so the size of the bedroom and bathroom was not an issue for us, but bigger folks might not be happy.

The staff is friendly and accommodating. The room was larger than I expected and the bed was very comfortable. My room did not face the street so was quiet and I got a good night’s sleep. The location is convenient to the R train and close to good restaurants and Atlantic terminal.
