The Nu Hotel is located well in Brooklyn, convenient to public transportation, including subway from/to Howard Beach/JFK. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable, although I found the in-room AC/heating unit a little loud. The hallway on the second floor also smelled a little of tobacco smoke. As I only stayed for one night, I didn’t get to sample other amenities, such as the breakfast and gym.

Our stay was less good than on previous occasions. Breakfast ran out of food first morning. Staff courtesy was limited. We had to search for staff to clean our room (we were there five nights). Location is convenient for us and we will probably book again, but hoping things will be better next time.

Very expensive for what you get. Comparable price to similar hotels that are near Central Park and charged $350 for breakfast which includes simply bagels and fruit Good staff and feels safe though which is big.

6/10 Good

Check-in was smooth and hotel is a great location. However, there was a lingering smell of smoke in the room and we came to find out the HVAC system has some quirks which often led to heat exceeding nearly 80 degrees. That said, the hotel did offer us an opportunity to speak to the front desk for a possibility of swapping rooms, which was appreciated.

Room was very clean. Would have rated a 5 if not for the construction next door, which began promptly at 7 AM. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was limited but adequate.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay. Rooms are lovely, clean and quiet (aside from the slamming doors of other rooms but that seems to happen in every hotel now?). Everyone on staff was super nice and helpful. The "resort fee" feels like a strange scam—an obligatory $25 surcharge each day for not great breakfast and very weak/intermittent WiFi—but the price per night and general stay of the hotel was truly great.

Wasn't the same experience from when I stayed here for a month more than 10 years ago. Hallways and rooms were a little dingy and had signs of wear, but staff were nice.
