Best Hotels in Brooklyn, New York City

This Sheraton property, located in central Brooklyn, earned rave reviews from recent visitors. While some attribute a pleasant stay to the hotel's location near Barclays Center, others praise the gracious hotel staff and conveniently located valet parking, just around the corner from the hotel. However, some do bemoan the steep Wi-Fi fees ($14.95 per day)and the pricey taxi fare to cross over the Brooklyn Bridge. But despite these slight drawbacks, the hotel's outstanding customer service earns positive reviews all around, as does the sophisticated rooftop bar, Kimoto Rooftop & Bar. When you're ready to bed down, you'll retreat to cozy accommodations equipped with signature Sheraton amenities like Sweet Sleeper Beds, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations. And thanks to Sheraton's Marriott ties, those partaking in the Marriott Bonvoy program are eligible for extras like complimentary upgrades and free Wi-Fi for choosing to stay here.

If you're heading to New York for the lights of Broadway or the fancy feel of the Upper West Side, your activities will require a bit of a trek from the McCarren Hotel & Pool. But if your idea of a New York getaway requires a little more breathing room and plenty of access to trendy, alternative bars and restaurants, then this hotel is the place for you. In Brooklyn's hip Williamsburg neighborhood (on North 12th Street between Bedford Avenue and Berry Street), this hotel houses a seasonal outdoor pool with colorful graffiti adorning the surrounding walls. The swimming hole is a particularly big draw during New York's extra hot summer months. And regardless of the season, you can dine on innovative, versatile cuisine at Oleanders. Recent guests said that the hotel's young and energetic staff reflects the vigor of the neighborhood, and the well-kept rooms are sizeable and comfortable (boasting Frette linens, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi).

Located just a few blocks from Sunset Park and a mile from Bush Terminal Piers Park along the Bay Ridge Channel, this Wyndham is situated within Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood. It is within walking distance of numerous restaurants, shops and several bus and subway stations, allowing visitors to travel throughout the borough and into Manhattan. The hotel's 70 guest rooms offer complimentary Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, white leather headboards and ergonomic workstations. Recent guests were complimentary of the on-site breakfast and the clean and modern accommodations, but many said the location was a little seedy. Keep in mind, members of the Wyndham Rewards program can accrue or use points by choosing to stay here.
