Ramada By Wyndham Brooklyn Near Flatbush — Hotel in New York

We booked this hotel for a 1 night stay with 2 rooms totaling $700 to visit a terminally ill family member. After driving 5 hours we arrived at this hotel and the moment we entered the hotel there was an intense smell of body odor, reeked of stank armpits. I asked the front desk person if we could have rooms on the same floor, she said no so one room was on the first floor and the other on the second floor, not ideal but okay it’s one night. We get to our first floor room is more funky than the lobby was..I go back to the front desk and ask for a different room, the initial response was they are at capacity and have no additional rooms. I then asked to speak with a manager who then offered another room at a higher rate…but I thought you were full, immediately shady and dishonest. Then I told him I was not paying extra for a room change and he told me I could find another hotel. We were already exhausted and didn’t want to search for another hotel so we stayed. I cleaned the room the best I could but I NEVER slept. Our room that was on the first floor was right by the elevator and stairs so every time someone entered or exit the elevator we could hear it and them. In addition when you open the door of the room you can see people staring back at you that are eating in the lobby or anyone who was standing in front of the hotel which is obviously a safety issue. Zero privacy and zero quiet. Tiny rooms. This is the worst hotel I’ve personally ever stayed in and the rude manager didn’t care whatsoever. I would sleep in my car before...

I booked this hotel because the ones we usually stay at in Sheepshead bay were sold out and we needed to visit family nearby. I figured the hotel seemed new so it couldn’t be too bad.|We had a 2 double bed room that was extremely small meaning you had to climb on the bed to access the a/c unit because the bed was literally stuck to the wall on that side and there was no more than 1 foot separating the beds.|As well it’s important to note that the beds are double size and not queen, so they’re 6 inches smaller.|The beds were comfortable though.|The only lighting in the room were the 2 fixtures pictured however they were both on the same switch meaning you could only have both lights on or off, no other lighting was provided.|The bathroom had a sliding door that had no handle.|The bathroom sink was extremely small and whenever we washed our hands the water went all over the floor.|There was not a single shelf or hook in the bathroom to hang your clothes or a towel.|One of us used the shower and there was no hot water so needless to say it was not a pleasant experience.|In the room the only nightstand was the tiny one in between the beds so there was no room to put away glasses or anything else.|Cleaning is sub par and the cleaning lady only came at 4:30 pm.|Continental breakfast was included and the choices were decent, the lady who was there was very helpful but note that there were only 4 tables in the breakfast area and most were usually taken.|One last thing: the hotel has no parking.|All in all I would not willingly...

Stayed here for 5 nights and left with mixed feelings. The rooms were very clean and the bed was comfortable. AC worked perfectly, and the included breakfast, while basic, was decent. The best part is the location — just a 2-minute walk to the 2 & 5 subway lines, which get you to downtown Brooklyn in 20 minutes and Manhattan in 30–40. There’s also a McDonald’s, Target, and other food options around the corner.

However, there were several drawbacks. The staff felt indifferent and untrained. For example, we returned one night to find no toilet paper had been restocked, and body wash and shampoo ran out with no refills, even though we were staying multiple nights. Housekeeping was inconsistent — some days the towels were changed but the bed wasn’t made; other days only the trash was taken out or nothing was done at all.

Rooms are very small — barely enough space to walk around or store anything beyond a carry-on. On top of that, we experienced low water pressure in the shower and a small leak behind the toilet. Soundproofing is poor; we could clearly hear traffic and people revving engines outside. The building also doesn’t feel especially secure, as you don’t need a keycard to access the elevator.

For the price, it’s not the worst option, but the rooms are much smaller than advertised. I’d personally recommend the Avid Hotels in Dyker Heights instead — similar pricing, much better staff, quieter area, and more comfortable rooms (though it’s a little further from public transit — about a 10-minute walk to...
