The Vue Inn Brooklyn — Hotel in New York

I booked a room at this hotel to see the out skirts of New York and boy was it! I'm from Los Angeles and I myself don't come from a better part of town but this location took the cake! When arriving at this hotel I couldn't help but notice the drug addicts walking around, sofas thrown on the sidewalk, dirty streets and the abundance of trash. It was frightening.Our Uber driver was also leary of dropping us off and didn't want to charge for the ride. Although I did do my research on this hotel, which got 4 - 4 1/2 stars, it is very deceiving. We left almost immediately.I did try to get a refund through Expedia, which they tried insistently to help me with, but due to hotel policy wasn't able to. They were able to get me a $50 coupon for my next hotel that I decided to stay at. Worth being a member! I can't say too much of the hotel itself, due to the fact that we didn't stay and that they weren't able to get a refund for us.I'm writing this review to remind us when rating a hotel or looking for a place to stay, not only to look solely at the hotel/abnb/bed and breakfast, whatever it may be, but to also look and consider location, safety and environment.Happy and...

Everything about this hotel room is dirty. The floors are not clean; it’s hair, dust and miscellaneous particles in every corner and base of the furniture. The sheets and covers are white and dingy cream (ew) but at least they weren’t stained like other reviews. Loud music and conversation can be heard through the walls and coming from the parking. The Coffee/tea maker was dirty and old with brown stuff in the grooves. Countertops has visible stains. Burns and smeared dirt on the walls. The toilet drains constantly. I recommend getting a different hotel if possible. This hotel could be $50 cheaper and I still would prefer a cleaner and comfortable room over this. Only good thing is they are smoking room but again I’d prefer cleanliness most importantly. If they didn’t bother to fully sweep the floors, I can only imagine what other corners...

The actual rooms themselves are satisfactory and the people at the front desk did their best... BUT I couldn't sleep when I stayed over, it was a very scary experience trying to sleep because a couple was having a dispute a few rooms over at 11 in the evening; a man was knocking very loudly on his partner's door and yelling very aggressively and cursing very loudly and it made me very stressed and worried, the area around it is pretty suspect so I wouldn't be surprised if this happened often here, again the rooms themselves do the job for the price but there is a very high chance you risk staying over next to some aggressive and desperate people, if you want to save money I guess you could gamble and hope it doesn't happen but personally I'd just pay extra for a hotel in a safer location...
