The Industrialist Hotel Gowanus Brooklyn

Location.

The sink in the bathroom was ridiculously small, and the faucet/mirror/shelf placement made it VERY difficult to use.

Friendly staff, good location, affordable, easy check-in

Room is very small.

Good shower, very nice products, clean and comfortable bed

Soundproofing could be improved

Convenient to subway, solid neighborhood, secure building.

Shower is incredibly small/uncomfortably laid out.Musty smell in the hallway.Soundproofing - both external and internal - could be much better.

The staff were kind and helpful. I can't fault them at all.

The doors were not soundproofed and banged all night. The room was also not soundproofed and you could easily hear the conversations of others.

location was great. 30 min max subway to where we wanted to go. We were wanting a clean, less expensive option to do some sight seeing in NY. This met our expectations perfectly.

The shower was a little small due to a supporting wall being in the shower slightly cutting it off but really not a big deal at all. The water was hot and the water pressure was great.

It was a cool looking place and the front desk people were nice enough. My low staff rating is not about them they were great. The location is great. Walking distance to everything needed/wanted.

The sheets were dirty. There was like blood of something on the sheets and then the pillow case had makeup on it. It was disgusting. I've never been to a hotel and had that happen. Thankfully I remembered I brought a sheet with me to go picnicking so we used that as our sheets and then we put tank tops over the pillows so we didn't have our face touch them.Also, the cleaning crew was cleaning for legit hours and they talk to each other while doing it but not just talk they are yelling back and forth to each other from different rooms, they don't stop talking the entire time. I came here to attempt relaxation and sleep and ended up getting the absolute opposite I went home exhausted because of staying here with this cleaning crew. Truly unbelievable that happened. No perks? Theres a coffee in the lounge but that other downstairs lounge is closed. You should 100% open that and make a bar and eating area. There's just no perks to staying here. Lastly, the soap this time. That stuff smells nasty. I would change that scent. There's no way no one else feels the same way it must be cheap.

The location and the ease of checking in. The room was very comfortable.

The pre-check in several days before we arrived at the property was a little complicated; but we managed.

Great value, easy check in/check out. Easy commute as the subway is right outside. Staff were great.

Its noisy - slamming of the heavy doors woke me up all night long. The cleaning crew start early and are very loud. The location is good, but certainly not a premium spot. Rooms were comfortable, but very basic which honestly is a reflection of the great price.

Location was good

Fire alarm went off at 2am for 30 mins. AC. Rome on level 3 only which was our floor so room was hot and uncomfortable. Room size was tiny.

Location was great and staff were very friendly and helpful

Small sink in room. Refrigerator small to hold even one drink.

Location, safety, helpfulness of staff. The rooms are tiny but we knew what to expect. If in BK you should barely be in your room anyways!

Coffee machine not stocked downstairs two of the days but plenty of coffee in room and neighborhood.

The location was great, staff responsive and attentive, and the room was cool (nice in the summer!)

The lighting wasn’t very practical in that there was no lighting near the mirror(s) so it was difficult to see.

Basic clean room, a step above 2 star

No public restroom in the lobby?? You are kidding right? Checked out at 5am, used a locker so I could go to the days activities. When I returned to retrieve my locker, I needed to use the bathroom and was told there was none! I meant come on!! There’s just no excuse for that!! None $233 for a 12 hour stay and told we can’t help you,,, shameful if not illegal

Perfect location for us near our family, staff were excellent- friendly and helpful. Really nice room with balcony

We unplugged the fridge at night as it was really noisy but that was really not a problem

They won't let you check in early even if the room is ready without paying $20-$50. Never encountered that before. The AC and TV didn't work but they switched to another room where it worked (but that can happen anywhere). Sink is hard to use without water splashing on floor. The bed is comfortable to sleep on but it is too soft to try to sit on you the edge, you will just slide off (I don't remember if there was a chair).

Room small but functional and clean. I only was there for one night so it was ok. Location for exploring area is very good. Good subway access. The best part was Naomi at the front desk she was super helpful and nice.

Good location, efficient check in check out, easy to use, mostly a self-help hotel. Rooms were very small as expected, but if you don't expect you will be shocked.

not the nicest, not the most cleanest, but perfectly fine, suits the price

Location to subway

Very small room. Had to change rooms due to electrical fault. New room had a bit of a mould kind of smell.

Not what I expected, will...

The room I had initially checked into did not look like it had been cleaned properly; there were insect pieces in the window ledge, hair around the headboard and in the shower, and the room smelled damp. To my surprise, I found there was a hole near the window and a family of flying ants had infested the room. I used the chat function in the app to report the problem and was transferred to another room. The new room was cleaner, but the dampness was an issue. I would find that my clothing would feel wet if left out, and there were rat traps in the stairwell.

Only one upside: operable windows.

Broken and corroded plumbing fixtures, a shower that flooded the bath floor, ABSURD check-in rituals, noisy, cramped, ridiculous mini fridge.
