The Super 8 Brooklyn is a budget chain hotel with 57 rooms that generally draws positive comments from guests for cleanliness and value. It offers a free, if mediocre, continental breakfast and a very limited amount of free parking. Situated on a large street running north-south through Brooklyn, the property does not enjoy a particularly calm location, though the tree-lined streets of both Carroll Gardens and Park Slope are within an easy 10-minute walk, meaning many of Brooklyn’s best food offerings are nearby. Union Square in Manhattan is a 30-minute train ride without transfers via a subway stop that sits one block from the hotel.

Scene
Small but clean plain chain hotel situated on busy road
Despite the slightly grim exterior of this four-story, blocky brick structure, the interior is pleasant, with a hint of contemporary design in the lobby, which features engineered wood floors, black wood-paneled walls, and a couple of imitation mid-century wire chairs. The area where the continental breakfast is served is somewhat plainer and slightly cramped, though it does enjoy a lot of light from floor-to-ceiling windows at one end. The atmosphere is modern and guests report quality service.
Location
Situated on a major avenue, about a 10-minute walk each from central Park Slope and Carroll Gardens
The property sits directly on 3rd Ave, which is a major Brooklyn thoroughfare; the street has a somewhat post-industrial aesthetic, and is lined with car repair shops and garages. Amenities in the immediate area are limited (although a Whole Foods is a few blocks away) but the wealth of restaurants and independent shops in Carroll Gardens is about a 10-minute walk up Union Street. Park Slope with its tree-lined avenues is also about a 10-minute walk away and Prospect Park is about 20 minutes away on foot. There is an R train station a block from the hotel; Union Square in Manhattan is a direct, 30-minute ride.
Rooms
Engineered wood floors, lacquer furniture, and clean, comfortable beds in small rooms
Rooms have thin walls and can experience street noise; apart from this, beds are reportedly comfortable and the cleanliness level here is high. Engineered wood floors, lacquered wood headboards, and bed throws in bright jewel colors combine with subtle decorative textiles on a single wall of each room for a contemporary feel; apart from these touches, there is little additional decor. All rooms have a coffeemaker, small windows with black-out shades, a chair and small desk, a shower/tub combo, an ice bucket, a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, an air-conditioning unit, and a hairdryer. Bathrooms are on the small side, with standard-issue granite vanities.
Features
Breakfast area and very limited free off-street parking
The hotel has a computer terminal in the lobby for guest use, a small breakfast room where a continental breakfast is served daily, and eight parking spaces in the back of the property, which are available for free to guests who book directly through the hotel.
