Comfort Inn Brooklyn Bridge: Still Ugly, Now Open

The Comfort Inn is now open on 279 Butler Street near 3rd Avenue, and according to its online photo gallery, its interior is as bland as its exterior. The hotel’s website notes that it’s in walking distance from BAM (though the stroll up 3rd Avenue isn’t the most scenic trail Brooklyn has to offer), while the Times mentions that the hotel’s location is “near the site of the proposed Atlantic Yards complex.” Rates start at $179. — KZ

They should offer hourly rates, that would suit the neighborhood. You could buy your crack around the corner in the projects, have a drink accross the street in the clubhouse of the Bridgerunners Motorcycle Club, grab a toothless hooker on the corner and call it a night.
It’s not the Hilton and it’s sure isn’t the Upper West Side but with the special rates they seem to be offering this is a great deal. I live in Park Slope and I’m letting my Mom stay there so don’t worry. It’s a short walk to nicer neighborhoods and you don’t want to spend too much time at your hotel anyway when in NYC.
would the person suggesting “boerum hill” as a possibility pls advise me where “the hill” is? i ask because my doctor says walking hills is good for cardiovascular fitness.
waaaaa might be a wiseass or s/he might remember when “brownstone” brooklyn very rarely included bed-stuy. i wonder why that was?
Q: what’s not “scenic” about 3rd avenue? too many rich white professionals?
I also just bid on the hotel and got it for $61. It looks like it’s only a 5 minute walk to the subway. Is the walk ok at night?
I am from Texas visiting Brooklyn for the first time. I actually bid for a hotel in Brooklyn and got the Comfort Inn on Butler st. for $79 a nite. After, reading all your comments, should I be scared? I am staying there for 4 nites. But, actually we have plan for all four days. We just needed a place to sleep and get clean up. Actually, I am really freaking out now.
seems like a good rate – the area is changing alot,was their Saturday saw tourists jogging. Hurray for whoever took the risk and built there- the capitalist.
This hotel will do well for the next few years until the NYC hotel market goes to shit. It can’t stay hot forever.
Charging $99/night doesn’t work wtih land and construction costs. If you weren’t able to charge >$150/night or the numbers wouldn’t work and these guys would have to give it back to the bank.
agreed 11:45….when traveling I am looking for comfortable clean accomodations at the most affordable price. As a tourist or vacationer I can travel to the attractions.I am not sitting in my hotel room so who cares what the view is. I don’t see what all the discussion is about. Dont like it, dont patronize it. Simple.
Sorry aint buying it – Hotel Le Blue (on ugly 4th Ave) sure, Holiday Inn (on gross part of Union) maybe, but a Motel on Butler between Nevins and 3rd (near NOTHING except the projects) will serve only cheating spouses and craiglist hookups.
