We have now stayed twice at this Comfort Suites ”Prospect Park” and the first piece of advice is bring your walking shoes. It's a 10-15 minute walk UP the slope to the SW entrance of Prospect Park. That's fine for us, we loved the Park and (closer) walking historic and amazing Green-Wood cemetery. We're regulars at Comfort Suites in several different states. This one is more on the expensive side, but I think it's a decent bargain for NYC (we paid $300 per weekend night). From MTA ”R” train, it's a 4-5 block walk from 14th street station. We drove up in 2021 and lucked into a parking spot out front - don't count on that. Parking is VERY limited at the hotel, auxiliary parking two blocks away under freeway. Remarkably, that freeway does not seem to add to the noise at this CD...BOTH our stays (2021 & 2021) were quiet...and each time we had rooms facing 20th street. These are NY-sized rooms, but they are clean, comfortable and modern. Our room was ADA accessible (though we didn't ask for it) and had a big walk-in shower. These rooms only have one chair (at desk)...an additional compact or folding chair would be helpful. As regular travelers...we notice the lack of horizontal space (shelves) in these rooms -place to put your ”stuff”. Also, the shower had no place to PUT the complimentary soap, shampoo etc. Who builds a shower like that? Nonetheless, the bathroom was clean and spacious enough. Breakfast area is small by ample food to get you started for the day. It seemed to get busier toward 10am...so eat earlier and avoid the crowd.. We had coffee and a muffin...then walked to breakfast up near Grand Army Plaza at Prospect Park. One final bit of warning about walking in Brooklyn...the rapid growth in the use of scooters, e-bikes, etc., means that the ”bike” lanes are now MORE dangerous than crossing traffic! Look carefully before crossing the bike lanes, or you could get flattened by an e-bike going 30 miles an hour with somebody's dinner to deliver. Our observation: most of the bikes are now electric, and most pay little heed to traffic signals. Like mom said... look BOTH ways, every time.
Excellent
