The Vue Inn Brooklyn

The only thing I liked was that they had smoking rooms. Cleanliness matters more to me, though, and I’d choose a cleaner, more comfortable room even if this one cost $50 less. The floor had hair, dust, and bits of debris in every corner and along the furniture. The white sheets and covers looked dingy cream, though at least they weren’t stained like some other reviews mentioned. There were stains on the counters, burn marks and smeared dirt on the walls, and the old coffee and tea maker had brown gunk in its grooves. The toilet kept draining. Loud music and conversations came through the walls and from the parking area. If they didn’t even sweep properly, I can only imagine what else they cut corners on. I’d get another hotel if possible.

The room was hot and smelled of smoke. Inside, I found three flies, blood on the wall, a hole in the wall, and dirty light switches and outlets. The bed looked questionable, and the people in the parking lot were playing loud music and hanging around. The area felt sketchy too. I tried to check out right away and they offered another room, but the whole hotel looked messy and cheap for the price. It didn’t seem safe or clean. This feels like a place for people displaced from the local community or “working” there, rather than visitors. Do not book here.

We even changed rooms hoping for something better, but the second one was worse. There was blood on the walls, down there hairs in the bed, mud in the shower, and boot prints on the sheets. The whole place smelled like a cigarette ash tray. The attendant was asleep and took 20 mins to wake up. Disgusting doesn’t come close to describing it. If your options are sleeping in your car or staying here, sleep in your car. Horrible, unsafe experience. Just don’t do it.

Room #309 was among the worst rooms I’ve stayed in. There were stains on the curtains and ceiling, especially around the smoke detector, plus a hole in the wall near the window and burn marks above the mirror. Being near one of the floor’s main exits meant constant traffic and loud door slams at night, so it was hard to relax. I noticed blue marks on the sheets and asked for clean ones, but the guy said they were limited due to covid. I don’t approve of this place.
