HOLIDAY INN BROOKLYN DOWNTOWN BY IHG, New York

The hotel is situated in a central Brooklyn location, 805 metres from Barclays Center and less than a kilometre from One MetroTech Center. JFK Airport is 17 km away and easily reached via the nearby A train. The Atlantic Terminal station is close, offering access to the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, and G trains. Numerous restaurants, shops, and supermarkets like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are within a short walk. The area is convenient for car travel with access to the BQE, but on-street unloading is difficult; the valet service handles parking. The neighbourhood is considered safe and walkable, with the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges within walking distance.

Room types include double rooms with one or two beds and suites. Standard double rooms offer city or river views, while suites are more spacious. All rooms have air conditioning, a desk, ironing board, safe, and a private bathroom with bath or shower. A mini-refrigerator is standard; microwaves are available upon request. Bed sizes and comfort are generally favourable, with many finding the beds comfortable. However, rooms can be compact, and some have reported worn carpet, dated furniture, or maintenance issues. Rooms on lower floors may experience noise from the street or hallway. City views are common, though nearby buildings can partially obstruct them.

Grand Canyon Diner, located on the ground floor, offers a menu of American dishes including burgers, omelets, wraps, and sandwiches. Breakfast is available for a charge (approximately $20 per person) and includes options like burritos and pancakes, though it is a set menu where extras (juice, sides) cost additional. A cocktail lounge and room service are also available. Numerous other dining options are within a 5-minute walk, including Metro Feast, Wingstop, Brasserie Seoul, and Starbucks. The diner is generally well-regarded for convenience and hearty meals, though the breakfast service has been described as limited and at times unaccommodating.

The wellness area includes an indoor heated pool, a whirlpool hot tub, a sauna, and a steam room. The fitness centre is equipped with cardio and strength equipment, and guests have access to a personal trainer. The pool and spa area has been noted as outdated and has faced periodic closures; current availability should be confirmed. When open, pool hours have varied, often with a mid-day closure. A lifeguard is present during pool hours. The hotel does not have a full spa.
