RED ROOF INN PLUS BROOKLYN - 3RD AVE, New York

Situated on 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn, the hotel sits immediately next to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, creating constant traffic noise day and night-a factor to consider for light sleepers. Despite the highway proximity, the location offers practical benefits: a 7-minute walk to the 25th Avenue MTA station (R train), providing direct service to Manhattan in about 30-35 minutes. The Barclays Center is 3 km away, while major lower Manhattan landmarks including the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, Brooklyn Bridge, and One World Trade Center are each about 6 km from the property. John F. Kennedy International Airport is 18 km away. Several cafés and restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk, though the immediate area has limited grocery or convenience stores within easy reach. The neighbourhood is typical of industrial Brooklyn-practical for transit-oriented trips but not a pedestrian-friendly destination for evening strolls. Guests arriving by car should note that no on-site parking is available and must rely on nearby paid lots or street parking.

The hotel offers spacious double rooms with one double bed, each featuring air conditioning, heating, a private bathroom with either a bath or walk-in shower, bathrobes, a hairdryer, and a work desk. In-room amenities include a tea and coffee maker, a mini refrigerator, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and parquet floors. A microwave is available for use in the breakfast room at any time. Some rooms have windows facing the highway, which can result in significant traffic noise, as the windows are single-pane and not well soundproofed. Corridor noise from other guests and doors is also noticeable. The rooms are cleaned daily. Furniture in some rooms may show signs of wear. For those sensitive to noise, rooms on lower floors away from the highway side are preferable.

A complimentary continental breakfast is provided each morning, featuring juice, fresh pastries, fruit, coffee, and tea. The breakfast room also offers a microwave that can be used at any time. For those seeking a fuller hot breakfast, the selection is limited to cold items, coffee, and packaged goods. For a more substantial morning meal, numerous cafés and restaurants within a short walk offer cooked options. The area also has several dining choices in the neighborhood, including Tin Cup Cafe (0.5 km) and Prospect Provisions (0.5 km).

The hotel does not include any leisure facilities such as a pool, spa, sauna, or fitness centre. The main common area is the lobby, which has seating and the breakfast room. For wellness and exercise, guests can walk to nearby parks or explore the surrounding Brooklyn neighbourhoods.

The hotel offers free WiFi throughout the property, though signal strength can be inconsistent in some rooms. Daily housekeeping is included and generally ensures rooms are cleaned and fresh towels provided. The 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage and late check-in. Security features include key card access, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. A lift serves all floors. Vending machines for drinks and snacks are available. Accessible features: some rooms advertised as ADA-accessible have been reported as not fully compliant-specifically, roll-in showers may have raised curbs, missing grab bars and shower seats, and sinks may lack knee clearance. Guests requiring fully accessible accommodations should confirm specific room setup in advance. Business services, meeting rooms, and laundry are not provided on-site but can be found nearby.
