Hotel by the Brooklyn/Battery Tunnel

I will be visiting NYC next month and have reserved a room at the new Brooklyn Motor Inn. Can anyone tell me what the best way to get into the city will be (maybe the cost of a cab to get to the financial center) and any experiences with this particular hotel...good or bad? Thanks!

I%26#39;m not familiar with this hotel, but since it is close to the tunnel it shouldn%26#39;t be more than $10 to the finanical center. You may want to call the hotel directly and talk to the concierge http://www.brooklynmotorinn.com/.

Also, since it is in Red Hook, the subways are a little bit of a walk, but the hotel should be able to give you great directions. Also, Red Hook has some great new nightlife!

You can get to the financial center via cab or car service. Court Express is a car service in the area which can give you good rates into the city. Using car service in Brooklyn is easy cause you just call ahead and reserve a car for a specific time. If you want to go the public trans. route you can take the B61 bus which you can catch about a block from the motel and then switch in downtown Brooklyn to the 2/3/4/5/or 6 trains. That gets you to the financial center in aprox. 35 - 40 minutes.

The Brooklyn Motor Inn is newly renovated but tucked away in a corner. Their picture on the webiste is kind deceiving. It shows the hotel right across from the Brooklyn Bridge. Seems like they ';spliced'; the pictures together. It is actually right across the entrance to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. accommodations look fine but if you%26#39;re coming to NY to visit NYC (Manhattan), it%26#39;s best to check out hotels in the city itself.
