Gowanus Hotel Boom #2: Comfort Inn Open, Tourists Spotted
The Comfort Inn on Butler Street in Gowanus is open. We even observed tourists coming out of the hotel. They appeared to be getting directions from an employee to what we assume was the subway. (Continue to read and you might understand why they potentially would be befuddled about their whereabouts.) Rooms we were glancing at start at $189 a night and run up to $219 and more. The hotel describes the environs this way:
The Comfort Inn® hotel is ideally located in the heart of downtown, within walking distance of the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. This Brooklyn, NY hotel is minutes from Brooklyn College, the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the famous Coney Island and the Brooklyn Museum.Ideally located in the heart of downtown? Really? On the bright side, at least they're not trying to call the neighborhood Park Slope.
Additional nearby points of interest include:
* Central Park
* Ellis Island
* Empire State Building
* Madison Square Garden arena
* Statue of Liberty
Several theaters, universities, shopping areas and entertainment venues are minutes from the hotel. Enjoy biking and walking at one of the many nearby parks. The hotel is close to the subway system. A variety of restaurants and cocktail lounges are located in the surrounding area.

Ha! They don't say how many minutes...
That's hilarious.
It's like the Wonder Wheel must be located directly under the Brooklyn Bridge and the 7+ miles separating everything doesn't exist.
That's got to be one of the worst blocks in the neighborhood, I feel terrible for anyone staying there.
I took this picture out front of the construction site a few months ago. I hope nobody plans on bringing their car on their Brooklyn vacation:

minutes - ha, i guess anything can be measured that was, as in 2 hours is really just 120 minutes.
You can get a room for tonight for $170 (plus tax of course) internet users rate. Makes the new Holiday Inn on Union St. look much better (block and nearness to subway).
But undercut them by $10 or $20 and you'll fill the rooms.
