Essence Hotel

I booked a Queen Accessible Room for two nights via Hotels.com. We are an elderly couple with mobility issues, and have stayed in your hotel before. We were put in room 410. The bed isn't a Queen bed, the room is barely 9 foot by 6 feet. The bathroom is almost as big as the bed room. The idea that this room is 'Accessible' is ridiculous. There is no room either side of the bed to get into it, you have to climb over the end of the bed across a metal frame. To cap it all, in the morning there was no hot water for the shower. We left after one night.

Small room but clean. I arrived early and the clerk was friendly and accommodating. I was able to check in early. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

What I did not like about the hotel is that I lost my Stanley cup in there I left it in there and didn’t realize until I was on the way home so I contacted them they said they didn’t have it and I know for a fact it was there.

Great people

awesome neighborhood. very close to the barclays center!

Will not go back or recommend to anyone

Great stay

Our daughter lives close by, we were visiting and needed last minute accommodation. This was in walking distance, cheap and available. Last resort.

It was a very clean environment.

This motel is not great. Should be rated one star. Came with wife and as we were checking in, heard another resident down the hallway stating that he was not leaving the room after management appeared to be trying to get him to vacate his room. There is nothing romantic or professional about this place. The rooms are absolutely tiny with zero amenities, there’s no nightstand or night tables. There are people coming and going at all hours of the night, we had some mentally unwell guy yelling and blasting his TV the entire time that we almost checked out at 5 AM. It’s really unfortunate that this place has paid somebody to create a nice looking website when inside it looks like the basement of the Port Authority. Avoid if you can’t. Don’t be duped by the cheap prices.

Had a good stay

It was nice and Quiet

Always pleasant staff at the desk, rooms are always clean.

It’s definitely my top picks yes I booked late they still let me get in the room was kind of tight but no biggie it’s not far from Barclays'

Clean calm and small

Not good at all. Too small. Can't hardly move around. Never again.

Great location staff was very nice.

Not bad for the price decent room kinda small but bathroom was big other then that great for short stay

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the property was outdated and poorly maintained. The building itself was old and crusty, with an overall sense of neglect that made me uncomfortable. The cleanliness was unacceptable—filthy carpets, dusty surfaces, and a lingering smell that made staying in the room unbearable. The room was shockingly small, offering barely enough space to move around. To make matters worse, the TV was unreliable, freezing every few minutes while trying to watch something, which added to the frustration. The entire experience left me feeling mortified. I made sure to document everything with pictures because the state of the room was beyond unacceptable. I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone and strongly suggest looking elsewhere for accommodations.

Nice stay
