Our daughter recently graduated from NYU Stern, and we needed overnight accommodations for family members. At first, I had booked at another hotel, but when I learned that the jackhammering we were told last August was a temporary condition was still very much going on, I needed to find another hotel if I wanted to sleep those two nights. That brought me to the Holiday Inn.
We were very pleased in general with the Holiday Inn Express. Staff was very friendly and helpful. As one graduation was at 11 am, we needed to check on in the morning. We were able to store out luggage and pick it up in the afternoon.
There is a 7 Eleven nearby, and the hotel itself has a convenience store of sorts in the lobby as well as a restaurant downstairs that we did not visit.
Due to the narrow, one-way streets, getting to the hotel without going over the Williamsburg Bridge can be challenging, to be sure. There are two parking lots nearby.
The rooms themselves are new, very nice, and extremely clean. However, our second afternoon, it was very late in the afternoon, and the room still had not been cleaned. I just had the staff member make the bed. And speaking of beds, our room had one king-size bed. The rooms are very small, even by NYC standards, and our two carry-on size suitcases basically filled up the available floor area....Our daughter recently graduated from NYU Stern, and we needed overnight accommodations for family members.

Had we been there for several days and had large suitcases, I am not sure where they would have gone!
There are some nice restaurants nearby, and we did take the opportunity to walk the Williamsburg Bridge and back in the evening.
I don't think we will be back in the area, as my daughter has graduated and moved uptown, but if we were, I would book the Holiday Inn again.More
