3-star hotel

Guest rating: 3.3 / 5

Knights Inn Brooklyn Sunset Park is an unpretentious 3-star hotel in Brooklyn at 820 39th St, positioned about a 3-minute walk from a subway station for access around the boroughs and into Manhattan. It’s roughly 3 miles from major Brooklyn attractions such as the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park Zoo, and sits about 6 miles from the Statue of Liberty National Monument. Rooms are straightforward and feature photographic skyline-style murals, plus in-room basics like Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TVs, microwaves, and minifridges. On-site amenities beyond the guestrooms are not documented in the available information. From this base in Sunset Park, guests can aim for nearby cultural stops like Brooklyn Botanic Garden (about 3.7 km away) or plan longer rides to downtown sights such as the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (about 7.3 km away) and One World Trade Center (about 7.5 km away).

Best for

This hotel best suits travelers who prioritize subway access and simple in-room conveniences (Wi‑Fi, microwave, and minifridge) over a full-service property. It can also work for value-focused visitors who plan to spend most of their time out exploring Brooklyn and Manhattan rather than relying on extensive on-site amenities.

Travel tips

Because the hotel is about a 3-minute walk to the subway, most sightseeing is easiest by transit rather than driving. Many headline attractions require a longer ride (for example, Brooklyn Bridge is about 6.6 km away and Times Square about 12.4 km away), so budget extra travel time if you’re planning multiple Manhattan stops in a day. Some guests report a small parking area and occasional waits, so drivers may want a backup parking plan.

What guests say

Guests frequently mention the convenience of being very close to subway access and often cite friendly staff and good value for the price. At the same time, review excerpts point to inconsistent room conditions, including reports of cleanliness problems (such as dirty bathrooms, mold, and pests) and maintenance issues (older or malfunctioning fixtures and TVs). Noise is another recurring concern in some accounts. Parking is also described as limited, with at least one report of a wait for a space, and some guests note a security deposit requirement.
