The three-pearl BKLYN House is a simple, yet funky hotel in the up-and-coming neighborhood of Bushwick in northern Brooklyn. There are a handful of nearby restaurants and shops, as well as a subway station (the JMZ line) just a three-minute walk away. All rates include a free hot buffet breakfast and there is free juice, tea, and coffee on offer throughout the day. Other features are limited to a common area with two internet-connected computers with printing facilities and free day passes to two nearby gyms. As an alternative, Aloft New York Brooklyn is located closer to downtown Brooklyn and features an indoor rooftop pool as well as a fitness center.

With its hip address, stylish decor, and eclectic boutique vibe, The Williamsburg Hotel is an upscale option full of quirk and perks, including a convenient location that's a seven-minute walk from buzzing Bedford Avenue and its subway station. Highlights include a rooftop pool and Water Tower Bar with panoramic views over the city. The hotel's restaurant features a very Brooklyn menu -- including weekend High Tea -- while other perks include cruiser bikes on loan and a free area tuk-tuk shuttle. The 147 chic rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and thoughtful touches like white noise machines, pillow menus, and Brooklyn-made toiletries (but no coffeemakers). Most have terraces and many feature stunning Manhattan skyline views. The hotel lacks a gym though; for a similarly priced, upscale alternative with that feature, try The William Vale.

This lower-middle-range chain hotel on a quiet, unremarkable Brooklyn street offers clean, comfortable rooms and a decent location not far from the city -- and it is a value compared to many chain properties in Manhattan. The 115-room hotel features a plentiful free continental breakfast and free Wi-Fi, but the amenities end there. From the subway stop just a half block away, it will take about 30 minutes to reach the main tourist sights of New York City.

This 54-room hotel is a modern oasis in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood. Budget-conscious travelers might be able to overlook the undesirable location, directly across the street from the Nostrand Avenue elevated LIRR train station on a desolate block of Atlantic Avenue, in exchange for affordable rates and free amenities such as breakfast, Wi-Fi, a fitness center, and parking. The hotel's clean brand-name rooms and contemporary style are upsides, but it may be worth comparing rates with the Comfort Inn Brooklyn Bridge, which has a better location. While the location just south of Bed-Stuy is a bit dicey at night, the subway to Manhattan is two blocks away. It's also possible to walk to cuter parts of Brooklyn, such as Clinton Hill (20 minutes) and Prospect Park in Park Slope (25 minutes).

The Super 8 Brooklyn is a budget chain hotel with 57 rooms that generally draws positive comments from guests for cleanliness and value. It offers a free, if mediocre, continental breakfast and a very limited amount of free parking. Situated on a large street running north-south through Brooklyn, the property does not enjoy a particularly calm location, though the tree-lined streets of both Carroll Gardens and Park Slope are within an easy 10-minute walk, meaning many of Brooklyn’s best food offerings are nearby. Union Square in Manhattan is a 30-minute train ride without transfers via a subway stop that sits one block from the hotel.

Next to the Boerum Hill neighborhood, the 104-room Red Lion Inn and Suites Brooklyn has a convenient location for exploring Brooklyn and Manhattan. The hotel is within walking distance to over 10 subway lines, the LIRR, and the Barclays Center. Rooms are simple but updated with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs with free HBO, and free Wi-Fi; some have spa bathtubs. The free breakfast buffet (with hot and cold items), on-site laundry facilities, and small business center make it a solid value for business travelers, while the wide selection of restaurants, shops, and bars within blocks of the hotel make it convenient for all guests. There are very few on-site amenities, however; the hotel lacks a gym (which other nearby value hotels have) and a full restaurant.

This small two-and-a-half pearl chain hotel in Brooklyn’s Sheepshead Bay offers 48 modern and stylish rooms with mini-fridges and coffeemakers. Amenities include a fitness center, free breakfast, and free Wi-Fi. Located directly off of the Belt Parkway, the hotel is within an easy drive of John F. Kennedy Airport, Coney Island, and Brighton Beach. It's considerably more affordable than comparable properties in Manhattan, but most of New York City’s main attractions are at least an hour away. Guests looking to be closer to Manhattan (and in a neighborhood that's trendy in its own right ) can consider the Quality Inn Long Island City, where rates are actually lower and commutes into Manhattan take 10 minutes. However, the BEST WESTERN is far more stylish.

Lefferts Manor is a six-room bed and breakfast set in an historic (1898) Victorian townhouse. It's located on a lovely residential block, close to Brooklyn's Prospect Park and the subway with express service to Manhattan. The Prospect Lefferts Garden neighborhood, though, can be iffy at night. The spacious rooms are furnished with antiques and soft linens, but most lack en-suite baths, meaning guests have to share a bathroom with other guests on their designated floor.

Opened in December 2013, Hotel Luxe is a boutique property located on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a seven-minute walk to the subway into Manhattan. The rooms are stylish and minimalist and the bathrooms, while small, are clean and modern. The hotel offers affordable rates in an otherwise expensive city and is a good option for the budget traveller who doesn’t mind a subway ride to most attractions. However, the neighborhood does have higher crime rates than others in Brooklyn and the rooms can be noisy from train traffic outside and thin interior walls. Hotel Le Bleu, in nearby Park Slope, is also affordable and in a slightly nicer area.
