Fodor's Review:

The hip-yet-affordable Nu is perfect for visitors seeking a manageable taste of outer borough New York. Sitting atop Smith Street, one of Brooklyn's main drags for nightlife and shopping, the Nu's staff is eager to highlight the neighborhood's charms to guests. Flat-screens, complimentary Wi-Fi, and AV hook-ups for your iPod or laptop make the above-average size rooms livable, though the minimalist white-and-grey color scheme (punctuated with eco-friendly flourishes like cork floors, organic cotton sheets, and lead-free paint) can feel chilly at times. Just off the small check-in area downstairs, a quiet bar serves small plates of Spanish food at night and free pastries with Starbucks coffee come morning—-but more fun can be had outside the front door. Pros: great Brooklyn launching pad; knowledgeable staff; fitness center open 24-hours. Cons: It's subway or cab ride to anything in Manhattan; bar area can be a little too quiet; limited in-room amenities.
