This weekend, I was in New York for the STRONGER Women’s Empowerment Panel at Long Island University! This wasn’t my first trip to NY, but I was looking forward to empowering young women in the multi-cultural city. I booked my stay at Hotel Indigo in Brooklyn, a cute boutique hotel that was walking distance from the hotel. How great is that?! If you’re ever staying in New York, I suggest you walk as much as possible. Driving around is not only expensive, but the time it takes to get to and fro…trust me, you want to walk to it. Maybe it’s a southern thing, I’m not used to that much walking or waiting…we drive to everything, lol.
Any who, when I checked in, immediately I was impressed with the hotel. It was technologically impressive, with the huge, wall screen showing pictures of customers at all of their locations nationally and internationally. Then I realized that I could snap a picture of myself and add to the screen as well as share it on FB and other social media. How cool is that?!
The rooms were elegant and very modern. I felt like I was living in Brooklyn, with the hardwood floors in this contemporary space. The ceiling was wallpapered with gorgeous beads and diamonds! Yes, a girls dream. The rooms aren’t super huge, but just enough for me and my guest. I had a double queen for the night and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I mean, when you’re in New York, are you actually going to stay in anyway? We hit the town, with some of my girls in tow.
For many that know me, I’m a cancer, and I love the water. During this trip, I was suffering from really bad migraines and backaches. It seemed like hot showers were the only thing bringing relief, so to step into the room and see this glorious shower…ya girl was in heaven!
All in all, I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Indigo Brooklyn. I look forward to staying at their other locations. So if you’re traveling and are considering an affordable place to stay and don’t won’t to draw back on the luxury, I suggest this boutique hotel!
