The owner of this Hotel is a Satmar Chosid – Developer . Perhaps all of the Tumlers in the Shchunah would contact him , arrange to meet and discuss our communal needs . Maybe even convince him to turn the hall into a Kosher one so that we would have 1 More choice to pick from . THIS is in the Schunah .

Also for elderly or handicapped guests this isn't an option

particularly on Shabbos & Yom Tov. Add in inclement weather at times & this isn’t going to be for everyone. Not sure if this will be an asset to the community or not. There’s already hotels on Utica within walking distance if you’re not particular about a Yiddisher environment.

what's with the weird design?
January 2, 2018 9:16 am

just what did they smoke, why all those weird descriptions? this isn’t a museum, it’s a place to sleep!

to #1 et al.

just wait till the owners announce the price- per- day for accommodations at this place. all of a sudden the basements won’t sound bad at all. furtheremore, most of the basements can accommodate more than the 2-3 people you can fit into a hotel room, and unlike hotel rooms, most basements have some kind of kitchenette. as for those who are not shomer shabbos and don’t like staying in a frum family’s basement, they probably take the train or a cab to downtown brooklyn or manhattan anyway. as far as not wanting to be hosted by members of the community,… Read more »

Also think it's a good idea..

Even in the olden days they had inns/hotels . Nice places for people to stay is always an advantage! Kosher meals available etc. even better. Walking distance to Crown Heights most important.

WHY is it not a kosher hotel?
January 1, 2018 4:08 pm

I agree with the idea that we don’t seem to cater to our our own shechuna like in williamsburg. We have enough business minded people who could have made this hotel upscale, profitable and frum at same time. It’s sorely needed.

Looking firward
January 1, 2018 12:52 pm

I hope since it’s not catering to chabad , prices will be more reasonable, or does it already say price range

So needed!!
January 1, 2018 11:34 am

About time!! The amount of people that visit ch a year…the stresses of finding a place, the shliach who is worried about their baal habos coming and being turned off from the lodging circumstances…

15 did you say eshel is very good???
January 1, 2018 9:05 am

Its obvious the new hotel is way over your head. the most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed was ESHEL. whoever runs it should be ashamed of themselves.

finally! YIPPY!!!
January 1, 2018 8:55 am

i am so excited. i would like say to No.1 staying in someones basement is not my idea of comfort. I’ve done it many times and paid a lot of money. no coffee. old towels. this close to nasty . all for a ‘mere’ $150.00! Im super excited. This new hotel can’t go up fast enough for me.

So people are complaining
January 1, 2018 3:39 am

Yet when all the tishrei guests come, no one wants to host. At other times there isn’t enough space… if you don’t like it, you don’t have to stay there!

Hate to say it, but...
January 1, 2018 1:20 am

…#2 is kinda right. This hotel isn’t so important (looks like a nuke plant retrofitted as a prison, but whatevs), the important question is why there’s no kosher, high-class hotel right in the center of the shechuna. Eshel is very good, but hardly perfect; there’s a need for at least a few more. We need to do a better job of serving our own community.

New Mivtsoyim Rout

Yes
December 31, 2017 9:34 pm

Its about time something like this happened!! Now I”YH, when it comes to Tishrei, Kinus Hashluchim etc, the guests don’t have to rely on people to host them. Whoever thought this idea up I wish you Hatzlacha Rabah in this new endavor!!

Wonderful!! BH!!
December 31, 2017 8:49 pm

Hats off to the builder . Very nice for everyone. Impressed with kosher meal options and Shabbos door too.

Agreed 100%!!
December 31, 2017 8:32 pm

With number 10. Who else agrees!

PLS, POSITIVE COMMENTS!
December 31, 2017 8:27 pm

These comments are absolutely ridiculous….Not everything will accommodate chabad, and we need to deal with it….If it doesn’t work for us then that’s the end of it-no need for negative comments, not like it will change anything anyway. And just like #4 said,if you don’t have anything nice to say,DONT SAY IT! Thank u..

stop complaining
December 31, 2017 8:20 pm

agree with #4. People need to stop complaining every time something happens and the area is enhanced.

If I had no choice, as in certain communities & cities, I would use
December 31, 2017 8:08 pm

this hotel option, but if I have kosher options, then there’s nothing to discuss, case closed!

enough
December 31, 2017 8:07 pm

Stop with this negative propaganda. Stop inciting that everyone is out to destroy chabad. This hotel will have no affect on the community. Besides there are enough problems to be dealt with within our community that we don’t need to proactively go looking for others.

What's the big deal if they won't be accommodating the frum
December 31, 2017 7:40 pm

community. Most Jews that visit Crown Heights want to be in a kosher environment with mezuzahs, kosher snacks, & Jewish music, etc. Wouldn’t appeal to me if it’s a completely tried environment. Sorry wouldn’t be interested!

I am excited about this
December 31, 2017 7:02 pm

My family isn’t frum and this is the perfect place for them to rent so they can visit. They don’t want to rent from frum people . I am not the only one in the community that has non frum family or people they work with who may want to come in for a simchas. Or even face it – plenty of frum people like the hotel type of stay and not a bed and breakfast experience without the breakfast.

for real???
December 31, 2017 6:53 pm

im sick and tired of all the negative comments on this site
you people are crazy
you have to find the bad in everything
if you have nothing nice to say then dont say it at all
thank you

Great idea this hotel is
December 31, 2017 5:58 pm

The area is fine the people are great mashiyach now

resident
December 31, 2017 5:31 pm

I doubt they will cater to frum people. another way to enhance gentrification and kill the rest of us. Great way for our kids to hang out on the rooftop bar they are making…..,. amazing how in williamsburg they made a kosher hotel, here, who cares how they ruin our shechuna. let it at least be adaptable for our own ppl

do we really need this?
December 31, 2017 5:15 pm

many homeowners meet their mortgage payments by renting out basements in their home. Is this quest for more and more luxuries going to affect the lower middle class in our community? you can bet on it- but- parnassa comes from Hashem.. so we will simply rely on him as always…
