George Gittens was an excellent host and he bought us breakfast. He is a health expert and vegan chef. The building is a Brooklyn Brownstone built in 1931. It has many original details and characteristics still intact. The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The property is in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn which is a very safe and sought after neighborhood. There are many restaurants and tourist attractions nearby. George Gittens is a historian of the neighborhood and has lived there all of his life. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Brooklyn.

George Gittens, a vegan chef and holistic health consultant is an very accommodating host. Make sure to ask him for his GET WELL CD. He paid for my breakfast and he knows the area very well and was able to inform me about different venues in the area. The house was built in 1931 and still has its architectural features still intact. It's comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is very safe with great restaurants and multiple tourist attractions. It is near trains which gives you easy access to Manhattan.

They claim to be a "Bed and Breakfast," but they are not, at least not in the traditional sense. What you are doing by staying here is renting a room in a rooming house/flop house. (If you want breakfast you are emailed a link to where you can order takeout from a local bagel shop...) But what really ruined our experience was an extraordinarily loud, intrusive "church party" (we were told) taking place on the first floor, directly beneath our room. Despite multiple calls to the proprietor the loud music, (complete with thumping bass lines that shook our room floor, walls and furniture), slamming doors and shrieking guests went on until well past midnight. Completely unacceptable. I have never had a worse night in any hotel I have ever stayed in. At one point we discussed just packing everything back up and leaving in the middle of the night. Avoid at any cost. You have been warned!

Cozy, clean and great location.
I really liked the location and the room. Everything was cozy and we got a call every morning to see if we needed anything. The only thing I would change is how the shower worked... You had to finagle with it to get the right temperature.

Cancelled booking on night of stay; rude attendant
My reservation was cancelled on me on the day of my stay because another guest had an emergency and needed to stay another night, so they no longer had room for me. They made no offer to help me find another hotel, and told me that calling them to ask for help was wasting both my time and theirs. Needless to say, their customer service was awful and I will do my best to make sure hotels.com removes Illumination B&B from their list of accommodations.

Surprised. Not Happy.
Due to over selling their rooms, I was told at check-in that I was being sent to another mariotte Courtyard about 3-6 miles away (I don't recall). I chose that hotel because it was right next to my customer and I had numerous meetings. meeting over the next two days. I would be able to retreat easily to my hotel room between meetings. After much too do,,,they put me at a much cheaper hotel across the street that was $100 + less than what I was paying for...but was charged the higher rate.

Great Brooklyn B&B!!
Stayed a night with a couple of friends to attend a sporting event at the Barclays Center. Our experience was great, only a 15min walk from the Barclays, George was very friendly and accomodating, & room was clean, had plenty of room for 3, and a decent sound system to play music. Neighborhood was very nice, and we even got a parking space right infront of the Bed & Breakfast! Zero complaints, great bang for your buck if you are staying in Brooklyn.

The fitted sheets on the bed keep coming loose. The free parking was if you could find a place on the street, squeeze into a small spot and not park under a ginko tree. Our room was on the third floor, entering from the semi-basement, that made a four story hike to get to the room. And, the bathroom/shower was on the second floor so you had to walk down one flight of stairs to use the facilities.

Horrible Place to Stay - Do Not StayHere
Advertised as a B &B but really a spare, spartan room in a house with no amenities what-so-ever. I booked this hotel as it was close to my high school and I was there for my 50th Anniversary Reunion. I returned to the hotel for the night at 10:30 P.M. and was awakened at 12:30 P.M. by a loud, raucous party coming from the living area below. When I complained to the manager by text and phone, I was told that they book parties and it is to be expected, but not to worry - the guest would leave by 2:30 P.M. They left at 4:30 and I was able to get a few hours sleep. I was told to expect the same situation the following night, so I left the hotel and did not stay the second night. This is not the charming, quaint B&B as advertised, but more like a hovel and a dump. I did receive a full refund for my stay but still, and thank the owner of the hotel and Orbitz for that but still, it is an experience that I wish I did not have - be forewarned.
