Great Stay.

We enjoyed our stay at The Penny Williamsburg. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. Nice little courtyard out back and we had a nice dinner at ElNico, their rooftop restaurant. Only a few minutes walk to the L train station. We loved the pour over coffee in the room and the free coffee downstairs in the morning.

Alexander, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is very nice and simple, with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The main downside was that the rooms aren’t very soundproof, so we could hear noise from other guests, but it didn’t impact our overall stay. The area and neighborhood are great, with plenty nearby and close access to the subway, which made getting around very easy. Overall, a great experience – we would definitely stay again. Reception staff were so lovely - can’t fault this place 10/10.
Emma, 5-night trip
