There are better options
Pros:

Close to restaurants and train

Cons:

The bed was uncomfortable and the room was too tight. Limited breakfast pastries available at the lobby. For $600 a night, expected more.

As always my go to place in NY.
Pros:

The ambience, room,staff and location are always welcoming. The comfortable bed was superb.. It's an easy place to be and this time we discovered the 2nd floor terrace. What a great little space to read and enjoy complimentary coffee.

Cons:

The shower is good but the floor outside was always soaked after showering.
I would have liked the table on external 2nd floor terrace to be at least wiped down each morning as it had old food and wrappers left on it from a couple eating there previous night. I appreciate the cleaners role doesn't include that but surely deterring rats etc and making it a clean place to sit would be good.

Lovely stay at the Penny!
Pros:

We stayed in the Queen nice room and it was perfect for us. We loved the fact that it had a kitchenette and the decor was very nice. The bed was very comfortable too! We will definitely stay again.

Cons:

A little pricey but I guess not comparable with most NYC hotels.

We'll be going back.
Pros:

Extremely well-designed room, comfortable bed and linens, shower, bathroom...ventilation/ac perfect...intuitive and just super well-thought out accommodations. General vibe: organized, employees happy, good place.

Cons:

Only thing was not particularly well sound insulated door with adjoining room...group came home at midnight and had "spirited" gathering...but really didn't interfere with sleep...
