Best stay ever!
Pros:

The hotel is in a very nice spot in Brooklyn! The shops and restaurants near by were very cool and it was a short trip to Manhattan to see Times Square on the subway. The staff was really helpful and so considerate of our time and needs. The room was so cute! I loved the vibe. I will definitely recommend going there again next time I take a trip to NYC!!

Ok hotel. Wouldn’t stay again because of the bed situation.
Pros:

Location and roof top restaurant/bar. Views were amazing.

Cons:

The bed was screed into the wall so if you needed to get up in the night you had to climb over the other person to get out.

Peut mieux faire pour le prix et le 4 étoiles…
Pros:

L’emplacement top
La déco top
Rooftop super

Cons:

Notre première chambre était très bruyante car la fenêtre mal isolée. Nous avons pu changer de chambre et c’était beaucoup mieux !!
Par contre la propreté n’est pas au rdv. Pour un 4 étoiles je m’attendais à mieux. La déco est très belle mais je pense de mauvaise qualité : le sol était sale et très abîmé, les portes du meuble cuisine ne ferme pas, les mitigeurs perdent leur couleur etc.

Will stay again!
Pros:

We kicked off the first leg of our honeymoon at The Penny Williamsburg. Everyone was so helpful and accommodating with our earlier arrival. Every detail was so well thought of! Easy access to subway stations and surrounded by coffee shops! Beyond worth the value

a true dog friendly hotel
Pros:

It was clean with good amenities. Most of all we loved that it was dog friendly with no additional cost and even provides dog bed and a bowl.

Fun weekend in Brooklyn
Pros:

Very good service and advise on where to take a wonderful bike ride. Well-appointed room with nice amenities. Great bar with cocktails, excellent guac and fantastic view from to level. When we messed up the powered window shade, they fixed it swiftly. Would stay here again.
