All another look, every moment for Instagram rather than substance and customer service.
Pros:

Beautiful location

Cons:

Lack of attention to detail. Not enough towels, only 1 robe and bathroom vanity was chipped and falling apart.

Pros:

The location was great and the hotel kind of reminded me of a vacation resort. My friend even said it smelled like vacation lol. I loved the room. It was spacious compared to most. The balcony was a nice size with an amazing view. The shower was big and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

My only complaint is that the tv wasn’t working and I called downstairs 3 times with no response. So I left it alone and ended up listening to my Bluetooth speaker instead.

A great stay in a nice area of Brooklyn
Pros:

Room was spacious and comfortable with an amazing view from the balcony. Hotel is in a great location too.
Staff were a little odd in some respects but might just be differences in US-vs-UK interacting.

Cons:

A triumphant 16-hour psychological reset, largely thanks to a staff and manager who treated my local staycation like a r
Pros:

Sleek and elegant

Cons:

Hopefully, the cleaning team be more mindful about the cleaning process during the peak season

Pros:

The location is great and the room is very comfortable and has a great view

Cons:

1. Guest gets only 2 hours at the pool during the stay which was kind of unpleasant surprise. I chose this hotel because of the amenities.

2. During our stay one of the elevators was broken and we didn’t got any solution or compensation

3. Every time we got back to the hotel the doorman isn’t very nice until you showed him that you are a guest of the hotel.

Expensive stay. Pool was nice but good luck getting a sun bed even if you are a guest.
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Hotel guests had limited time (2 hours only) at the pool on sun loungers which is really disappointing. This is because The William Vale sells the sun loungers to outside guests - meaning hotel guests don’t get priority. To use the sauna is also an extra fee. Everything is an extra fee.
