Penny Williamsburg

The design of the hotel was cool and the rooftop bar had lovely views across the city. Aircon worked well, and you can Chromecast to the TV. The turndown service was very responsive and made our room very clean and tidy each day. The area around the hotel had a good collection of shops and cafes and it didn't take too long to get into town.

The Penny is my home when I visit my son in Brooklyn.This is about my 5th stay The rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff is great, very kind, helpful, and accommodating. I love the location...very close to McCarren Park and lots of great restaurants. There are a few subway stops available and grocery stores close by. It's very convenient to get into Manhattan and so many things to explore right out the door. I love the coffee in the room and downstairs in the morning too and also the mini fridge. The outdoor space is peaceful and the art is great. Every time I visit there is a new convenience...last time it was a full size fridge in the lobby stocked with drinks and snacks for purchase.

Lovely property, exceptionally well-designed room, comfortable (if a tad small, but this is NYC after all). Friendly staff. The pour-over coffee in the room is delicious. Great shower with wonderful water pressure. Excellent stay. Sidenote: Some of the best pizza in NYC is a short walk away.

From pre-arrival to check-out, everything flowed smoothly. Email response time was quick, hassle-free check-in and front desk was always available to help. They even organized a car service to JFK. Rooms are cleverly designed to even accommodate a kitchenette, and they have free coffee! Perfect location in Williamsburg close to L and G trains, with plenty of restaurants and bars around. Neighborhood feels safe and quiet. Bonus: rooftop bar! They even have free bike rentals for guests to roam around Brooklyn.

The location is in a nice neighborhood and the ability to park our car in a safe parking garage close by - was convenient. The Penny has a cheerful bright fresh decor. The staff is very friendly and would greet us happily each time we stepped into the lobby. There was fresh coffee and tasty pastries in the morning in the lobby. The rooftop bar was super fun - great decor, super view and friendly service. The fresh guacamole was amazing! Next time we will try to eat dinner at the restaurant. The art thru out the hotel is original and upbeat. The room was lay out was well done. The bed comfortable. It felt like someone really thought about how a guest would use the facilities. It is now our favorite hotel in Williamsburg /Brooklyn. The location is great for walking to restaurants and the waterfront (don’t miss the Domino waterfront park near the Williamsburg bridge. There is a great view of the Williamsburg bridge and the Manhattan skyline!
