A departure from the ordinary!
We enjoyed a wonderful 2 night stay at Penny! The staff was professional, down to earth and friendly. The room was a delightful departure from a drab hotel. Bright, cheerful and artsy! I highly recommend everyone who goes to Williamsburg to enjoy staying here!

Cute, stylish, but a little too pricey ....
We had a credit of $100 for food, but the restaurant was given over to a private party and horribly noisy and not fit for dining. Could not use credit for breakfast because we needed to leave before 9am and breakfast wasn't served until 9am.

Had a housekeeping issue upon arrival. When i visited the front desk they responded immediately - walked back to my room with me and escorted me to a new room. Such personal and caring service - thank you. Front desk always smiling and polite when we walked by. Would stay again.

A quick overnight stay for work but love the small boutique feel and rooftop restaurant. The aesthetic is on point and the drinks and small plates were really tasty. I was there in a Sunday and they were closed by 9:45 pm. Wish the bar was at least open until their posted time of 10.

Nice area to find boutique coffee shops and restaurants. Staff was welcoming and responsive to our needs. The rooms are well-appointed, with comfortable beds and essential necessities. Rooms service is a bit lagged but still friendly. There's a roof-top bar worth visiting.
