Love The Penny!
My third time at the Penny to visit family in the area. Great location for Williamsburg and for going into the city. Well thought out, comfortable rooms and great service. Love the rooftop restaurant…went for drinks and appetizers…amazing views, delicious guac and comfy couches for a group. Will be back!

Penny has the most thoughtful touches in a room I’ve ever seen, including a foam roller, yoga mat and block, and a small breakfast nook with fresh fruit. Room was meticulously clean and staff was kind and attentive. Will be staying again!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was even smaller than expected which is saying something. We chose this hotel primarily for it's location and because the reviews said it was clean. It wasn't as clean as I was hoping unfortunately. (A few stains on the sheets and towels, on the carpet in the hallway, etc.) But generally we felt comfortable and it was super convenient for hanging out in BK with friends.

Tiny little rooms contribute to the NYC experience. While compact, the space is very comfortable. Bathroom is big enough and the small but serviceable sitting area was a plus. Pour over coffee set-up a highlight! Convenient location walkable to everything with a fully stocked deli/bodega around the corner. ElNico restaurant is quite fancy and the food was very good. Mexican food not my favorite but the guacamole and ceviche were to die for. Fabulous cocktails and a stunning view. Only quibble: need more than 4 hangers!

Penny was a great stay for our trip to NYC. The location was so convenient (super close to the subway) and the amenities were everything we needed. It was super clean and super cute! Definitely recommend to those looking for a quaint place to stay while visiting the city!

It felt too sterile and institutional, the room was clean but too minimal, the concrete ceiling made it feel more unfinished than a good design choice. The whole minimalist design choice didn't like a good one in the cold winter. The outside areas were all closed down because of the weather. Only a few dried out snacks were available on a rack across from the check in counter. Wrong time of the year to have given this a try. On top of that, in addition to the room rate and fees/taxes they charge a $34.43 additional per day as a "destination fee" when you check out. Really?

We came to stay for New Years and it was a great hotel! Very clean, minimalist, and cozy. Staff were great and very welcoming. It also passed the bed bug check; I am very paranoid about staying in hotels because of that reason, but Penny Williamsburg was so clean and felt like a home away from home. The only thing that wasn't working or what we couldn’t figure out what the fan in the bathroom! Overall, great stay, great hotel, and great staff.

Fine hotel. Friendly front desk staff.
No tissues?! It was back to college days using toilet paper to blow my nose. When the shower door opens outward it gets the whole floor wet. I wish there had been a comfy chair to sit in, vs just a very hard bench. On the other hand the staff at the front desk were friendly and inviting. I also appreciated the frig, microwave, and second sink.

Horrible customer service and extra charges
The customer service was horrible. I booked the hotel for 3 nights and I had to cancel my reservation foor unforseen circumstances which was within the cancellation window. The hotel refused my cancellation request and changed for for the entire 3 nights stay.
