The Penny was just perfect for us! Beautiful hotel, spacious and light rooms and lovely added touches (such as the fresh coffee and local recommendations card). Williamsburg did not disappoint and we absolutely loved the area. We will be back and have already recommended it to friends and family!

Had a great stay! Everything is clean and well maintained. Only thing is that the restaurant is closed on Monday which means no dining room service, which sucked. But i will definitely stay again!

The Penny was a great place to stay for my visit to Brooklyn and NYC! It's a 5 minute walk from the metro station, and there are plenty of things to do from an easy walking distance. My room was clean, stylish, and the bed very comfortable.

They had filtered water stations on each floor and provided carafes to collect water. Ice trays were in the freezer so no need to go find ice.Also, loved pour over coffee system with directions. We had the Niche Queen. Just right for a night stay in New York area.

Everytime we come to Brooklyn we stay here! We always enjoy the staff and the ambiance of it all. Everything is so pleasing to the subtle details of the room to the vibe of the rooftoop bar. They really put care into making sure the boutique hotel leaves a lasting impression.

This is a quaint boutique hotel with an amazing rooftop restaurant/bar! Beautiful view! The room we stayed in was tiny but we made it work for 3 nights. We felt safe and it was quiet despite being fairly close to the freeway. Walkable to many locations.
