Quiet cool environment, clean and staff was helpful .
Staff was very friendly, design was nice. The facilities were lacking. Hallway carpets were stained. Bathroom towel had a giant rip down the middle. No bathrobes, no mini bar, not even bottled water for purchase in the rooms. Safe was broken. The hotel seemed pretty under booked yet we were given a room right next to the laundry room/closet. Hotel staff was in and out of the laundry room slamming the door. At one point a staff member was was listening to music on his phone speakers while standing outside our door at the closet. It wouldn't be a big deal except this was after 1am and we had a 6am.
If you need a great spot for a few nights in Williamsurg, this is a good choice. It's close to shops, subway and bars/restaurants. Staff were great, especially Martin who made us feel welcome from the second we opened the door. The manager was also great and helped figure out best transport options for us into the city and to airport.
popularity of room bar meant a lot of people around the hotel.
Had a bad experience in the middle of the night. Intermittent beeping noise (like a smoke detector battery going bad but softer). I called downstairs and eventually a maintenance guy came up and when I began explain the problem he finished my sentence as he knew exactly what I was talking about. He said the noise was coming from behind the wall and I would need to change rooms. Really. 3:40AM. I toughed it out and they gave me $50 towards my bill. Probably should have done more for a restless nights sleep. In addition - light next to the bed didn't work and the phone was not lit. And why can't placed put an outlet next to the bed for your iphone?!
The hotel and staff are amazing and the location is great, everything is in walking distance. The only problem was the price, for this price I expected more, a spa maybe? I just know I've dated at the W hotel for cheaper and have gotten more.
We came at 3:30 pm and the room was not ready. Front desk person was very unhelpful.He did not want to do anything. Everything what I asked he told me no. Not worst money what they charge. Very overpriced
King & Grove is located across from McCarren park and a short walk from the Bedford L, surrounded by area bars, restaurants and shops
