We had the best time at the Penny! Came for a little staycation with our cat and dog and were so pleased with choice! We read great reviews before coming and they were all true!! The customer service was excellent. Our room was cute and clean with good sunlight and nice dark curtains! We were allowed early checkin and late check out! They were so sweet to our dog and cat and the facilities are perfect! Rooftop was beautiful and pet friendly and the little dog patio is perfect for a little potty break! Will def be coming back!!

I'd rather not give an honest review because it will simply create more competition for me to secure a room in the future. But this wonderful hotel deserves it. The staff was at least 5-stars. The room was 5-stars. The coffee and pastries were 5-stars. And our experience overall was at least 5-stars. Thanks Penny Hotel. You have a new regular. Please - never change.

This is our second stay here, and honestly, the room itself is what keeps me coming back. It’s small but efficient, clean, and I genuinely like the Dusen Dusen design touches — it’s one of the few hotels in the area that doesn’t feel generic. That said, the amenities could use some TLC. They give you loose coffee grounds, but who knows how fresh they are, and there were only two bags of tea… both looking a little past their prime. You can hear the highway, but it’s still quieter than staying at the Moxy on the other side of Williamsburg where the train overhead and hallway noise never let up. Since we have pets, they’ve put us in the back of the hotel both times, which definitely feels like a pattern. Parking is inconvenient and not attached to the building. And the destination fee — for what, exactly? It feels unnecessary and a little insulting, especially considering the location is just okay at best, basically under the BQE.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Penny Williamsburg. The room was clean, quiet, bed was comfortable, room decor was beautiful, lovely shower, kitchenette was so useful for breakfast and snacks. We loved the complimentary oranges and the rooftop views. The hotel staff were pleasant. The location is close to subway stops, restaurants and shopping. Would stay here again.

The room was well designed. You cannot control the heat/AC.thats why I dropped a star. Hotel was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Not sure what the resort fee was for? Still wondering! Great location. The roof top restaurant serves Mexican food, delicious and gluten free. Would recommend this hotel.

It's an ok hotel, although, as an european, I found it overpriced and not really a 4*. This hotel is better suited for solo (young) travellers and people who don't have a lot of expectations from a 4* hotel. The bathroom was quite small and it had a mildew smell (poor ventilation). The window was not very good and you could hear outside noise all night.
