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.

Great location - but room needed repair
I love the location of the Penny, and the staff is great. This was my second stay, the first being a few months back. The rooms are cute and clean, with a few notable design flaws. I got the same room each time, identifiable by the broken reading light hanging from the headboard. I was surprised to see it again, months later, still visibly broken. It made me wonder if this room is kept in ratty shape and just rented out to hotel tonight and hotel.com customers? This time though, the automated blind was also broken and could not be lowered. I was exhausted and coming down with something (had lost my voice and could barely speak), so I told the front desk about the problem but couldn't wait for them to send a technician. I wasn't confident that they'd be able to do so quickly, and I just had to get to sleep.

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.
