Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Penny Williamsburg's vibrant and cheerful decor, as well as its prime location in Williamsburg, making it easy to walk to nearby restaurants and the Domino waterfront park with views of the Williamsburg Bridge and Manhattan skyline. The rooftop bar is a highlight, offering great decor, amazing views, and tasty guacamole, though some guests have noted that rooms can feel small. Many appreciate the in-room amenities such as the Fellow kettle with preground coffee and the complimentary coffee and pastries in the lobby each morning.

Minor Issues During My Visit

broken lamp missing supplies
The hotel had a really cool vibe.
I had some problems with the room. One lamp didn't work well, and it wasn't safely attached to the wall. the clock didn't work, and it was hard to clean the cups without soap or sponges.

faulty lamp missing soap
The staff was helpful and friendly. I stayed in a queen room.
The room was small. My husband would have felt cramped. the restaurant upstairs is nice. but the room needed some tlc. A lamp didn't work and wasn't securely attached. there was also no easy way to wash cups and cutlery, soap and sponges would help.
