Enjoyable stay. A couple suggestions for the room - offer kleenex; regular creamer rather than just hazel nut; instructions for lights-housekeeping apparently turned on the light over the sink which was helpful but then we couldn’t get it to go off; finally succeeded but were unable to leave a light on in the bathroom at night - they all went off. Tried calling the desk Sunday evening to ask assistance on the lights, but got no answer. Very confusing lighting system. Also realized I didn’t get a receipt and had to call to find out there was a $150 deposit that would be reimbursed, which is fine, but we were not informed and nothing in writing.

I split my trip into two parts—half in Manhattan and the other half in Williamsburg to be closer to friends. Choosing The Penny was a fantastic decision! The location is super convenient, and the tech-savvy amenities make everything so easy. It feels less like a hotel and more like you're staying in a cozy studio apartment. For longer stays, it’s even better: the little fridge and microwave are perfect touches since most hotels don’t offer those. Plus, they provide utensils and have great seating arrangements. The staff is amazing, and I truly enjoyed my stay. Can’t wait to come back soon!

I loved my stay at The Penny! The hotel has a unique flair that I appreciate and enjoy when traveling. The staff was friendly and helpful at all times. The location to public transportation, parks, restaurants and shopping is excellent. The only 5 star I didn’t give was on location. That is only because the block has some vacant buildings and a bit unkempt but I never felt unsafe.
