We had a fantastic stay. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was excellent---cozy, but SO comfortable. The scent in the room was overpowering at first, but natural and not synthetic-smelling, so it didn't bother me long term. It may bother others. The bed was a cloud of comfort. Having a little kitchenette was actually amazing---even in such a small room---and was something I didn't realize I needed in a hotel room. The pour-over coffee was an amazing touch. Our room was missing creamer, but didn't bother asking for some because it was good coffee as is, but that is a detail that should be checked. The location was really convenient for subway access and was walkable to a show at Warsaw, which is why we were visiting. A great weekend!

Great Stay.

We enjoyed our stay at The Penny Williamsburg. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. Nice little courtyard out back and we had a nice dinner at ElNico, their rooftop restaurant. Only a few minutes walk to the L train station. We loved the pour over coffee in the room and the free coffee downstairs in the morning.
