We were cheering our daughter for the NY Marathon, and this was the perfect location! Close to the train stations, good chill neighborhoods and clean, functional and cozy rooms. The yoga mat and block were an added bonus to stretch out after all the walking!

There is no sound dampening whatsoever in the rooms that have a connecting room. We were woken up by 6am by the guests next door having loud conversations and we heard every single word and cabinet that opened and closed, and every time they used the restroom. The FD should have had more insight into where they are placing guests because the connecting door really ruined our whole trip. Dampen the audio around those doors, and I know you all have gotten this complaint prior. Please do something about it.

The Penny is such a great place to stay in Williamsburg! As first-time visitors to New York, we loved being just across the water — it offered a completely different perspective of the Big Apple while still being super convenient for getting into Manhattan. There are plenty of fantastic places to eat nearby — we’d recommend Four Horsemen and L’Industrie Pizzeria for dinner, and Apollo Bagels for breakfast! We stayed in a Queen Room, which was the perfect size for two people. We loved the vibe and the beds were super comfy and the room was quiet. Having a fridge, sink, and kettle was really useful, and we appreciated the complimentary in-room coffee too. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to check out the rooftop bar since we were so busy exploring the city, but it looked great. The staff were friendly and helpful — we had a few questions about our bill, and they resolved everything quickly. We did have a couple of small issues with the room upon arrival (some lights not working and the toilet door not closing properly), but it didn’t affect our stay overall and we let the staff know. We really enjoyed our time at The Penny and would happily stay again!

The Penny is the only place I stay when I visit Brooklyn. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the room is an excellent use of space. Whenever I arrive early, I am permitted to check in if the room is ready, if not they will store my luggage. The staff is friendly and helpful. Keep up the great work!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The room itself feels cozy and comfortable, a snug fit, no wasted space. Very thoughtful and intentional inclusions, from the oranges, silverware, fridge and yoga mat. The room was clean well furnished and cutely decorated the bathroom was modern and luxurious. Loved the scented lotion and body wash. Great amount of storage with the closet. Location was wonderful for us walkable to great restaurants for dinner and breakfast. We went primarily to get a tattoo at a nearby studio, so the proximity was perfect. Couldn’t recommend a better place for the price, we got a good deal online. Thanks, can’t wait to go back.
