Fun Weekend
I enjoyed staying at the Penny. It was convenient to a lot of attractions in Brooklyn, the service was great and responsive, and I especially liked the free bikes available to tour around in. I would definitely stay again!

I like how close it was to transportation. Entertainment on the TV was good and wifi. Check-in was simple and quick. Staff seemed but more helpful to other guests though. It wasn’t a very clean room either. There was a stain in the comforter, wondering it it was even changed or washed. I really really dislike the smell of the soap. Please change that.

Loved our stay here, between the fun, funky decor, the simple check-in/check-out, and the pour-over coffee, everything was perfect. Finding free street parking was easy, and the location was very convenient, being only a short walk to the subway. The room was clean and very spacious compared to many other NYC hotels we have stayed at. Will definitely stay here again!

Oh the Penny! You’ve completely won me over. I stumbled upon this new chic boutique hotel for a last minute trip to my former city. The property is new and clean. While the rooftop is absolutely beautiful! What a great experience & I’ll definitely see you my next visit.

Our room was clean and very sleek with lots of nice little touches like real cutlery, a bath robe and a steamer. We didn’t get a chance to eat in the rooftop restaurant but we did pop up to check it out. The view is amazing.

The staff is so helpful and friendly. I stayed in a queen room. It was only me in the room, so it was fine. If my husband would have been there, it would have been tight. The restaurant upstairs is great!
