Took my first solo trip to NY and couldn't have picked a better place - location is great and well connected, and the hotel has all the amenities, service and decoration that is exactly what I'd want from a stay in Brooklyn!

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.

We stayed here while visiting our daughter in Williamsburg. The location was perfect between 2 stops on the L. It was easy to get to Manhattan for shows The hotel was very clean and although the room wasn't large, it was efficiently designed, so we had everything we needed. The rooftop deck was lovely! I would stay here again.
