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.

Really loved this unique property! Parking at the nearby garage was good (and cheap for the city) however, I was misinformed at check in regarding the rooftop restaurant. They told me the kitchen was open until midnight but when I went up at 11 pm after I got back from a concert, my server said the kitchen was closed. So disappointed. Ended up having to order delivery.

This hotel has a lot of potential, aesthetically speaking. The art inside on the walls was fun to look at, the live plants were a nice touch. For the price (almost $1200) of two nights, it could have been nicer and staff could have been more friendly. Housekeeping forgot to leave us more toilet paper when they cleaned our room, that was annoying and inconvenient. The shower curtain in the bathroom was an old plastic one that didn’t provide any coverage. It was curling back on the sides because of how old and crispy it was. So the bathroom floor ended up getting super wet every time we showered. At check out, I asked if they sell the body wash, and they do, but it was sold out and also costs $55 (yikes). All of the bath products smell great, but the manager should consider lowering the price for guests. The bed was comfortable but the floor felt dirty. The light switch by the door was confusing and seemed to turn the power off to the entire room. Like I previously stated, the hotel could do better in a few areas for the sake of the guests who are already spending so much money to be in the city.

Very small room, hotel lobby very cold, no where to sit. Coffee tasted like gas station coffee. Not a comfortable lobby area . Room most of floor not covered with rug- just at bed- concrete ceiling, had an odor. The shower leaked out into the bathroom floor.

The hotel itself is very cute, the rooms have a smart and efficient layout, and the staff is incredible!! Plus the rooms smell very clean!! BUT… mine and my coworker’s showers both flooded the floor from bad sealing, and the bed in my room was so hard and uncomfortable my back hurts today. But that could just be a me thing!

We loved our stay. The staff was excellent and the room was clean and just what we needed. We had an issue with the AC and I called the front desk and they immediately had someone come to resolve it, though the AC just overall wasn’t super strong. Thankfully it was not summer in full swing so it was manageable. The window was damaged probably from a previous guest but other than that the room was stylish and chic. They held our bags for us and we appreciated their service. The lobby was very small though so it did feel a little crowded at times. The location was awesome, close to lots of food, bars, shops, and conveniently located near the subway. Overall, a solid 4.5/5 stars! I would definitely come back. The price was challenging but that seems like the standard NYC hotel cost these days, unfortunately.
