“Penny Williamsburg's hip Brooklyn perch”
Penny Williamsburg is a cute, colorful boutique — cozy smaller-than-chain rooms made up for by style, pour-over coffee kits, fresh fruit, a microwave, yoga mat, blocks and a foam roller, an actually-included breakfast of croissants and rolls (better than chains), a wonderful eleventh-floor restaurant and bar, welcome oranges, a painting-like view, a friendly desk, and a ten-minute walk to the L train with McCarren Park nearby for runners. One severe dissent: the room did not match photos — nowhere to sit besides the bed, dirty spots on arrival and feeble explanations; do not stay.
