The overall “fun” vibe with bright art work seen everywhere including my room made this a cheerful place to stay. I’m used to the bland sterile hotel chains ,but I decided on something different , and glad I did. The staff were all very welcoming and professional. I also enjoyed making my own pour over coffee. I definitely plan on staying here on my next visit to New York!

Overall, everything was good! Only two notes. 1. ADA shower was pretty small and the curtain was even smaller, to the point where it was almost negligible. There was practically no way to stop water from getting all over the entire bathroom floor. 2. Not a huge fan of the clown colored bath robe :) Unless its meant to be an art piece for the room. In that case, go off!

My husband and I stayed here and had a wonderful experience! The staff went above and beyond in every way. Our room was clean, cozy, and quiet. We witnessed the most beautiful sunset from the hotel’s rooftop restaurant/bar, where the food and drinks were delicious! The hotel is in a fun Williamsburg neighborhood, within walking distance of restaurants, bars, shops, and more. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
