Excellent and affordable hotel. Close to everything in this super trendy area. The staff were super friendly, there’s tons of space in the room, they clean really well daily. The only thing that I found a bit hard to manoeuvre was the shower but once I figured it out, it was not too difficult. I’d stay in this hotel again next time I’m in Williamsburg. Thanks.

It's a fine hotel. Was just very expensive for what's essentially a studio apartment set up in Williamsburg.
