8/10 Very Good! (1,271 reviews)
This hotel is in a calm area of Williamsburg. Amazing room! The bed is huge! I didn’t really need the balcony considering it was next to a brick wall, but I of course shouldn’t expect anything of real view in New York unless you’re paying around $1,000 for a room, but overall it was great!

I was disappointed with our room. I specifically asked in advance for a room away from the elevator because I was traveling with my elderly mother and children. Unfortunately, we were given a room right next to the elevator, with the elevator shaft directly behind the wall. There was constant loud banging and noise, especially at night, which made it difficult to sleep. I was disappointed that my request was ignored.
