The Penny was just perfect for us! Beautiful hotel, spacious and light rooms and lovely added touches (such as the fresh coffee and local recommendations card). Williamsburg did not disappoint and we absolutely loved the area. We will be back and have already recommended it to friends and family!

Had a great stay! Everything is clean and well maintained. Only thing is that the restaurant is closed on Monday which means no dining room service, which sucked. But i will definitely stay again!

They had filtered water stations on each floor and provided carafes to collect water. Ice trays were in the freezer so no need to go find ice.Also, loved pour over coffee system with directions. We had the Niche Queen. Just right for a night stay in New York area.
