For some reason the water in the bathroom and kitchenette would not get cold at all - only got hot water, which isn't great for drinking :( Also, the shower wasn't sealed good and leaked all over the bathroom floor. I also found it difficult to find the TV remote, which was located in the box that the TV was housed within. Other than that, my short stay was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop and the little details such as the oranges, adorable robes, and message board. It was convenient having the breakfast items available to purchase as well as the free coffee so I didn't have to wander to find something.

The Penny was 100% worth it. For the same price as the stuffy hotels in midtown you can get a clean, quiet and modern hotel in a safe neighborhood near great food and reliable transit. We will be back.

Perfection!

From the moment we checked in to checkout our experience was amazing. We had a two day stay and everything and everyone was perfect. Parking was even easy as we were able to park right outside the hotel on the street. The room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable. Thank you to all the staff for making our trip more enjoyable.

Loved our stay!

The cutest hotel I’ve ever stayed in! Loved the art in each room and throughout the hotel, plus the little things like the robes, pour-over coffee, books on art and New York, and high-quality toiletries.

First time at this hotel and we would go back

Very glad we stayed in a deluxe queen so there was the ability to get in and out of bed on both sides. The staff are very good! We had a problem with our air conditioning (room 207) which improved the next day after they sent up an engineer. However it was the fan they gave us that saved the three nights. Very nice roof top bar and cute decor in the lobby and rooms.

The property has an art vibe cute decor and everything you need. Taco restaurant on top. The rooms are small but not uncommon for New York, but they made great use of the space provided and the bathroom is a good size. It came with a large fridge, microwave, coffee kettle and steamer. Loved the small table and comfortable chairs. Nice themed room!
