The Penny was a great place to stay for my visit to Brooklyn and NYC! It's a 5 minute walk from the metro station, and there are plenty of things to do from an easy walking distance. My room was clean, stylish, and the bed very comfortable.

Everytime we come to Brooklyn we stay here! We always enjoy the staff and the ambiance of it all. Everything is so pleasing to the subtle details of the room to the vibe of the rooftoop bar. They really put care into making sure the boutique hotel leaves a lasting impression.

This is a quaint boutique hotel with an amazing rooftop restaurant/bar! Beautiful view! The room we stayed in was tiny but we made it work for 3 nights. We felt safe and it was quiet despite being fairly close to the freeway. Walkable to many locations.
