Loved my stay at The Penny Williamsburg! Accommodating and amazing staff. The room felt very homey and it was a great experience overall - not really a big deal that the “mini couch” had chlorine stains which was understandable. Great area to be in as there are cafes and restaurants that are walking distance. Will definitely stay here again when I’m in town!

Artsy Boutique Hotel

Adorable boutique style place. The room Was perfect for 3 people. We had a queen with a sofa sleeper. The room was a great size especially when the sleeper sofa was folded up. The room was super clean. It also had a great little coffee area. The rooftop was a great way to end the night!
