    The shower drain was a bit clogged/water was coming out very fast of the shower head. Surprisingly the hotel did not have complimentary water/fruit infused water in the lobby. I didn't like that I didn't have time to go to the pool but thats on me, lol.

    Very clean room I was in, pretty big room for NYC. Safe area, room comes with robe & slippers! The balcony was the best part - gorgeous view. The walls seem soundproof, I couldn't hear much outside of my room. Love that there are cameras present on each floor and the room set ups in the hallway give optimal privacy.

    The small room and the room were a bit overpriced.

    The room was very small but I liked the balcony and the bed was comfortable.

    I love staying there! Great location, often great views, friendly staff! The Westlight roof top restaurant/bar is awesome. Dinner at Leuca is expensive but excellent. I try to go if rooms rates are not too high. Lots of competition in terms of Hotels in the area.

    From what I could understand you had to make a reservation for the bar area and we weren't even sure what they served so that was annoying. We didn't get a chance to try out any of the food in the hotel this visit, but will certainly stay here again in the future.

    The view from our balcony on the 17th floor was amazing. The room was spacious and comfortable, I loved the water pressure in the shower, and all the little added touches just made us feel welcome. The elevators are fast and you can't beat the location with easy access to everything from the subway to the ferry.

    Strange/small “lobby.” Breakfast had to be put on luggage rack to eat inside. Cheap/damaged furnishings and flooring. Difficult to walk around the bed.

    The panoramic views as the elevator door opens to your floor. Staff were friendly and fast. In room breakfast was delicious. Le labo toiletries! Hot shower with great water pressure! Chromecast viewing from your phone to the tv. If you don’t want anything from the snack/mini bar just request for them to clear it. High ceilings. Lavazza coffee maker. Welcome cookies 🍪. LOCATION

    Front desk not very welcoming, cleaners make a lot of noise which I’ve not come across before. There was literally 4 cleaners in neighbouring room for an hour in the morning making a racket?

    Incredibly comfy rooms, nice views from Balcony, Westlight bar and Italian restaurant very nice! When pool opens will be some spot to chill out!

    I had expected five star service, but some of the staff were operating on a more three star vibe - carried my own three suitcases to my room, spent probably 5 minutes trying to call for room service (rings and hangs up a bunch of times), front desk doesn’t answer the room phone, etc. if you don’t need any help, you may not notice, and it’s lovely otherwise, but if you need something, the service was surprisingly absent - I ended up ordering out the second time I was left hanging on the phone for room service.

    Beautiful! Bed was so comfy and soft. View was so cool - right in the middle of Williamsburg, this place is great.
