Best for
This property is best suited to travelers who want a Williamsburg stay with fast subway access—Metropolitan station is a short walk—and easy reach to Manhattan attractions like the Empire State Building and Times Square. It also fits guests who value on-site leisure breaks, thanks to the seasonal outdoor pool with sundeck and poolside bar/eatery, plus a 24-hour gym.
Travel tips
If you’re planning to tour Manhattan landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal (about 4.9 km) or the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (about 5.2 km), use the nearby Metropolitan subway station for straightforward city access. Breakfast and parking are available for a fee, so factor those into your budget if you’re driving or want on-site morning convenience. Because the pool is seasonal and has specific rules mentioned by guests, confirm current pool hours and any age/time restrictions before you plan a pool day.

Staff experiences appear mixed: some guests call out helpful front-desk interactions and local recommendations, while others report unfriendly service.
