"Penny Williamsburg is a hybrid hotel and housing for graduate students. The 118 guest rooms are stylish and comfortable, featuring exposed concrete ceilings, hardwood floors, and plush settees and armchairs. The hotel is located on a quiet side street in Williamsburg, with a short walk to several excellent bars and restaurants. The in-house rooftop bar and restaurant, ElNico, offers panoramic views of the Williamsburg and Manhattan skylines." - Lyndsey Matthews
