EDIT: from five to four to three quickly. After I checked out, I saw I was charged an additional 30 plus dollars from the bar today. Certainly wasn't me. Don't know if someone charged to my room or what. They refunded it, but this has been plenty enough for me to say not again, no thanks. Get it together, people.
Previous: I am being generous to knock this down from five to four. I've stayed here a couple times now, and from the beginning, I've admitted other moxy hotels (especially the lower east side) are more my style.
The bar in this one results in a constantly crowded lobby, with most of the people not even staying at the hotel. This time around, while waiting to order my mediocre drink (so that my mandatory destination fee doesn't go to waste), the bartenders overtly ignored me.
The main issue this time around: I had a 4 PM checkout. I tried to use today, the day after I finished a string of seven 12 hour shifts, to rest. Housekeeping absolutely ruined the whole day. I know they are hardworking, I know they have a job to do. But this hotel is small and cramped and the WHOLE DAY, from like 10:30 AM til after 3 PM today, there is so much banging, and yelling, and phone ringing, and talking. It was wild enough I cancelled my next reservation.
Williamsburg is far less interesting than the LES anyway.
The front desk checkin staff are still VERY nice and accommodating, and they are doing their very best. Can't fault them for anything.
