Arlo Williamsburg

Our stay was pleasent.

Liked: Location, Rooftop
Disliked: Nothing

Not all that glitters is...

Liked: The hotel is beautiful but be warned there is a bit of clash between the two design styles but they both are designed beautifully. The exposed brick really elevates areas such as the common space, and the bathrooms blue tiles whisks you away to a far away European getaway. The corner rooms and the rooftop bar had some phenomenal sweeping views of the city. The hotel has a very lovely social atmosphere, and the experiences with the staff ranged from polite yet clinical at worst to phenomenal at best.
Disliked: Their price is way too much for a hotel that doesn’t really offer much of anything beyond a place to sleep. First night the water tower was closed as their permeant day off, which is understandable and no fault to anyone. The hotel then informs guests as dinner time is approaching that the only other bar/restaurant is closed. Only thing to consume was burgers or pizza. Second night the hotel closed the water tower bar, yes their crown jewel was closed. Upon further review it appears that this is a common occurrence, meaning that a systemic issue is afoot. Now my main issue is that due to the closure of the water tower bar due to a private event reduced the number of working elevators to the hotel guests down from 2 to 1. It took me 20 minutes roundtrip travel from my room down to the lobby to get my food. The second elevator was used to lift the guests of the private event Lastly, the safety compliance is nonexistent. Nobody was guarding the pool that albeit a bit shallow is still very much a danger as there is a bar directly across serving drinks to people who are clearly overserved. Exit signs that led to nowhere and expired fire extinguishers

Liked: Went for a birthday staycation. Had a wonderful time and would totally go back. They were really accommodating and upgraded us to a nicer room with balcony and city view for my birthday, and sent us a bottle of bubbly to celebrate. Clean swimming pool with a beautiful city view. Great service at the rooftop bar. We were able to work from the cafe downstairs the next day and nobody rushed us. Great location with access to amazing bars, bakeries, restaurants, shops and vintage stores, workout studios, etc.

Liked: This is the place to stay in Willamsburg. It’s now officially my home away from home when in NYC.
