Room: Room 612 is located in the far corner of the hotel, which is great for guests seeking a bit of privacy. The room itself is small but cozy and a large window lets in a lot of natural light. By the door is a large mirror that you can check yourself out in before stepping out into the trendy Williamsburg neighbourhood.
The bathroom is clean and is stocked with delightful Malin + Goetz bath products. Additionally, the glass enclosed rain shower delivers the right amount of water pressure.
A few steps into the room, you will see the king size bed, which features freshly white Frette Linens. The mini bar is well-stocked and a flat screen TV faces the bed at a good angle. There is ample counter space for you to get yourself organized on and put down your bags.
