Wythe Hotel

This hotel is immaculate and absolutely everybody is above and beyond pleasant. Though not directly affiliated with the hotel, Inexpensive, super clean and very easily accessible parking is a two minute walk away at 25 Kent St. We paid $64 for 2 1/2 days of parking. The room was incredible. Exposed brick walls with super high ceilings, the bathroom had a huge tub and a wonderful shower. Pro tip: if traveling with someone that you do not want to see you naked, understand that it is not a one-way mirror over the bar and you absolutely CAN see into the shower While someone is showering. Luckily I was with my daughter, so this was not a real issue. The restaurant within the hotel and the Ramen place directly next-door are both wonderful. I did not make it to the rooftop bar this time but since I absolutely will stay at this hotel every time I come to visit I will check it out next time! The room was extremely quiet, temperature was easy to control. Now, a little too much honesty, I am an extremely “sensitive” person, and resting and hearing so much from the second I stepped into this hotel. I was never scared, as I definitely don’t typically get scared, but I had numerous very genuine and very obvious things happen while I say that this hotel, such as seeing things walk across the hall in both my room and the hallway, in the main lobby bathroom someone walked into the bathroom and into the stall next to me, but never left, and when I looked, there was no one there,and I was in the shower. I could hear several men talking to each other as if they were right next to me. I was definitely not hearing people from another room. I also heard the door to the stair well open, which is right next to our room and I was right next to the door so when I looked, there was nobody there and I pulled it shut again. Just out of curiosity, as to what was there prior to the hotel, on the way home my daughter looked up the history to the hotel. Let’s just say it was very enlightening as to why i was experiencing so much activity in this hotel, especially on the third floor next to what I will assume would have been a fire escape at some point. It also may explain why the first thing that went through my mind when I opened the front door of the hotel and turned to my daughter and said “I’m surprised the hotel gets away with door opening inward. It goes against fire code. Anyway, You can look up the history yourself and understand all that I have said. :-)  either way, a spectacular hotel at a decent price and a very safe and beautiful part of the city. I will definitely stay here again!

Loud music from venues such as weddings, well past midnight. Requested noise issue be addressed and it was not. Needed several reminders. Eventually at 1Am it stopped. No place for clothes except a few hangers. Fridge full of over priced items so little room for own stuff. Housekeeping awful. Asked desk as I left for 4 hours to clean room, was not done.

Many staff are very pleasant. Our experience has been less than ideal. The hotel is in an excellent location to explore Williamsburg. It is clean with a lovely, bright decor. Hot water is spot on. Comfortable bed. The not great: if you stay on the 8th floor you may be kept up by the clanging of the elevator. When we inquired, front desk said "Yeah. It's an old elevator." They offered us a room on the 7th floor. The noise was still present but not as loud. Unfortunately, a water bottle we got at the Yankees home opener was left in our old room when we had to change. Front desk said they would investigate but did not contact us. Given the price point, such a lack of service is disappointing. If your stay has no hiccups it will go well. But if you have an issue, do not expect a prompt and professional resolution. The best staff person who offered help was the head of housekeeping (did not catch her name). She said she would followup. No other staff cared. We care, though. That water bottle obviously wasn't a computer or a passport. But it meant a lot to us.
