    The door for the toilet
    Quien B.

    My experience here was good. I came here on a Thursday night. I loved the hallway and then when I got to the room it was so cute; from the shower with the full glass to the enclosed section for the toilet!! I had no complaints!! Then Friday morning when I went to check out the staff was very welcoming and warming; they said good morning and wished us a good day!!!

    We loved our experience at the Arlo Williamsburg! We went for a girls' trip, and this spot is perfect for a quick jaunt to the city. In a trendy, young part of the city, the Arlo was quirky and unique, yet classy and very well done. The rooms were spacious enough, and bathrooms were renovated and so chic. The view...the view was SPECTACULAR. We also got dinner at Sungold, which was worth going back to genuinely just for the focaccia!

    Incredible hospitality by the Arlo W. This hotel is top tier, along with their rooftop. We had an amazing time here! The views are breathtaking during sunset hour. Definitely worth checking out.

    Really enjoyed the pool and spacias vibe for all group types. I went solo and mingled around. Really fun spot for a pool rooftop!

    I came here last night with my cousin. Because stamp was hosting a party on the rooftop, it was such a great vibe. Such great views Also, the DJ was playing all the hits. I loved it. It was so packed. The bartenders were very fast and getting drinks done and all I know. It was such a great night. I had so much fun with my cousin. It was great. I also love the smell of the hotel, smelled like forest wood. I'll go back again.

    This is a multifaceted review. I have wanted to stay here for YEARS, but just couldn't justify the cost. After having seen the bathroom on instagram (thank you aprettycoolhoteltour), it was on my bucket list. I just spent a month overseas in Uganda on fellowship, so this seemed like the perfect time for a splurge on the most amazing indoor plumbing I could find. We booked without knowing about the rooftop pool, so that was the most spectacular accident (even though we had to buy a swimsuit for my husband who had JUST picked me up from the airport). The hotel proper/accomodations: Listen. It doesn't get more luxurious. The soaking tub overlooking Manhattan during a lightening storm was just outrageous. I could not have dreamt a better experience. The shower was perfect. Dual heads, hand held shower attachments, with the option to open the door for fresh air. After not having a hot shower for a month, this was sensational. The bed was so soft, the linens were clean, cozy... and the cherry on top there? The blinds that can be opened with a remote revealing the stunning view. The coffee maker in the room did not work, but honestly, that was hardly even worth mentioning. The mini bar is well appointed, and more reasonably priced than most I've seen. The restaurant/bar downstairs: We had the breakfast option with our room, having breakfast both mornings. The food was delicious, with plenty of options for those of us who cannot have gluten! The mimosas were delicious, the coffee was perfect. The service... slow. Like really slow. He was friends enough, but moved with no sense of urgency at all. The pool/pool bar: I hate to echo the other reviews here, but alas. It's the only reason I dropped a star. The young ladies at the check in were super friendly during both visits (although when we reserved our cabana for a relaxing morning, I wish we had been alerted that it was mommy and me swim time). The first time, we opted to walk up to the bar for our drinks. The service was friendly, although a little pricey. Cabana rental day, service was awful. We hardly saw our server, then when another one came on, she was wicked rude. We waited an hour and a half for another drink, as she was very busy serving bottle service guests. She actually put her finger up at me because I was trying to speak to her. The manager ended up comping our next drink, which was nice, but I do expect people to at least be kind to their guests. This service area needs desperate improvement.

    One of my favorite venues in the area because of the views. The staff is pretty friendly, the bathrooms are relatively clean and sound-system is decent. My only complaint is that staff need to figure out a better way of choosing exit points once events have completed. Since one particular event I went to recently was sold out, it became a project to figure how to exit the establishment safely.

    I'm sad to say that I am really disappointed with my stay here. This was the final night of a long-awaited honeymoon (5 years delayed due to COVID) and it really put a damper to the end of an amazing two week honeymoon. We chose to splurge on a "City View Studio" room for July 4th which was double our usual budget that we'd typically spend on a hotel room. I like to think of myself as an optimist, so I will start with the 2 positives: (1) I loved the vibe, decor, and location of the hotel. These were the main reasons for booking the Arlo Williamsburg to begin with. (2) The staff at the hotel was very friendly. Now to the negatives: Room Discrepancies * Booked the 'City View Studio' room for 2 specific features: 1. The Bathroom which showed a soaking tub with a separate shower... separated from the sink with a glass partition & a private toilet room (as shown on the website photos as well as in the room details description). 2. A balcony with a city view for fireworks. * What I Received: * A shower/tub combo (small, not as pictured). * No glass partition, so the water splashed everywhere. * No private toilet room; a poorly designed sliding barn door gave no privacy from the bedroom to bathroom * The room was also on the 4th floor (lowest level for that room type) with no real city/fireworks view. Cleanliness & Housekeeping * Room was not clean: * Quite a bit of dust in bathroom. * Crumbs on bed and sofa. * Saw a housekeeper sitting on the hallway floor using her phone (unprofessional behavior, worse than any budget hotel I've stayed at). Other issues: * Bad first impression: encountered a drunk guest of their event being rude at the entrance. Their staff member that was working the doorway apologized for her behavior. * Breakfast issue: paid for breakfast for two, but only got one voucher at check-in. This issue was fixed after asking, but it added to the overall sense of disorganization. Final Thoughts * I expected a top-notch experience for the premium price, but it did not deliver. It's sad to see a place that was once thriving and has lots of potential, start to go downhill (as is evident given a lot of the recent reviews). They need to do a lot of improving to reach the level they charge their customers.

    What a cute stay! The decor is beautiful in the living lobby and the room. I loved that the room had a Nespresso machine because I can't stand other places that charge $500/room and can't provide coffee. They also provided two free water bottles and two fortune cookies upon arrival. Fully stocked mini bar, snacks and fridge if you want to pay extra for those things. The bed was really comfy, even for my picky husband who hates every bed but our own. The only thing that was a little annoying is you can hear folks out in the hall. I do appreciate their attempt to thwart this however: when you get off the elevator there is a sign about being quiet and respectful. Also, there's a noise machine in the room! I have NEVER seen that in a hotel before and I thought it was genius. Additionally, we read in other reviews that the bar and upstairs bar were loud, so we asked at check in if we could be placed in a quiet area. She put us on the 6tu floor, right in the middle of both. Thanks for a lovely stay!

All of the staff at Ace were kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful with my questions.

The products in the bathroom were lovely, the bed/pillows were very comfortable. If I have the opportunity to stay in Brooklyn again, Ace will be at the top of my list for sure!

A rude woman who did little to correct her mistake. Now I'm wet. I went to the bar to ask if they'd replace the drink. The bartender immediately said "no go ask the manager." Well alrighty! I find the manager and he proceeds to re-explain the situation as "so you want us to buy you a drink? It's not our fault or responsibility." We're adults. I never placed blame. A peculiar thing to say considering I just bought the drink and I'm in your establishment. Felt pretty short tbh. Not sure why I was expecting a different tone. He eventually just offers me a shot. I don't particularly like shots so I kindly slid the remainder of the spilled drink and declined the shot, suggesting that Managment show the next customer a little more grace and respect in tone. Obviously an establishment isn't responsible for spilled drinks and don't have to be kind at all. I get that. But I guess that's what separates a great establishment from a mediocre one just selling drinks and not an experience. Good luck to them.

It was also perfectly located just a short walk from my Pilates studio, which made sticking to my routine while traveling super easy. On top of that, there were plenty of coffee shops and local restaurants nearby, so I never had to go far for a good bite or my morning coffee. Being a Hilton Honors member made check-in a breeze, and I was even gifted complimentary water upon arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room itself was clean, cozy, and perfect for a short stay. The view from my window was amazing especially at night and I loved how quiet it was, making it easy to fully relax after long days out. They also have great amenities like a gym and a breakfast buffet every morning. The waffle machines, fresh fruit, and coffee were definitely highlights and a great way to start each day. Mallory at the front desk was so sweet and made checkout just as smooth as check-in. I stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, and everything about this visit felt seamless. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in New York!

My main concern when looking for a hotel in NY/Brooklyn was having a microwave and fridge, and thankfully our room had both. I was also told you can request them if your room doesn't already have them. We stayed in a room with a window facing an extremely busy intersection, with honking going on all day and into the night, but thankfully, the windows were thick enough to block out most of the noise. The AC sound also helped drown it out. The room and restroom also felt spacious for what you get in NY. There was daily breakfast, which was your typical hotel breakfast with a variety of options that changed daily. It's about a one-mile walk to get to DUMBO, which wasn't bad at all, even when we had to do it in the rain. The subway is about a 10 minute walk, and there are two corner stores down the street. Honestly not a bad location! Just be careful when crossing that crazy busy intersection! I would stay here again!

Customer service from the front desk and staff THROUGHOUT the stay was abysmal and horrendous. Half the time you couldn't even find someone AT the front desk to help you out with anything, and when they were there, they literally would drag their feet or pretend to do something when they actually weren't! Anytime I requested or asked for something, I would be told it's 'done' and that I'm 'good to go', but inevitably I would find out that NOTHING had actually been done!! This led to me also receiving very rude interactions with the housekeeping managers, who would act like I was in the room without permission due to the lack of communication between any of the staff here regarding my check-out times and other such issues. As for the hotel itself, it clearly is not being properly maintained, and things are grimy, dented, and nasty throughout the rooms and halls. The door handle for my first room literally BROKE, and doors throughout the building all have half broken, drooping door handles...scuffs, marks, and broken bits EVERYWHERE. It shouldn't be that hard to maintain a relatively new hotel if there was an effort AT ALL put into it, but the staff/management here clearly DOES. NOT. CARE. AT ALL. OH - and watch out for scams here when it comes to charges they'll put on your card!! They created a second folio and had multiple duplicate charges for the SAME room and the SAME nights, and have refused to remove them!! I have disputed the charges on my card and filed complaints with Marriott regarding the shady, scam-like activities that the management at this hotel engages in. Needless to say, I will NEVER stay at the Aloft New York Brooklyn Hotel EVER again - and I highly recommend that all of you steer WELL clear of it as well.
