McCarren Hotel & Pool

I had a wonderful experience at Coda. I’m especially appreciative of Felix and Franco at the desk who went above and beyond to accommodate my needs upon arrival (thank you SO much), but all the staff I came across throughout my stay were very helpful. The only caveat for me was that the rooms aren’t very muffled which can be a huge con for light sleepers. Otherwise the hotel is clean, located in a central and bustling part of Williamsburg, and has exceptional service from staff.

I booked my room three weeks in advance, only to receive an email at 4:00 AM the morning of my stay saying I had 24 hours to update my credit card. Six hours later, I received another email from the interim GM claiming there was a “typo” and I actually only had until noon. I updated my payment at 11:20 AM—well within that window—only to receive a cancellation notice 15 minutes later. When I called to figure out what was going on, the interim GM told me my reservation was canceled because I “didn’t update my card.” When I explained that I absolutely did (and before the stated noon deadline), he backtracked and said he could reinstate the reservation—but that my original room type was no longer available. After pushing back (because that made zero sense), he abruptly put me on hold, then returned and suddenly “found” my original room type. That level of inconsistency and lack of accountability tells you everything you need to know. When I asked who he reports to, his answer was simply “ownership”—which says a lot. This feels like yet another case of private equity ownership prioritizing nothing but the bottom line, with zero regard for the guest experience. And unfortunately, the issues didn’t stop there. The room itself was subpar: weak water pressure, water that never got hot enough, a constant rattling noise throughout the night, and a visible stain on the couch. The cherry on top? A white noise machine that looked like it was literally duct-taped to the hallway wall. From start to finish, this was a disorganized, frustrating, and frankly unprofessional experience. There are far better options out there—do yourself a favor and book literally anywhere else.

Great location in the heart of everything you want to do in Williamsburg. Staff is warm & professional, Franco & Allison were anxious to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Beds & pillows are comfortable & the price is very competitive. Rooms are what you expect in NYC - small with no frills but quiet & comfortable. The restaurant Meili is convenient, a winter perk accessible from the lobby. Great dining options in every direction.

What a great find ! Always thought this was an apartment building ! Super friendly staff , very clean and spacious rooms … Stayed in every other hotel in Williamsburg ,but will stay at the Coda in future visits ! Didn’t take advantage of the restaurant , sadly no time , but heard only amazing things about it !

The Hotel is nice, clean. Staff is kind. The bed was way too low almost on the floor.. even for a platform it shouldn’t be so low and no mini fridge to store our beverages.
