McCarren Hotel & Pool

Had a wonderful overnight stay at the McCarren; rooftop bar was great and not at all crowded. There was a music festival going on in the park across the street, which made the afternoon pretty noisy. Staff was extremely pleasant.

Before I began this review it should be noted that this review is for the rooftop area only. I have not the opportunity to stay at this hotel yet, but when I do I will make sure to update this review. An associate of a friend invited me and my friend to a party that was taking place at the McCarren on Saturday, June 3rd. We were looking forward to attending this event as it had been a while since we both had attended a rooftop party at the McCarren. We arrived relatively early as we had another engagement, so we wanted to get in as much time as possible. When we arrived it was only one bartender on hand, and four patrons at the bar. Now stop and think about what I just typed, one bartender and four patrons, not one bartender and twenty patrons, but one bartender and four patrons. So my friend and I gloss over the menu and decided on what we would order, two drinks and some guacamole and chips. I expected to receive the order in about 25 minutes or less however that was not the case. It was almost an hour before we received our drinks, needless to say, we were kind of over our whole experience at this point because the bartender was severely behind and the bar had become more packed. HOWEVER, this is where the lovely Winter came in to save us on a pretty summer day. Winter was so attentive and reassuring and very apologetic for the lack of service that was going on, she came and took our food and drink orders again and assured us that our drinks and food would be out shortly. She was very apologetic about the whole ordeal, she was so professional throughout the whole ordeal. There were some people who were visibly upset, yet Winter kept her composure and tried her absolute best to tend to everyone's needs. She was checking in with people offering them whatever she could. All in all, she was pretty amazing, as I was leaving I found it out that it was her first day upstairs. And honestly, I would not have believed it until someone told me because she acted like such a veteran. So once again Winter, Thank you so much for your hard work and patience. With your attitude and smile, I know that you will go far in life. So if you ever visit the McCarren make sure to ask for WINTER!!

This trendy hotel is in a prime location of Williamsburg. All the hot spots are in a quick easy walking distance. It is always my go to hotel, you cant go wrong. Consistent, clean, comfortable and friendly. The pool is such a bonus in the summer!

It was not a good experience we were not notified about the pool being closed on Sunday 6/11 and we had to change the reservation. Upon arriving we were not given our room until 6pm after my husband came out of character demanding a room due to me being pregnant. We asked if we could check our late due to this and it was an issue. The room ac did not work probably and I was sweating the entire night. 5 months pregnant made this an uncomfortable stay.

the staff and accommodations were outstanding, the room was was beautiful, they made our stay as comfortable as possible and were in constant contact with us right up until our wedding day. Our front desk contact, Martin, was so nice and so helpful, we're already talking about going back for our 1 year anniversary. Thank you guys so much!
