    As an old social club, the building is beautiful, and it's amazing to have a speakeasy with multiple rooms downstairs. Very friendly workers who will get you whatever you need. The room was comfy with lots of light.

    The William is my go to hotel in NYC. Very chic. Great location. Great staff. The washer/dryers on the third floor are a real plus, particularly when I stay there for more than one or two nights.

    the room was very clean and free from the city noise. Water and coffee machine in the room made my stay better. Staffs were very nice and did their best to give us the best experience. Luggage service was convenient too.

    Well appointed rooms, and a good size for NYC. Very central location, with easy access to subways. Very clean. Boutique and stylish, but without the attitude that usually comes with "boutique" and "stylish" places!
