  Whoever agreed to organize the “friends in high places” event on May 15th has terrible organization skills. Complete rip off- the venue was tiny, over sold tickets for the occupancy size, the line was over an hour. Absolutely zero space to move, terrible bar tending skills, possibly the worst cocktail I have ever had for 22 dollars, half a cup of alcohol that was completely un drinkable. I will never come back here again for any event.

  For a price point exceeding $400 a night (on a Sunday), we expected a premium and luxury experience, but we were instead subjected to an incredibly loud and stressful rooftop bar located directly across the street called Superior Ingredients (multilevel nightlife venue). The noise level was comparable to a live concert. I called the front desk and they let me know that the bar would have quiet hours at 10 pm. (?!?!) Meanwhile we have an early morning flight to catch. When we checked in at 4 pm it was already exceptionally loud. This stay was meant to be a special one-night treat from my brother after a long, exhausting trip before our flight home to CA. Knowing the steep cost he incurred, we deeply regretted the splurge on his behalf. It is highly disappointing that a hotel in this price bracket fails to provide the basic necessity of a restful environment. The William Vale should seriously consider reducing their rates to reflect the enormous, disruptive inconvenience this venue poses to paying guests. Yes, we were moved to the other side of building after I called the front desk that had much less noise but our stay was interrupted and not relaxing. I think paying customers deserve more which is why I’m leaving this review for others to take note or do better research.

  I had a staycation for my first Mother’s Day which was clearly communicated to the front desk. They put me on a floor right below the rooftop restaurant and it was extraordinarily loud. I called the front desk multiple times to see when the music would end with some people saying 10 PM and some saying 11 PM, mind you it is a Sunday night. I really never write reviews but I’m perplexed by why they would put my room right below a nightclub when I said I was coming to catch up on sleep. Very disappointed. And yes I had a sound machine and earplugs in. Room service was good, I’d say a little pricey for what it was. When I called about gelato flavors I got very inconsistent answers. Room itself was nice, the towels were old.

  I recently stayed here for my first time for 2 nights for my birthday. I love williamsburg, and i'm usually a regular at the arlo and wanted to try the vale. I want to say everything went well until the end. When I received an email of my bill, I noticed that I was overcharged a $100 for a meal at little fino that I did not have. But somehow someone was able to charge a meal to my room, and I have yet to be able to speak to someone to get that rectified. It just boggles my mind. How easy it is for someone to well, take advantage of somebody else's stay. You should be checking for I d's on the people's reservation make sure it matches. And when we check out, give us the receipt at that time. I handed them the keys and just went on my way.Not thinking that I would be overcharged until I got the email and then didn't look at it until now. Couldn't get a person on the phone to help.

  I had a great stay at The William Vale in Brooklyn. The room was beautiful and the balcony views of the city were honestly a highlight. All three restaurants were fantastic with great food and drinks, and the service was consistently good across the board. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful, which made the whole experience even better. It was also such a nice change staying outside of Manhattan while still having easy access to everything. The overall vibe of the hotel just felt right from start to finish. I would definitely stay here again.
