Coda's top pro is its location - we enjoyed a week exploring the best of Williamsburg and it is surrounded by brilliant bars, restaurants, cafes and green spaces. It is also close to the subway, so accessing other parts of the city was easy. We took trains into Manhattan and up into Queens too.
On the first few days, service was excellent and welcoming. However, on our last few days we found it to be really disappointing. Reception staff suddenly made us feel like we were hassling them simply for asking simple questions.
The king room with a balcony was brilliant and perfectly suited us for an extended stay. The size was fine for NY and the balcony had a great view overlooking the park, which we loved for people watching. Minor points for the room would be that more hangers in the wardrobe would be good, as would a bin other than the small one in the bathroom. Also when we arrived we had only been given one towel!
The bar in the hotel is nice and not massively overpriced when compared to similar locations in the area. We also appreciated the small shop downstairs, free coffee and free water.
Ultimately despite the disappointing elements of the service, we really enjoyed staying at Coda because of its brilliant location. Thanks especially to Toni for her help during our stay.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms are great and the location is perfect, 5 min walk from the L and G trains making access to Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens very quick and easy. The adjacent area of Brooklyn has lots of great bars, shops and restaurants to choose from and is really buzzing.
My only complaints would be that on Friday and Saturday night the hotel has a nightclub on the 8th floor which kept us awake in our 5th floor room with the noise of the music and the crowds waiting in line to get in downstairs. Also one of the reasons I chose the hotel was the pool, but when we arrived we discovered that it wasn't open until May, which wasn't clear when I booked (although I booked via Booking.com so that may not be the fault of the hotel).
Overall I would definitely stay here again, but would ask for a room on a lower floor at the rear of the building if I was there over a Friday or Saturday

Booked a room at the CODA hotel for a weekend getaway with my husband. When we got there we were greeted by Alberto & Toni and they both made the check in process a breeze. They were very helpful letting us know what was around Williamsburg since we wanted to explore and walk around. Our room was very nice & clean. It had a modern style design & a great view from the balcony. We planned on getting some dinner & Toni recommended to try the hotel restaurant Bohemia, that serves Indonesian food. She gave us a few food and drink recommendations. We started off with some cocktails & I had the tequila drink “when in Indonesia”, we also tried Wagyu empanadas. Then we ordered the steak & Wagyu burger which was amazing! In the morning they served coffee & some pastries for their guests. This is a great hotel for its location and more importantly because they have staff like Alberto & Toni who provide personalized service.

Attention Senior Citizens: This is not the place for you if you are visiting young grandchildren in NY.
Our experience at this lovely updated hotel located right across the street from the McCarren Park in Brooklyn, NY, was different from other hotels we’ve stayed in. We called the desk to get details about the advertised pool. We were told it was outdoor, heated, and open thru September. We booked mainly for use of the pool for our eight-year-old grandchild to join us whom we were visiting. When we checked in, we were given the times the pool is open & times coffee with milk and almond milk is served in the lobby. When we mentioned having our grandchild join us in the pool, we were told the pool is for adults only!! There was nothing online in the description or mentioned on the phone of that restriction. We paid $60 more a day for our reservation just because of having a pool. The first morning there was no almond milk for the coffee. We were told they ran out. The second morning there was NO coffee. We were told the coffee maker broke. I went up to the restaurant on the 7th floor to get two cups. It was closed. The third morning there was no milk for the coffee. All these times were around 8:00 a.m. When the two of us checked into our room, there were no face cloths & only 2 bath towels, an iron w/no ironing board, no hair dryer or in-room coffee maker or fridge. We never used the restaurant or bar, so I have no comment about the cuisine or drinks. When checking out, we were given the final bill, which included a $50/day resort fee. We said we wanted it taken off our bill since we did not use the pool, restaurant or bar. We were told, “That includes coffee,” and refused to take it off our bill! So, folks, we paid $150 for four cups of coffee!!!!! Posted for a friend

Our second stay at the rebranded Coda Williamsburg, we’d previously stayed here under its previous guise also. Location was fantastic for us and Williamsburg/Greenpoint in general. We first used this location as it was close to an event we were visiting and after our enjoyable first visit in 2019 we returned in 2022 and 2023.
Our 2022 visit started poorly as upon arrival we we stung with a resort fee per night that enabled us “free” use of the pool, gym, coffee machine and Wi-Fi…..we explained we had no interest in the pool or gym and for the few thousand dollars we were spending we’d expect the Wi-Fi and cheap coffee would be included. No manager was available to field our complaint, 2 hours later still no manager until the guy stood next to the girl we were speaking to introduced himself as the manager…..bizarre. To be fair they did let us off the resort fees (over £300) as we showed it was not mentioned when we booked and had been introduced post booking with the Coda rebrand. After that we really enjoyed our time there, so much so we rebooked for 2023 knowing we’d have to pay the extra fees.
2023 arrives and so do we at the Coda, we specifically booked a room with a balcony as relaxing listening to the Williamsburg night was part of the attraction, on arrival however they were unable to give us the room we’d booked and paid extra for. For the inconvenience they offered use free use of their loungers by the pool which they explained cost more than the difference in room per night. Having little choice we headed to our new room pretty miserable about the whole thing.
Not happy we brought it up with reception again, who magically found us the room we’d booked and if we stayed 1 night in the other room they’d swap us the following day…….and they did, which was great. If they’d offered us this upon check in we would have been fine about it, however I’m guessing the following day some other guest would be told they weren’t getting the room they’d booked!
We enjoyed the rest of our stay. However upon talking to another guest, he said he’d not received the room he’d paid a premium for either and that he was also offered loungers he had no interest in in lieu of a refund.
It’d appear this is a tactic, overbook premium rooms then compensate with lounger passes which cost the hotel zero rather than refund the difference.
So mixed reviews, if they handled guests better I’d have zero complaints (well once we found out they’d bring a fridge to the room), however after being burned a couple of times now and hearing of others also we’ll probably stay elsewhere next time.

We were looking forward to staying at this hotel. Unfortunately that will never happen.
All flights into LGA were grounded at their destinations on 9/9/23. This made the National morning news on 9/10/23.
I called the hotel repeatedly for an hour trying to speak to someone on Saturday 9/9/23 when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled for the next morning. I wanted to keep my room so it would be ready for me when I arrived at 10 am on the new flight.
Getting through to anyone at the front desk was infuriation. A constant loop of pressing 0 for the front desk only for the phone to ring and ring and go back to the prerecorded selection to press 0 for the front desk.
After doing this for 35 minutes a gentlemen picked up the call. I gave him my name and number. He looked up my reservation with my Confirmation number. I told him that my flight was canceled and I needed my room. Check me in. I had already prepaid the full charge of $1240 for 3 nights. He told me I was in good shape and my room was held for me.
I also talked with John at reservations who was helpful but could not help me with check in and the delay.
I also sent two emails and the front desk manager, James, assured me that the staff looks at emails in a timely manner but whomever was working the desk on Saturday night dropped the ball.
When we arrived to the hotel in a torrential downpour the reservation had been canceled as a no show despite the emails and phone calls. James at the front desk did help to refund the full charge, but had no room available for me for my bushiness stay, nor di
anyone at the desk seem to be too arsed about the fact that their telephone and e-mail customer service is nonexistent.
Despite providing the emails sent the night before at 6 pm and 8 pm, and the phone call with the front desk, the staff was nonplussed because I didn’t apparently have the NSA level of documentation to show with whom I spoke or that my email was received.
They left two guests stranded with no hotel, didn’t refund the no show however, until I showed up and raised cane. Didn’t even offer to look at a sister property for us. Nah, they screwed up and instead of working with us they wanted us GONE. No explanation other than someone on the night shift marked it a no show and cancelled it (they kept asking me who was working at the front desk last night - Sir, I’m a guest, I don’t work here and don’t have access to your employee schedule)
Boo CODA. Your lack of any pleasant or accommodating front desk service from Millennials is proven in the lack of communication we and desire to service guests. I guess no one wants to work too hard. Too bad for $500 a night
James did refund the charge and we went to The Henry Norman Hotel and the difference in the friendliness and welcoming atmosphere was palpable.

A great staycation with my friend— particularly loved hanging out and relaxing poolside. Agusto was very attentive to us, making sure we had everything we needed.. food, drinks & towels before we could even ask for them. We will be back soon before it gets chilly out!

Visiting friends in Williamsburg I choose Coda over the Hoxton for the additional space in a Luxe King (170 sq ft at the Hoxton vs 295 at Coda).
I'll start with all the staff were great, any issues with the hotel are not their doing.
The hotel is not a four star, and is essentially a seasonal place that centers around the pool. The lobby is unimpressive and there is no security to allow only those with key cards up to the rooms. The rooftop bar was not open. The restaurant was only open for breakfast and over the weekend. We received vouchers for breakfast and, again, service was good but the restaurant is disorganized and the food was bad (even for free). We had other vouchers that we didn't use.
The room was clean and spacious but all Luxe Kings face the courtyard, which is full of tarps and isn't a nice view off season. There was only a blackout curtain (no sheer privacy curtain) so you have to choose between no privacy or no natural light. The room was sparsely furnished; no robes, slippers, mini bar, or luggage rack. We asked the front desk for a luggage rack and they brought one up. The bathroom floods if you have the shower at full blast.
The bed was comfortable and the I enjoyed the scent of the bath products. Housekeeping was provided and was good.
All in all, this hotel is lacking amenities expected from a four star hotel. We had a good nights sleep, the staff was friendly, and the location was excellent. Just don't expect a luxurious hotel stay!

I brought my girlfriend to Coda for Valentine's Day and we were blown away. Jessica at the front desk was very sweet and upgraded us from a Queen to a King for a fee. The room was perfect, we told them it was our first Valentine's Day, and they gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate. Toni gave us a few great recommendations and some breakfast vouchers that were discounted for guests and included juice and an entree. We decided to do room service for breakfast and got the lemon pancakes and coda breakfast, it was the best breakfast I ever had at a hotel. Very delicious, lots of hot options, not just cereal. Will definitely go back in the summer for the pool!

We stayed for 3 nights, booked this hotel because we were visiting our son who lives in Williamsburg. I'll start by saying that the front office personnel was quite nice and tried to be helpful for the most part. The room was quite small even having a small balcony viewing the park, that we paid at $450 per night. No amenities in the room like coffe maker, water heater nor minifridge. Small closet with 6 hangers. No hand towels when we arrived, only face towels beside the bath towels. On the second day the two bath towels had been replaced, no hand or face towels though. We asked for small towels and were told that there were in the laundry, and to give them one hour. The towels never came. On the third day we returned to the hotel at 10 pm and found the room hadn't been serviced. We went to the front desk to ask al least for some towels (since we were lacking some from the previous day already), which we luckily got a few minutes later. I do not believe the value for money makes sense to consider coming back, in terms of service but mostly for the lackluster amenities and facilities.
