Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg

The action starts in the lobby, where the bar pours free drip coffee each morning and the staff are consistently kind. Rooms are compact but cleverly designed with hidden spaces for stowing gear, though the shower and bathroom feel like telephone booths. Upstairs, LilliStar brings the party as a rooftop venue, and a Mediterranean restaurant and nightclub round out the food-and-beverage lineup. Regulars return for the atmosphere, and the easygoing bar makes a convenient stop even if you're not staying overnight.
