The william vale is a wonderful hotel, but it's starting to show it's age. We've stayed here a handful of times across the last few years and love it dearly. However this stay it's clear that the condition of the hotel is degrading. Nearly every single piece of furniture in our room showed significant damage (closet, sofa, fridge.) Multiple automated blinds were broken. Our flooring had multiple chunks missing. The vanity looked like a dog had chewed on it. The bath drain was leaky. The Tv's randomly stopped streaming with no real cause. Our balcony lights did not work and could not be fixed. Engineering was sent up and resolved the blinds and a broken light fixture, but couldn't solve any of the other issues. For a hotel of this stature and price, walking into a balcony suite, which by their standards is an upgraded room, to these host of problems, is simply not the experience I would hope for, and certainly not what I expected. Getting charged $45 a night for a resort fee and never once having the daily bottles of water replenished, which used to be TWV branded but are now poland spring, just feels excessive. It's almost like the hotel started believing their own hype. All that said, the staff were superb top to bottom and the views are unmatched. It's a really nice place, genuinely, but just not what it should be for the price and constantly reminding you they are the only Forbes rated hotel in brooklyn.
