We did the afternoon pool pass at the William Vale and knew from the site that we wouldn't be poolside and that there would be shade. We were a little disappointed to find out that we were seated behind the building on a deck with all the chairs facing the wall. This would have been ok if we could spend the majority of the time in the pool, but it was at capacity so we had to wait a few hours until the hotel guests left to swim. They also closed the bar early without warning.

Unfortunately when booking a day pass and not staying at the hotel, you get a sun chair in the back of the hotel looking into a big building being renovated / built (building cite) and on other side just a tall wall) no efforts has been made to make it nice & luxury. Pool is small and super crowded. Not worth it at all unfortunately

Life is beautiful! Amazing pool, staff and atmosphere! Relaxed vibe, and not overcrowded ! I can’t wait to Go back

The pool itself is really beautiful, but beware, while booking a guest pass here you will be seated on a terrace far from the pool. There were a fair number of children in the pool when we visited, but the overall experience was pretty nice.

After calling around to multiple hotels, the William Vale was one of the few with an open pool. And it was worth every penny to go swimming when the temperature climbed up to 95 with about 1000% humidity. The staff were all friendly, accommodating and efficient. The entire experience is clearly and carefully designed to respect social distancing boundaries while not making you constantly judge and question whether you're too close or someone is encroaching on your personal space. As an introvert, his is how I would love for pools to operate all the time: assigned deck chairs that aren't on top of each other and limited bodies in the pool at one time. Thank you for a much-needed afternoon escape.

I live in Brooklyn and had a friend visiting my out of town. The summer heat made us seek out cool waters. The staff at the pool was great. The view from the rooftop bar was great. Wish they had more food options. Was more of a snack than a meal .

Not what i expected! Been to many pools in the area and they are so fun. The vibe was off and it was boring

I’ve stayed at the Williamvale prior to the daycation and the staff is exceptional. The only feedback I have for the hotel is to reinforce the rule of no personal speakers. I’m not sure why pool guests feel everyone wants or needs to listen to the music they want to hear.

Beautiful pool area, clean restrooms& fresh towels. The price point of a $100 is a bit pricey when you are sitting in the back of the building away from the pool area or even a view ,There is no restaurant to purchase for food or place to even get a bottle of water .With a higher price point compared to other hotel guest passes that are less expensive & do offer chairs next to pool food and drink services available I would not repurchase again

I really enjoy the afternoon at the William Vale pool. Everything was according to Covid protocol so I felt safe.
