Recent guest reviews

The staff was always super friendly and helpful. Perfect location for what we needed. We got a free upgrade in order to check in early instead of having to wait, which was nice. Only complaint is that the queen mattress was a bit thin/hard and not very comfortable and that the AC unit was super loud all the time. Otherwise this was a perfect stay.

This place is centrally located, and it is good if you like to walk and enjoy the city.

Great rooftop bar. Clean rooms. Would stay again

Near Grand Central Station. Our room was upgraded to a larger room with a view. Much appreciated. Not everyone is a fan of the modern open style ensuite, I am.

They did the "basics" for a hotel room quite well with impressive efficiency. I wanted for nothing save more space, really, and that is the point of the pod, limited space that isn't really used. They have a car service to LGA and no doubt, JFK, that is a little less impersonal than a taxi and at a competitive price. You can book it in advance. Maid service very good and done every day. Not like: They could hire more staff to keep common spaces a bit more tidy and clean, e.g., wiping tables and picking up something here and there a guest has dropped.

Great location and clean room

As usual, great stay with great price.

Lobby is welcoming and also safe, room was clean and quiet, so staying at the pod 39 assisted me in having a positive experience with the physical therapy I needed after surgery.

The location is perfect and it’s a great value.

Very small rooms, but clean and safe, good location, and good shower and climate control in room

good location, basic facilities

Always clean and very convenient to everything Midtown East

The area is quieter as it’s more residential. The toiletries are good. The hotel is clean. I was able to check in early. The staff were all very nice.

Basic place to sleep for a few nights. Storage is minimal. Could have used more hangers. Coffee not till 8 so not for early risers.
