I booked a single pod "room with view" through Orbitz. After paying for that room and arriving at the hotel I was told that the hotel has no view rooms because it is in the middle of the block. The front desk clerk was unable to help. Beware of booking this hotel through an online site, they may promise one thing but when you arrive you get something totally different than what you were promised and had paid for. I filed a compliant with Orbitz and they did nothing. I would stay elsewhere next time and book through another company next time.
It was easy to get around the city from this location. The hotel itself was a bit loud.
I do recommend this hotel because the location is good. Even if the room is very tiny, it's New York City and fine to stay to sleep. The women staffs are not kind and friendly. They were very rude and unfriendly. I ended up asking for men staffs who were better than women staffs and nice. The hotel lobby is always crowded with people waiting for the restaurant, which located at the first floor and rooftop lounge.
We found live bugs in our bed. This place is disgusting and filthy. In addition to the live bugs in our bed there was hair and filth built up on the mattress cover, stains on all the sheets and bedding. Do not stay here or you will end up taking bites on your body and bugs home with you.
The room was so small I could barely lay down my luggage let alone share the room with another person.
Very conveniently located near Grand Central. I love the rooftop bar. Young crowd makes it more fun. Love the restaurant!
The hotel is close to food, transportation and Grand Central Station. Its in a quiet neighborhood, and I loved the location. There were several restaurants, coffee shops, bodegas and nail salons within a block or two. I was able to bring my small dog with me on this trip and not pay a high fee. The room had the basics I needed. The hanging rack worked for me instead of a closet. The drawer under the bed was all I needed instead of a dresser. The hairdryer, shower toiletries and safe were perks. I was looking for a very basic inexpensive place to stay and this hotel was perfect. I will be back again.
Small but comfortable, clean rooms. Second time staying. Most of the staff could us customer service skills. Encountered one staff member, red head who had working with people down...everyone else...not so much.
I love Pod 39. Very clean, friendly, and good location for me. The restaurant is also great!
Love the place, people! Tiny rooms but tricked out, clean and modern.... who stays in the room in NYC?
The Pod was easy to find, a short walk from Grand Central Terminal. I was able to check in easily and have a restful night before a conference the next day. I would totally use this property again and recommend it to others.
Micro Hotels are the now wave. Give you just what you need at high quality for low cost.
Check in took a tad too long mostly because of guests who just want to hear themselves talk. However I was upgraded to a beautiful room and enjoyed the rest of my stay.
Small room but good location to everything. The shower is pretty small and there's not a lot of room to walk around. But there is Salvation Taco downstairs which helped because they have happy hour!
I love staying here. The room is small but clean. The location is great. It's in the quieter Murray Hill neighborhood, away from the craziness of Times Square. It's a pleasant walk (about 15 min) to Times Square. It's close to the buses and subway to go uptown to the museums. The staff is very helpful here. They are also pleasant. If you want plush & spacious this is not the hotel for you. Who comes to NY to stay in their room, anyway?
Overall, it was a short and pleasant trip. The location of Pod 39 made my plans easier to follow.
It was a great spot in a great location. I'd recommend for anyone wanting to be close to Grand Central Station
Amazed that small single room worked so well. Great for light luggage tourists. Pleasant public spaces and location. Nice rooftop area.
Reasonable price and good access to transportation and international cuisines. A little noisy at times. Very loud at hallway. Great WiFi connection and good tv programming. Very friendly, courteous and helpful front desk and service personnel. Nice old look of the building but modern amenities.
