They put me in an unacceptable room next to noisy machinery that droned on all night. Refused to refund for the room. I checked out 2 days early despite their refusal to give me a refund for paying in advance.

Initially, one of the front desk attendants tried to pretend he couldn't see me or didn't know I wanted something. He let me stand in front of him while he ignored me without any acknowledgment whatsoever. When a second attendant returned from helping other guest with bags, he helped me and was wonderful: friendly, helpful, efficient, and more.

⭐⭐ Review of Pod 39 – Manhattan My husband and I have stayed at Pod Hotels before and always knew what to expect—small, clean rooms, friendly staff, and a great location. For the first part of our stay, Pod 39 lived up to that. Unfortunately, our trip took a stressful turn when we returned to Room 1218 after a full day out and discovered bed bugs in our bed. I recorded a video immediately, and my husband contacted the front desk. Maintenance inspected the room and confirmed additional bed bugs under the sheets. We were moved to another room (which we insisted be inspected first), and the hotel provided a full refund—though we had to handle the refund ourselves through Expedia. We were also given a $40 café voucher, which only covered coffee and pastries and did little to offset the inconvenience. Because of this incident, we had to: • Shake out all of our luggage • Send all clothing and bags for professional cleaning, which took two days • Spend two full days in New York with no clothes or coats • Purchase about $200 of replacement clothing • Have our cleaned items FedEx’d back to Michigan Given that these expenses were a direct result of the hotel’s bed bug issue, we feel we should be reimbursed for the clothing we had to purchase. Aside from this, the staff were friendly, the second room was clean, and the location is excellent. But the bed bug situation—and the lack of more substantial accommodation—significantly overshadowed what could have been a great stay.
