1.5/5 Very dirty hotel. Dust in my room. Room looked better the second day vs my arrival check in. Could tell somebody actually sweep d and tidy up. Ceilings low (I am 5’11). Mold in the shower. Toilet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. Spider webs in the window. Had a strange smell to the room. Floor was dirty. Sink had drainage issue , water piling up in sink. Not good lighting. The tv channels kept playing re runs every hour. Very very very small room. Very tight shower couldn’t even lifts up my arms without hitting the shower walls. Had to ask everyday for new towels and wash clothes. Sometimes would bring either towel no washcloth or washcloth and no towel. Weird smell in the hotel and room. Staff was cool but I shouldn’t have to ask for towels everyday and to clean my room. Yeah definitely get what u pay for: I’m never staying here again. Not sure why Expedia has this listed as such high stars. The building rating outside is B 76 but honestly should be C or D. Not up to code or standards. No fridge no microwave no nothing.Save your money.

Good - what we expected

Pod 51 was what we expected it to be when we booked it. The rooms were small but that is what we payed for. The rooms and the shower were clean. It was quiet and the beds were quite comfortable. It was a bit pricey for the room but overall a good stay.
