The room was compact but had all that I needed, including enough good towels. The bed was a little too hard for me. Otherwise, great. Oh, the heat was very loud so I had to turn it off to sleep.
It was a bit noisy, the room was freezing but safe, nice staff, great location and perfect price
When they say pod, they mean pod. The “room” felt and looked like an upscale jail cell. I was stunned to realize that I apparently booked a room with no bathroom—who shares a public bathroom during a pandemic?!? The front desk staff changed me to a room with a private bath—for a fee, of course, which negated my lower price for this room. In other words, I should have just paid more in the first place for a typical hotel room and avoided the trauma. That’d be my advice to weary travelers.
Pros: quiet area, not far from the subway, great price for NYC, well kept property with modern decor. Cons: bed and pillow were not very comfortable, thermostat control wasn't good (room didn't get as warm as I was hoping for), not near any attractions. Know before you book: the single pod doesn't have a ton of space but is a good deal for a solo traveler who is ok with forgoing a few amenities for a cheaper price. The bathroom is shared, but the toilet/shower room is a separate private room so you aren't showering with a bunch of other people around. I would describe this as somewhere between a hostel and a hotel.
The rooms are tiny, but perfect for vacations. Very Clean and comfortable. 2 blocks from subway station, 1 block from police department (so the area is safe). A lot of dining options and the best thing is the location, about 10 15mins walking from times square. Staff very friendly. 10 / 10
The Pod was lovely. I liked the area and that I felt like a resident of the city. Thank you, Barbara Delia
This is basic, but super clean. I had never stayed at these because I thought they (Pod hotels) were more of a hostel situation...if you are getting a private bath, it's a solid place to stay for any age. Nothing fancy here, but in a pinch this is a solid choice for accommodation.
Unfriendly Staff
I liked the insistence on masks and distancing. I also liked that my room was not cleaned during my stay. And the front desk staff were so friendly.
Pleasant hotel. Serves its purpose.
Value for price paid, great location close to everything. Good public transportation
The set up. The room have a very. Low. Their no badroom inside the room. If you need to use the bathroom you may have to way until is clear or emty . i will never go there again.
we enjoyed the roof deck. The rooms are small but comfortable and clean. The hallway, however, always smelled of smoke a pot. The staff was friendly and approachable with concerns.
