We stayed in the Queen Sized private bedroom. Yes it was small but it was large enough for our needs. It was also priced significantly better than anything else we could find in Mid-Town Manhattan. The hotel is within walking distance of Grand Central Station (Terminal) and other subway/bus routes. The staff was friendly and courteous, cleaned our room everyday and always gave good advise for nearby restaurants and directions to where we needed to go. For the price Pod51, worked out great for us.
