The hotel was very clean and the staff were nice. And my room had a nice view

Staff were very friendly and helpful we will go back to at the POD ..

Nice efficient use of space. No complaints. Rooms were clean and I will mostly likely stay again.

Nice Hotel....the bed seem like a full size and not queen but it was a nice hotel

The location is wonderful. The views were fantastic ... not the brick wall often found in the city. The room was filled with sunlight. It has great shades that completely block the light. The room was not noisy which is surprising considering the location. I have stayed at both Pod 39 and 51 for years now. The rooms in all 3 are very similar. The Times Sq Pod appeared to be clean but I was not happy about a few items. When I checked in there were green globs on the ledge in the bathroom as well as in the sink. I am assuming they were toothpaste. After the maid cleaned my room on day 2 they were still there. The rug had not been vacuumed. The toilet was dirty. It looks like all she did was make the bed and change the towels. I didn’t let her in for the rest of the stay. I cleaned the bathroom myself. I realize this isn’t an expensive hotel but I think these are basic expectations. One thing that can be a plus or minus is that there is a motion sensor light in the bathroom. I didn’t care for it. I don’t want the light on if I get up in the middle of the night. Even worse it went on/off all night by itself. It woke me up all night. The bathroom is frosted glass so there’s no closing it off. They did send up maintenance who disabled it. There should be an on/off switch for it in the unit. The rest of the nights I slept peacefully on the comfy bed. If it wasn’t for the outstanding location I would have rated this hotel much lower.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again

Great location, cute and clean pod rooms with efficient use of space! I also love the Polynesian Lounge!

Easy access and great location. Modern and sleek look.

Good location, modern rooms, a bit impersonal, not comfortable beds.
