My friend and I were looking for a hotel near theater district that was under $400@night, for our May dates, all fees included. This Pod fit that, plus near theater, easy and good restaurant choices, safe, accessible to public transportation. Our rooms were clean, well appointed, bright, and I did not see one insect (which has been the case for Pods at other locations in the city). Rooms are of course small but that's part of the "deal" re price. Would go back for sure.

The room with the bunk bed was kinda like a tiny cruise ship room but with a real bathroom! Lol It did smell a bit like stale clothes when we walked in but the window opened so we aired it out some. Everything we really needed with nice staff.

The location was good, the room extra small it was difficult to have our luggage open and walk in the room, the restroom in our room was NOT private, I wish the door would fully close and I wish it did not have frosted glass. I also wish they had and Ice machine or mini fridge

Everything you need when sightseeing in NYC

Prime location for all those that want to be close to all Manhattan attractions with good links to subway, busses, hop on hop off busses etc. We were warmly greeted at the check out. Rooms are cleaned daily. Modern, quiet and comfy for Manhattan standards with all necessary amenities. A lot of dinning options around. It was my son's birthday present and we were upgraded to room with a great view. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone that wants to focus on visiting Manhattan.

Big Apple Tourist Place to Stay

If you just need a place to rest your feet and sleep, then this place is for you. Our room had a twin over twin bunkbed with plenty of charging ports, reading lights, and a bluetooth-capable TV for each bunk. Rain-drop shower with separated sprayer, shampoo etc included. It was all we needed for our trip to the Big Apple near Times Square.
