Good but never again!

Check-in was quick and easy, and the front desk staff was absolutely AMAZING incredibly helpful and kind throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the room itself left much to be desired. While it was clean, it was not well-maintained. The shower had visible mold, the showerhead leaked and sprayed in multiple directions, and the sink also had a slow leak. The bathroom setup was awkward and lacked privacy. The entire bathroom wall was glass with only the middle portion frosted, and the sliding bathroom door was made of the same frosted glass offering virtually no privacy at all. The bed was okay but very firm not particularly comfortable. The hallway outside the room had a strong, unpleasant odor, and during a night of heavy rain, we noticed a large leak in the hallway, which was concerning and clearly not a new issue. Housekeeping was the most frustrating part of the stay. Despite telling the maid multiple times that we wouldn’t be leaving until later in the afternoon, she knocked on our door every 30 minutes starting at 9:00 a.m. every single morning. She was so persistent that we gave up and left the room by 10:30 a.m. each day, just to avoid the constant interruptions. Overall, the hotel was fine for the price and location, and again the front desk staff was truly exceptional. But due to the poor room maintenance, bathroom design, hallway leak, and relentless housekeeping, we would likely stay elsewhere if visiting this area again.

OK if you’re only there to sleep

The area was nice, conveniently located. Lots of transportation and food options. The room was very ok. Super small but it got the job done. It was very frustrating to see that the bathroom only had like 2 inches of shelf and no hanging options. There was also no privacy at all between the bathroom and the room since the door was transparent.

We will stay there again!

We had a great time staying at Pod 39. We loved the industrial chic flavor of the place, with the red, black and chrome accents. The bathroom was updated with new fixtures and stylish glass. The room wasn't large, but it was just big enough and fun and clean. The location was great for us; a quick walk to Grand Central and we had easy subway access to everything. The immediate neighborhood around Pod 39 had a deli, pizza, a bagel shop, dry cleaners, a spa and several restaurants.

PODS are always clean, safe places to spend the night and this one had a nice roof top area. The room and bathroom are tiny but have a surprising amount of space to store luggage and clothes. If you feel cramped, the lobby and lounge are very comfortable and inviting. On the downside, the floor of my room was warped, mini safe door kept hitting the entry door, and the air conditioning fan blew cold air on to the bed all night. I had to turn if off completely.

The location of the hotel is perfect for moving around the city. As expected, the room was very small, but that's ok. I wish there were more hangers for accommodating stuff, and a mini fridge. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the AC perfect for the hot summer. What I didn't like about there room was how little privacy the bathroom has, since the door is a clear sliding door just next to the bed. Also, there is no extractor in the bathroom and the room gets humid after taking showers. The rooftop has a pretty view, but the drinks are poorly made and very very expensive for how low quality they are.
