So, the name pod hotel should give it away, but nothing quite prepared me for this experience. This is what living in a spaceship must feel like, minus the zero gravity. We had a lot of fun shoehorning ourselves into our very tiny room. It was comfortable and met our needs for the night, but this would not be a good choice for anybody with mobility issues, claustrophobia, or anyone who likes their personal space. I travel with a wheelchair and we could barely maneuver it around the corners even though it was folded up. Squeezing my chair into the room was like playing Tetris. We literally had to climb over each other to do anything, and there’s nothing quite like using the bathroom inches away from your partner to strengthen that bond. The whole bathroom/shower area was highly entertaining. To slide closed the bathroom door means that the clear glass window into the standing shower area is revealed so if you ever wanted to reenact the whole naked dancer in the window thing, this place has you covered. Or uncovered, really. The restaurant options on this block are incredible, and this whole pod hotel really was a fun experience. I would definitely come back. It’s not like you go to New York to spend your day in the hotel room anyway.

I like the rain shower that was a plus! the rooms though are very petite... but it was me myself and I so it was fine. the area is very fancy lots of posh townhouses with lots of well-to-do folks. 51 and Lexington Ave very nice area and nice-looking people business folks. there wasn't anything I did not like. I would stay there again and again!
