It was a teenie tiny room with dorm style shared bathrooms, but hey, it was cheaper than a regular hotel by $100 a night so I'll take it. You get what you pay for, and for this price, it's definitely worth it. The location is awesome and super convenient and located near a bunch of train lines. If crash space is all you need, then this is perfect.

Clean

Our room was very clean. Staff were very helpful. We missed having a kettle or coffee pot in the room but realize that this minor inconvenience helps keep the price very reasonable for NYC.

My favorite place to stay when I visit NYC!! Staff is very nice and helpful. The rooftop view is AMAZING. Checking in and checking out is a breeze. So many places close by to go eat or visit. Make sure you visit the bodega 5 min from Pod. They are open 24 hrs and have so much to offer! The make fresh juices. Delicious
