Really enjoyed how available the shared barhrooms are, 2 per floor yet always available. I really liked how i could store my luggage for free in the lobby after checkout. The rooftop terrace is a nice bonus, with a view from 14 floors high. Had nice and quiet neighbors and made a noce experience staying here.

Room with private bathroom: all was good but the hammock shaped mattress needed to be rotated, flipped or more likely replaced. Good A/C and good water pressure.

Everything was clean but the rooms were way too small for me and my mom, the beds as well they said it was a queen but it felt like a twin in my opinion. For what you pay it was pretty expensive, but everything was walkable and near everything. The wifi wasn’t really good either.

Ok which is ok if that is your goal

Toilet was too low for an older person to get off of. AC didn’t work but was necessary to circulate air.

The staff here is incredible, especially for what's probably considered to be value hotel. This was my second stay at a pod location, previously I stayed at Pod 39 and at both locations my room was ready when I arrived - hours before the official check in time - which after a long day of travel is such a wonderful surprise. The hotel is also quiet, some places I've stayed you can hear other doors opening and closing at all times of the night waking me up but not the case here at all. The room was kept so clean by the housekeeping team and was stocked very well throughout the entire stay. One down side is that there's no streaming services, just regular cable, but you're in NYC so who really needs that anyway?!?! It was nice to have additional communal bathrooms in the hallway for each person to get ready at the same time. Also, I wish the AC worked a little better, it stayed on and kicked out air but it shot straight up to the ceiling instead of out into the room so I had to keep it on constantly to keep the room comfortable but it wasn't a deterrent for me coming back. Lastly, located within 5 minutes walking to both the E Train and the 6 Line so getting around most parts of Manhattan was easy and light traffic on the street made transportation by car convenient as well. Thank you again for a great week, can't wait to come back!!

Not bad

Better than I thought it would be. Front desk staff was responsive, friendly, helpful. Room was about what you can expect. Only complaint really was noise from people hooping and hollering in the hallways. Noise came right through the door.
