I tried the Pod on a business trip to NYC this week to see if the amazing price was worth the room size. It was! I have been going to NYC on biz for many years and tried this as an alternative to the usuals of the Waldorf, Intercontinental or Marriott Marquis. Let your friends and associates rib you about...

I think that this is a good deal for the price and the location. The rooms were pretty clean and modern. They are very small but I think that's true for all hotels in NYC. Location is great and very convenient to everything in Midtown. My main complaint is that the walls of the rooms are thin. The seal on... More

The room is great, the bathroom is great, best really for only one person though. Since there are no coffee pots in the rooms, they sell coffee in the lobby, but it's like drinking gasoline and the pastries are several days old. So I suggest walking to the corner Pax, they have great coffee and food. The staff is typical... More

I just stayed at this hotel from 1/18/12 - 1/20/12. I traveled solo this time. I booked directly thru their website about a month earlier and got a fantastic rate on a "double pod" with in-room bathroom (I don't like that shared bathroom thing; I've done it before and hated it). My room was on the 8th floor. This hotel... More

Its a modern and design hotel. The location is excelent. I booked the Queen Room to have more space. And its good for a couple and 2 or 3 luggage. The bathroom is very clean but very very VERY short. But the price, location and quality are amazing. The only thing everybody hated is about the rude and unpolite woman... More

Went for a weekend visit with a friend and was on a tight budget - I'm now recommending the Pod to everyone I know who's going to visit! It's an excellent location - a few short blocks to the subway and an easy, easy walk over to Times Square if you want to catch a show. We didn't have any... More

We were looking for a fun, but reasonably priced place to stay in Midtown and landed upon this gem. Even though I was traveling with my partner, we opted for the bunk bed room with shared bath as it was the least expensive. The bunk beds were actually wide enough that you could (if you like cuddling) sleep together... but... More

I stayed here this past summer in peak season (I know, I am late getting to this!). I am in my mid 30s and I travelled with a girlfriend. We were basically looking for a cheap and clean place that was in a central location. I have to say that the Pod certainly delivered on all accounts and surpased my... More
