Even though I stayed in a double pod with a private bathroom, the communal bathrooms were very clean and comfortable to use.

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

The management should provide clear instructions on how to operate the air conditioning system. I had never encountered this before, throughout my stay the cooling was off and I was unable to sleep. I came late, exhausted from the day and couldn’t find the energy to ask.
