Best value for location. Great terrace deck! Make sure your room has own toilet and shower; we were not aware these had to be shared with other hotel guests, didn’t see anything mentioned when booking.

We have stayed at Pod 51 since it started. This stay was great as we love the location as well as the French restaurant next door. It is getting a bit tired looking in some areas but that wouldn’t keep us away yet.

Overall you get what you pay for. I only have two particularly strong complaints. First is that we had some issues with the second key card not working multiple times even after getting a replacement. The other is the smell wasn’t the most pleasant in our room. I would be willing to stay again though.

It was a nice stay. Room is something on the small side and a bit noisy but it’s a Manhattan. Staff was nice and welcoming. In overall I can recommend it for short stay.

This is a nice place if your planning to just stay for two or 3 nights but if your gonna be out and about but aside from that that’s it. The staff ladies are really nice though, they helped me find out where is the bathroom and how the lights in the room that tell you which bathroom or shower place is in use.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Some rooms don’t have proper windows, and it’s extremely noisy. We had to ask three times to change our room before finally getting one with proper windows. Even then, it was still very noisy - both from outside and in the hallway. The air conditioning in our room wasn’t working either. I don’t recommend this place, and the surrounding area is also dirty.
