I needed a place to sleep whilst my apt was being painted. Pod 51 was the perfect pick. I opted for the full pod which has a private bathroom. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. The only thing was the air conditioner - it worked fine but was noisy. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay.

Some of the guest are loud along the corridor. Can’t blame this on the hotel but inconsiderate travelers who just does not know how to shut the hell up. Hotel is affordable for NY city price. Great for short stay.

For a Pod hotel the rooms were small but slightly more space than expected. The rooftop was nice but we were asked to leave around 12:30 at night, we didn’t know there was a cutoff since there were no signs indicating that. Restaurants are nearby and not to far from the subway.

A wonderful hotel to stay in. Everything is in walking distance including food, transportation, and major tourist attractions which include 5TH Ave, Time Square, Central Park, St. Patrick Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall and Rockefella Center. The air conditioning kept me cool. The bed was comfortable and the restrooms and showers were cleaned and I didn’t have any trouble utilizing them when needed. The elevators worked and the hotel staff were amazing. Plus the cost is very affordable and reasonable and, yes, I definitely would stay there again the next time I’m in town.
