I like the pod

Last time I had a queen bed and that was great. The double bed I had this time was quite small, uncomfortable for two people. The light in the bathroom is on a sensor and turns on automatically when you enter the room. Since the bathroom walls are made of frosted glass, this wakes up both people in the room. But the hotel is very convenient and inexpensive and I’ll stay there again

My room was very close to the elevator which has been a noisy adventure at other hotels, but my room was absolutely quiet, which was great for sleeping.

Fantastic value. Great location. Our bunkbed room was small, clean, functional, and quiet, with big windows. The bunkspace was cute, each bunk with its own TV, charging port, and reading light.The bathroom is big with an amazing shower. Nice lobby seating area with plush seating. Building entrance is a bit hard to spot. Very highly recommended!

It was 5 minute walk from the port authority subway. In times square it's very convenient to walk and find good eateries very close by. I will stay here again.

In the Hells Kitchen neighbourhood. We purchased the full pods. You have to request a refrigerator in your room- no charge. The full pod has an ensuite shower with nice pressure and hot water. Beds and linens are clean and comfortable. Great base and very central to enjoying the city.
View from the 18th Floor - Rm 1834
TV with Spectrum Cable- use 10 for local and 30 for deluxe channels eg. Discovery, Disney etc

You’re better off in a hostel!

Shoebox! Think one level above a hostel! Never again. Room ridiculously small, the shower curtain is too short, so you step into a wet floor, to an hour + to get an iron/ironing board, not enough power outlets, zero views, dingy and dark baskets, shady AF characters outside, in elevators, and on your floor! Never again.
This was an upgraded room!
Banged me head on that ledge trying to wash my face!
You see the bed on the other side of the shower?
Shower curtain too short, so you step out on a wet floor mat!!
