On May 7, 2013, a friend and I headed to NYC for a tequila tasting at La Biblioteca. We needed a place to stay overnight. Staying in NYC is never cheap but we wanted to go as conservatively as possible. Searching for hotels online you find not much in the way of sub-$300 a night places. I came across Pod... More

Paid $235 a night for this hotel using one of the discounted websites. Had I known I would have spent a little more for something more comfortable. There is barely enough room to walk. One wall is covered with a desk and the bed, the other side has a place to hang the clothes, and the bathroom. The bathroom has... More

This hotel did 'the trick'. It was very clean and modern as well as safe and walking distance to Time Square area and Grand Central Station. The drawback was the room size...it was tiny (maybe a bit bigger than my walk-in closet). Also a little chinsey with shampoo and towels. I would definitely stay here again as long as it... More

Every review about this place is true. I highly suggest not just staying here, but really looking at the people that work here and the thought that went into design.. Each employee was hand picked by HR. Therein lies the genius of this place. Kudos to the staff,designers and organizers. The people here will far out weigh it's compact size.... More

Clean functional hotelon 39th street not far from Grand Central station. Rooms small but very clean and comfortable, all with attached bathroom. Good rooftop bar. Price reasonsble for the area. Walking distance to Times Square and near tje subway.

My daughter is a model and worked Fashion Week 2013. We needed to be in Manhattan for 3 weeks, but affordably. We gambled on Pod 39 for the primary reason of the price. We were in 1501, next to an elevator, and although I'd read reviews complaining of noise, we had no problem with this. Up high on the 15th... More

Nicely priced, nicely located hotel -we've tried a lot in mid-town, and this place was unique, funky, and fun. The rooms are quite compact, but offer most of what you need - clean, comfortable beds, cozy. This hotel has a great bar scene - one on the main floor, and one on the roof top. It is a young, hip...

The hotel is fine: a well designed, well functioning beehive extracting maximum utility from every square inch of space. Room looks like an Ikea "demo" setup for "how to furnish 100 sq. ft": there is about 2-3 feet of floor space surrounding the bed, and some of that is occupied by minimalistic furniture. Everything you need is there and works.... More

I stayed at Pod 29 for two nights on a business trip. The hotel was well situated and was everything I expected. The room was certainly compact and there was no closet or much spare room. This being said, the room was well thought out. From hooks and hangers on the wall for a few items of clothing, a drawer... More
