Very nice stay, comfortable and well located a few blocks from Time Square. Small room, but functional and the beds are comfortable. On the other hand, we would have appreciated having access to a small refrigerator in the room and a microwave somewhere in the hotel. Thanks to the kind staff.

The Pod was perfect for an overnight stay in NYC to see a Broadway play. Great location, and the hotel is clean and comfortable. Rooms predictably small but with everything you need.

Friendly and helpful front desk service. Rooms are typical NY size -- small. But good use of space none the less.
Lacking a number of amenities like in-room coffee, tissues. Bathroom was clean and modern but water from the compact sink and shower spray everywhere -- I feel sorry for housekeeping.
Great location for access to theater district and multiple parking garages in the area. Nice lobby lounge.

If you just need a place to rest your feet and sleep, then this place is for you. Our room had a twin over twin bunkbed with plenty of charging ports, reading lights, and a bluetooth-capable TV for each bunk. Rain-drop shower with separated sprayer, shampoo etc included. It was all we needed for our trip to the Big Apple near Times Square.

I’ve stayed at this Pod Hotel twice now and have had a good experience both times. Friendly front desk staff, clean rooms, easy access to the Subway, walking distance to Times Square and the theaters, and lots of restaurants nearby. The rooms are small but have everything you need. Will definitely stay here again.

Perfect base for lots of things. Close to the Port Authority subway and only one stop away from Penn Station. The bunk bed room was great for me and my tween daughter. Only wish there had been coffee in room! But there was a Starbucks around the corner.

This was an amazing location for the price. The room was on the smaller side but we expected that. It was spotless! The staff was super nice. The hotel was quiet. There was never a long wait for the elevators. We will stay here again.

Great budget option near Times Square. Definitely as described - small but comfortable. The opaque wall for the bathroom was strange but not off putting. Staff was efficient and very friendly.
