We will stay there again!

We had a great time staying at Pod 39. We loved the industrial chic flavor of the place, with the red, black and chrome accents. The bathroom was updated with new fixtures and stylish glass. The room wasn't large, but it was just big enough and fun and clean. The location was great for us; a quick walk to Grand Central and we had easy subway access to everything. The immediate neighborhood around Pod 39 had a deli, pizza, a bagel shop, dry cleaners, a spa and several restaurants.

PODS are always clean, safe places to spend the night and this one had a nice roof top area. The room and bathroom are tiny but have a surprising amount of space to store luggage and clothes. If you feel cramped, the lobby and lounge are very comfortable and inviting. On the downside, the floor of my room was warped, mini safe door kept hitting the entry door, and the air conditioning fan blew cold air on to the bed all night. I had to turn if off completely.

The location of the hotel is perfect for moving around the city. As expected, the room was very small, but that's ok. I wish there were more hangers for accommodating stuff, and a mini fridge. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the AC perfect for the hot summer. What I didn't like about there room was how little privacy the bathroom has, since the door is a clear sliding door just next to the bed. Also, there is no extractor in the bathroom and the room gets humid after taking showers. The rooftop has a pretty view, but the drinks are poorly made and very very expensive for how low quality they are.

Reasonably priced, clean, quiet, safe. It’s not fancy but if you’re looking for a place to crash after exploring Manhattan, I highly recommend! Bonus, beautiful rooftop bar, and a bar and restaurant on the first floor.

The streets are calling....!

I have selected this property again for the third time within a few months because I very safe and at home. The staff and the complimentary coffee in the morning is a big plus as it prepares me for a day of shooting. I'm an unbarn landscape photographer and the streets of NYC is one of my favorite subjects to capture on both film and digitally.

A PERFECT LITTLE FIND IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN

POD39 is the PERFECT hotel for business travel when you are working all day and just need somewhere nice and clean to lay down and sleep at night. Bed was comfortable, shower was wonderful (included shampoo, conditioner & body wash), everything was clean and the room was cleaned daily, whether I asked for it or not. The staff was courteous, friendly, professional and just great! Especially Jenae Johnson, the Assistant Front Office Manager.
