Great place , rooms are small but highly functional. You just need a place, this is perfect. Best for solo travelers, if you have a big family, you won't fit in one room and may need a few rooms or you may need to stay at a more "traditional" hotel. Great places to eat down the street. Shake shack right 1 block down. Win!

I was there for a solo trip and this place checks all the boxes. I’m used to the tight spaces associated with nyc living, and this definitely fits the bill. As expected with a place called pod, this is a small room, equipped with full bathroom, safe, twin bed, hangers, and desk. Only thing missing was a mini fridge. It’s absolutely perfect for nyc on a budget or brief trips where youre not looking for lavishnes. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The amenities were great to get you going including free coffee in the morning and gym day passes to the blink around the corner. The rooftop bar is beauitful and a great place to get your work done during the day because no one really utilized it. There was exterior construction during the day but that didnt disturb any of my sleeping hours.
