I was pleasantly surprised when I was upgraded from a single to a double room free of charge and overall I can't fault the room for the price in Manhattan. However, it would have been a 5 star review if it wasn't for the bathroom extractor fan being constantly on as well as the air con/heating fan directly above my head also being on all the time, no matter what I set on the controls. Other than that, I would actually stay here again despite these things since you should have ear plugs anyway to deal with street noise, and a little bit of dry mouth never hurt anyone!

very efficient. Small compact room. But very clean and comfortable. No room to sit anywhere really except on your bed, or at the small desk.

I'm a regular at Pod 39 when I come to NYC by myself. It's very minimalist and if I was planning to spend more time in my room, I'd go elsewhere, but exactly what I need when I'm in the city to see shows and check out some exhibitions. Always clean and my room is always ready when I arrive (which has not been my experience at other NYC hotels).

Mostly good

My only complaint about Pod39 is that the outlets above the desk never seem to work. I always have to climb under the desk to use the outlets to charge my phone and other electronic devices. As a senior, that’s not very convenient.

Great price, the location was fairly close to broadway, and many restaurants. You can be in Time Square in less than 30 min walking. The room is small, we were tired so we slept well, but there the walls are thin, so you can hear many sounds at night. For a night or two is great. Also they offer parking a property around the corner, so that was great, we probably will be back.
