I didn’t realize that I booked a room with a shared bathroom. It’s basically like a dorm in college. Room was small, but I expected that. With it being New York and all. Location isn’t too far away from Times Square, just a 15 minute walk. I probably won’t ever book again just because I like my own space. Staff was very nice and easy check in.

There needs to be a gym and the no bathroom thing should be in bold letters instead of small

Pod 51 is located in a GREAT area! Close to many restaurants, the subway lines, and there's a CVS store right around the corner. My room was very clean and the cleaning staff was very friendly and always ready to help, if needed. The top deck is awesome! Great place to unwind in the evening with a great view! Highly

I have never stayed at a pod style hotel. My son had stayed at hostels in Europe and this was somewhat similar. We had the bunk room which was small but very clean and sufficient. We had a sink and enough room for our luggage. The bathroom was across the hall and never had a wait. The café for a coffee or breakfast was nice in the lobby and the roof top deck was excellent. We had no noise issues and the location was great.
