Upon check in even though we paid in full they charge an extra $22 per day. For what? I don’t know what for. The hotel is stripped down, not even tissues in the room. When I asked for a box they offered me a roll of toilet paper. The location is excellent for walking to Broadway shows but it is a place to sleep, no extras.

Quick stay

Stated overnight for a quick visit to NYC. Check in was easy and they upgraded me to a queen room even though I booked the bunk bed room. Room was just enough space for me overall clean room. Only thing I would have liked is a bit heavier blankets but that is a personal preference.

It’s an awful experience with this hotel, will never book this hotel! I took two kids for sports tournament in Manhattan, when I tried to check in at 8 pm at the hotel, I was told my reservation is cancelled due to its system error, I quickly searched nearby hotel and nothing for three of us, I had to book a 2 person pod room to let my kids sleep while I stay up all night sinc e my kids have early morning game next day, such horrible experience, this type of hotel should be banned!

Such a convenient spot for a theater night!! Checked in—rested—went to dinner at Joe Allen (classic!) — saw an amazing show—stopped across the street from POD at West Bank Cafe—“home” to bed. Perfecto!!
