Convenient and comfortable

The Pod was perfect for an overnight stay in NYC to see a Broadway play. Great location, and the hotel is clean and comfortable. Rooms predictably small but with everything you need.

Very poor guest experience. Save yourself headaches and avoid the Pod Times Square. Plenty of other, better choices in the area, namely the Intercontinental on 44th.

I was surprised about this hotel. I was expecting less for the price but it ended up in a great experience. Juan Carlos, at the front desk, went beyond to help us out. Super friendly and helpful staff and close to everything. There’s a bagel place across the street that made our days in there awesome. The rooms are small but they had great views. The staff place a mini fridge in my room when they noticed I had Insuline that had to be in cold temperature. I can’t find any bad in this hotel. I had an amazing time in NY and this hotel was just perfect. I will be back there one day.

The space was just as promised, The staff were easy to communicate with and made accommodations. The breakfast bar was less than ideal and there was a bit of dust and remnants in the room. As well as my bedside light not working. Overall I did enjoy my stay, and I think any qualms I have are easy fixes.
