A nod to the Pod.....

This was my third or fourth stay at Pod39. Staff is unfailingly helpful and responsive. Housekeeping is great and the location is wonderful. Yes, the rooms are small, but they're intelligently designed and laid out.

The staff were welcoming and helpful with any questions I had. The rooms were clean and there was a window that you could open for some fresh air. The rooms are on the smaller side, but that’s something that comes with the affordable price and good value of the hotel. The hotel is a short walk from Grand Central and the subway, which was very convenient. I appreciated the transparency on what I was paying and would totally stay here again.

All good, value for money, only issue is with the hot water and water pressure. It was a challenge to set it in the right temp and could have had better shower water pressure.

Its OK

Its an OK option. Great location. Poor design choices mean the small space doesnt work as well as it could - so the narrow shower area (fine) gets more unpleasant because a nylon shower curtain is continually blown by the air con and constantly wraps around you. Little fixes would make it better.
