Just what we needed for this trip! Location was perfect for a Broadway base camp, bunk beds were fun and practical, and we appreciated all the little extra touches like retractable wall hangers and moveable bunk ladder. Front desk was friendly and attentive. The cost, while still expensive, was very competitive for the location. We will definitely be back!

Very nice stay, comfortable and well located a few blocks from Time Square. Small room, but functional and the beds are comfortable. On the other hand, we would have appreciated having access to a small refrigerator in the room and a microwave somewhere in the hotel. Thanks to the kind staff.

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.

Great location for theater area
Friendly and helpful front desk service. Rooms are typical NY size -- small. But good use of space none the less.
Lacking a number of amenities like in-room coffee, tissues. Bathroom was clean and modern but water from the compact sink and shower spray everywhere -- I feel sorry for housekeeping.
Great location for access to theater district and multiple parking garages in the area. Nice lobby lounge.

Big Apple Tourist Place to Stay
If you just need a place to rest your feet and sleep, then this place is for you. Our room had a twin over twin bunkbed with plenty of charging ports, reading lights, and a bluetooth-capable TV for each bunk. Rain-drop shower with separated sprayer, shampoo etc included. It was all we needed for our trip to the Big Apple near Times Square.
