Pod 51 - New York

Liked the Pod, as ever. Small of course, but well maintained, clean, efficiently run. We wonder why providing wash cloths along with towels for the shower seems to be so impossible.

Good basic hotel for the price. Great location. Perfect for 1 night stay.

I booked a room with a full-size bed and a private bath. We were upgraded to a queen, a lovely bonus. (My wife and I are 70, the oldest couple I saw by decades). The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. As to room size, the major topic I've noticed in the reviews, ours was similar to that of a small cruise ship room: not spacious but it does the job. We did not feel cramped. My one complaint is that the area next to the too-small sink gets drenched every time you use the it because the location of the faucet is so poorly placed. It should be much smaller and off-center. It's impossible to use without water going everywhere, including the floor. My bottom line, though, is that the comparatively low price for a comfortable room in this prime neighborhood makes this hotel a great choice.

Great location, great people, great TV and Internet, comfy beds...only 2 toilets on the floor for everyone to share and a VERY small room. Perfect for me or another business traveler, probably not the best for a family stay.

This is probably the nicest hotel that I have stayed at in New York that often offers single rooms for less than $125. I especially like how everything is so clean and modern -- and the rooms are actually a little larger than at any other hotel that I have stayed at in the same price range. It's also in a great location, not only close to subway stations, but really not that far from Grand Central Station or even Times Square, if you don't mind walking.
