Do not stay here at any cost

Terrible this is not a hotel. Can’t even believe how much money was spent on this place. A motel is even better than this. You don’t even have a bathroom or AC or shower in your room. Small and tight too. Worst experience I’ve ever had. Definitely not even the cheapest. One of the most expensive as well.

The hotel was clean, cute room but really small.The hotel room was very warm at first but became cool later on when i turned off light. The checkout the agent was nice. One critique is if you a larger individual in size and height it might be a little challenge to move around the room. The toilet was small.

I got exactly what I wanted which was a clean, safe place to sleep while in NYC on business. There are no special amenities but it was clean and quiet and the staff was awesome. I will stay there again.

The staff was so nice & accommodating. Everything was very clean. The room was small & the bathroom was smaller. However, the value was worth the deal in my opinion. Don’t skip on the roof top patio!

Good place for the price

POD 51 is in a convenient location. Staff was helpful/friendly. A small minimal basic room that is good for a couple of nights stay.

Should describe the shared bathroom room more, like having a sink. I tried the shared bathroom room for the first time and found it very comfortable because of the sink.

Great no-frills option.

Stayed in solo pod. Maybe my 10th trip to this hotel. Great choice if you have a full itinerary and want a clean, safe, no-frills place to lay your head. Small sink and mirror in the room are good for getting ready. There are little lights in the room that tell you which bathrooms are open - never had to wait. Friendly staff. Quiet neighborhood. Packing some crocs or flip-flops for the bathroom/shower can be a good idea - the floor is sometimes wet from the last shower. Can also throw a towel down. Each room has ample towels.
