Service was ok, when I was heading to my room the hallway smelled like smoke and other bad smells. In my room the heater was not working. The room felt unsafe and in bad condition.

Perfect for me and my mom for New Years. At first, I was concerned about the shared bathroom, but it's actually one toilet and one shower in a door key accessible room so really it's a private bathroom, but it's in the hallway but only one person at a time can use it. I wish I would've known that part because I would've booked it sooner for the entire trip, but I was turned off by them advertising shared bathroom, but really to me that's still private. The beds were comfortable and the TVs on each bed are great because my mom loves to watch the news and I don't so us being able to watch what we wanted on our own TVs was awesome. The rooms were small, but that was OK for us. We still had everything we needed. There's still a sink in the room for you to wash hands and brush your teeth and things like that. I thought the rooms were excellent and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very kind as well.

Upon reading the reviews I was nervous to stay at pod 51, however they provided a great stay for my first trip to New York, they honestly couldn’t have made my stay any more comfortable. I would recommend and stay here again!

Great value on a budget
It was affordable and quaint. For the size and limits, the price was worth it considering the competition. There’s value there.
