"The location is great. Near Port Authority and of course right on 42nd st about a block or two from the hustle of Times Square. It was my first time trying out the Pod hotel franchise and it was a good experience over all with the hotel itself. On our second day, the room next door decided to smoke in their room and it filled my room up with the smell of cigarettes. I had to crack open the window in 30 degree temps in the middle of the night. After 30 mins of that and hotel security coming up to tell who ever it was to stop smoking in the room, my daughter and I just could not bear the smell and freezing cold. I called back and they moved us up another room. I will say it would have been nice for someone to bring us the new room card instead of us having to pack up all of stuff in the middle of the night and in PJs to the front desk for all the other hotel guests to see us looking like fleeing refugees. A bit embarrassing without the back story. Other than that, the rooms are on the small side but every time we come back to the city we don’t spend much time in the room so it was not a big deal. Just wished there was an ice machine somewhere and the option to rent a mini fridge like some hotels have to offer. Each staff member I interacted with was great!! "

"Loved it. The distance from every where was amazing "

"Great breakfast options nearby! "

"The tv was not working. The shower pressure and temperature sucks. You’re either freezing or being burned. The hotel was not very clean. Would not stay here again. "

"Bathroom was small and in need of repairs, check in wait took longer than expected, and an extra facility fee was added when I arrived. "

"Everything was as expected. Convenient location to all places. Staff courteous and accommodating. Had answered our call immediately when AC was not working properly."

"We stay here every time we’re in NYC. Love it. The breakfast vouchers are helpful as well. We’re not ones to stay in the room much when we’re on vacation so we don’t require much"

"Tiny room but very clean. Staff were not attentive at all. Charged for water stand without providing coffee or cappuccino at all. Best location for NYFW Sony Hall and great live music! "

"Overall, this was a really disappointing experience. The lobby itself is beautiful and has a great ambience, and the staff were polite. The rooms were clean and the basic amenities were fine. However, the biggest issue was that the hotel did not deliver what was advertised on Expedia. The room we received looked much older and more worn than the photos online and was definitely not in the same condition that was promised. We also specifically booked a suite with queen beds, but when we arrived we were given two double beds instead. When we brought this up, the hotel did not accommodate us and still charged the same price we originally paid, saying it wasn’t their problem since the booking was through Expedia. Another major downside was the parking. Because the garage is connected to the hotel, it costs $52 per day. If you take your car out during the day and need to re-enter, you are charged another $52. That’s in U.S. dollars, which makes it even more expensive for international travelers once conversion rates are considered. Overall, while the lobby and staff were nice, the room quality and the lack of flexibility with the booking made the stay not worth the price. I would not recommend staying here if you’re expecting the rooms to match the photos online."
