Clean, Modern, Close to Everything!
After researching for weeks and weeks, we booked here at the Pod 51. Understanding the fact that it is NYC and space is limited, we understood that our "Pod" would be compact. It was indeed but we opted with a room with private bath and found it very comfortable! We read several reviews about this and that but during our stay, we NEVER encountered any problems with safety, noise (other than construction outside on neighboring buildings), rude staff, etc. Everyone was polite and the place is extremely clean! The price is better than any surrounding hotels, etc. We visited the lobby bar and it was extremely modern and hip. Enjoyed the outside area of the bar, very nice. The rooftop terrace is very nice as well! Housekeeping staff was excellent! I really have no negative remarks about the Pod 51! I just had to take a peek inside of the shared bathrooms located on each floor and they were very clean as well. I am a hotel General Manager and have been for 14 years. I am very particular on where I stay and I must say that I cannot give enough kuddos to this place! Keep it up Pod 51 and I'm sure you will be around to stay! I highly recommend this place! :)
