The Pod Hotel - tiny but does the trick
My daughter and I stayed at the Pod Hotel in New York last weekend. We had a bunk bed room with a shared bath. The room was even smaller than I expected but we pretty much knew what we were getting into so no complaints there. There was only one chair so one of us had to sit on the bed if we were both sitting down. The room was very clean and we never had any hold up on getting into one of the shared bathrooms. there is a monitor in your room telling you which of the four bathrooms someone was in. They were never full. Two of them were right across from our room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a beautiful waterfall/garden oasis across the street where we had lunch one day and that was really nice. The hotel is a few blocks from the 6 and the E subway lines so that was also convenient. Even though we have decided we wouldn't stay there again we would recommend it to anyone on a budget who has a sense of adventure!
