Great place in good location
We had a great stay at the Pod. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was as expected size wise but had everything you could need for a New York stay (who wants to be in your hotel room all the time anyway). Shower was amazing and the room was very clean and fresh towels and bed made everyday. The location is really good. 15 min walk to Times Square, 3 min walk to the Subway or a $8 taxi to Times Square. Easy walk to UN Building and shopping in Grand Central Station and Fifth Avenue. DO NOT eat breakfast at PAX on the corner of 3rd and 51st Street. Although it looks cheap - it also tastes cheap and you can get great breakfasts in New York. Would definitely stay here again or would love to try the new hotel on 39th!!
