Scary at first turned out to be Wonderful
It was a little shocking at first, but then you realize how much space you really need- which is not much! and we stayed five days. Fast elevators! We will definitely stay there again. Note: it will help to be very close with whomever you are sharing a pod with- not much privacy in the bathroom area.
Easy to walk to Broadway shows and to the Javitz center for our convention. Saved so much money not having to pay for taxi's. 
There is NO room service, but order at the bar/restaurant GREAT FOOD AND DRINKS get it to go if you want to eat in your room.
