Pod 51

Nice hotel. Good location and style. Though it wasnt very clear that there would be an additional charge of $20 per night for concierge and toiletries.

The hotel is fine, except the shower tap did not turn on hot water properly, and the lifts were quite poor. You could wait 10 minutes for a lift to stop at your floor that you could get in. During the day only 1 lift was available.

Pleasant- like an adult hostel.

I always enjoy my stay at Pod 51, they have some very nice amenities - the roof deck is a treat and the cafe is a good option for breakfast or evening relaxation. The rooms are very basic, but that's the idea of this property, and they've always been clean and provide the necessities.

Very good value - compact quiet room with comfortable bed and very small bathroom. A few downsides: 1) lobby has a very strong sweet odor wafting through it; I am highly allergic to scents. 2) the desk chair is extremely uncomfortable. They use "Barcelona" chairs throughout the hotel which are torture on the back. I tried using pillows and lumbar support of my own which helped slightly 3) design feature. The stainless steel sink is very cool but the water goes all over the place. They should provide a washcloth or sponge.
