Great value stay in NYC
Small, clean, efficient place to stay convenient to midtown manhattan. It is loud but what else would you expect in midtown manhattan. The location feels very safe and despite the name of the hotel, rooms are private and there is even a lounge area with water, tea and coffee in the morning. Great for the price.

I heart the Pod!
I love the value that the Pod hotels offer. A good location, great price, and rooms that while small, are brilliantly designed for comfort and convenience. Pod 39 is a few blocks from Grand Central Station so it’s easy to get to and from JFK. Plus the Murray Hill location has excellent shopping and dining. Bonus- free coffee in the morning!

Great Crash Pad !
The rooms are small but with the name Pod you expect that.
Not in the most buzzing part of Manhattan, which was what I wanted but may not be what you do. Only about 5 mins walk from Grand Central and 15 mins to Time Square.
For the price this is an excellent Manhattan hotel. If like me you just want a student some like experience to crash in and will otherwise enjoy the delights of NYC, this is a great hotel for you in midtown.

Solid place for a short stay
Great location, near Grand Central Station. The rooms are tiny, which I knew. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean. The single bed was small - would've been too small if I were 6' or taller.
