We were in town to see "Hamilton". Short walking distance to the Rogers Theater. Great location overall, and decently priced. Friendly staff. Tiny rooms, so possibly not the best option of you travel with kids. The mattress seemed a bit shorter than standard queen size.

I have stayed at the Pod Times Square three times and have been very happy with our stay. I have recommended it to family members who have also been happy.

Liked: nice staff, clean room, just enough space for me, lower price, travel on a budget, good location, variety of nearby restaurants and stores, quiet, high floor, daily cleaning of room, fast easy checkout, could not hear neighbors, heater was on point, good spacious shower, very comfortable bed, nice power outlets, the closet works though small. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I will return in the Spring and bring my family. Dislikes: restaurant closed without notice (permanently), didn't get to use my bar drink coupon, small sink - hard to wash face.

I was kinda not sure at first after reading the different reviews but I took my chances. I just needed to stay for one night because of an event I had to attend. The checking in process was fast and the representative was very polite. I asked her where could I grab a cab when I’m ready to go to my event & she was very polite in explaining. From traveling from Upstate New York I forgot a lot about getting around in the city. The room was a bit small but cozy and clean for just one night and was only me. I was all the way on the 22nd floor which I’m afraid of heights but eventually I’ve gotten used to it. The view was amazing. I’ll def stay at the POD again whenever I have another engagement in the city. The price was not bad either, was affordable and like 5mins from The Port Authority Bus Station, within walking distance. Very convenient. I’ll def tell friends and family about it.

We stayed at Pod 51 a few years ago because it was in a neighborhood close to family, and enjoyed the concept of an affordable place to sleep with the amenities of a "big space" accommodation. We chose Pod Times Square this time because our agenda included a Broadway show, and other things to do either by walking or riding the bus. Highly recommend for two travelers.

Was in NY for family get together. The room was small but nice and clean. The only issue was the shower..The first night, there was NO hot water..i called front desk and said would send someone up and they never did. The rest of the time, the water was barely warm. The location, price and the security of entering hotel was on point. I would stay again for that reason. You're close to just about everything you want to see or do.

Just spent 5 nights over New Year’s Eve in a bunk pod room on the 20th floor. I was recommended to stay by a family member, and I was more than pleased for my first stay! The price & fees are right for the location on 42nd St (usually I prefer to be in upper Times Square closer to Central Park). While the bunk pod room is quite small and narrow, my friend and I made it work. The bunk ladder is removable if you need more floor space to maneuver around. Appreciated all the hooks on the walls, and the plugs for each bunk. The bottom bunk had a dimmer switch too. Bathroom is tiny but efficient with a generous sized shower stall. I already booked my next stay at Pod Times Square!

Everyone is great. Other than the water pooling in the shower it was perfect. I’m used to having a fridge and microwave in my hotels but this was a soaking trip so I was fine not having them. The room is perfect for one person or maybe two. The view was to die for. Everything and I do mean everything was within walking distance. All the restaurants are down the street. Time square in a block away. Will definitely stay there again but only on a solo trip not with the family

The pod was nice but I probably won’t go back. A lot of sketchy people coming in the elevators trying to get in the hotel ( but you need your key for elevators) our room key didn’t work in elevators so it kept taking us to the lobby , a lot of people complained about this. There was a nice bar, unfriendly door man, very crowded at night with people going to bar. Hotel isn’t walking distance to Times Square. Needed a Uber, area is kinda sketchy, not somewhere I’d walk with my kids. Room was clean, tiny but advertised to be tiny.

This was my 1st time staying at the Pod, the rooms are small just like the pictures. It was enough space for me and my 3 children. It's within walking distance from Amtrack train station, and Times Square. There is a chinese restaurant across the street that has really good food. They will also hold your bags, until your room is ready. I would stay here again and would recommend this hotel to other's. I didn't get a chance to go to the rooftop bar and restaurant.
