You Just Found the Hotel for Your NY Trip Great news! You can finally stop searching for inexpensive and decent hotels in New York because you've found the best one. There isn't anything better or cheaper—I looked. But I do have to say, that most of the staff at the hotel that I spoke to and one of the Pod Hotels phone operators have a terrible attitude, even for New York. Sheesh! What is wrong with these people? I've encountered bad attitudes in New York before but these people... they need an award for worst attitude ever! Except for one guy... there's a guy there named Benny, I'm not sure if he's the manager or what but he's your guy. He has a nice attitude and isn't rude and terrible like the other ones. I hope he gets a raise. And I hope all the other ones get fired or worse work in New Jersey forever (NY inside joke). But I do wish they get fired, that's how bad my experience was with those people.

I request seating for the staff I really liked everything about the hotel, especially the extremely kind and very helpful staff, as well as the proximity to the main attractions of Manhattan. My only complaint is the lack of seating for the staff — even at night, when there are no guests to assist, they are not allowed to sit and rest, and have to remain standing the whole time. For me, this is unacceptable. I would kindly ask you to take this into consideration and provide these wonderful, hardworking people with a chair to sit on when they don’t have anyone to serve at their station. That would truly be a great solution.

Solo quick NYC Trip I stayed in a Full Pod on the 3rd floor. Room was spotless and perfect for 1 person! The bed was well sized but it was pretty firm, no super comfy. Bathroom was cozy - loved having a window in there to vent! Appreciated the body wash, shampoo and conditioner being in the shower so I didnt' have to pack it! Sink was small but functional. Only thing I would change in the room is to add more lighting at the sink - was hard to apply face makeup with poor lighting. Also - I was close to the hall bathrooms (for people who don't have a bathroom in their pod) and the doors were noisy. People not careful to shut the doors quietly woke me up and made it harder to fall asleep. So I suggest at room at the end of a hall if you're sensitive to things like that, I did have white noise/fan sounds playing and I could still hear the doors over that. But the location is perfect and so easy with transportation to get around the city. I would stay here again someday.

Adequate, but not up to expectations for the brand. A few little annoyances and discomfort really added up. The headboard had a shelf at just the right height to press into the back of my skull if I tried to sit up; the toilet was too close to the wall for me to sit facing fully forward; the sink was only about a foot in diameter, too small for me to have my whole face over it at once; the wire chair at the desk was quite uncomfortable, especially since the seat curved up a few inches before it met the back. Overall, I'll pick another Pod hotel next time, as this wasn't what I expected from having stayed at some of their other hotels.
