"Great location, Clean room, very nice breakfast. The room is fairly small. Some construction is going on so little noicy in the lobby area. Overall we enjoyed the stay."

"Great"

"Great location, offered all we needed. The check in took really long. It is a very large hotel, and elevators were a bit strange and it could take a while to get there. Mattresses were top notch. Great for big groups but not a cozy hotel."

"Walking distance to time square. Very clean and quiet. Cafe and breakfast available"

"The Pod is very conveniently located in Times Square. I liked the security of having two elevators (one for getting up to the lobby, another for getting to guest rooms). I didn't hear/deal with much guest noise; most of what I heard was typical outside NYC. The rooms (or at least the one I was in) don't have refrigerators or microwaves, so it's not super easy to keep leftovers or any food/snacks you'd bring with you to the hotel. There is no on-site parking, but there is a parking garage less than a block away - validated parking, but it's still quite expensive. I'd stay here if it was a quick night away, but for a long week, it started feeling very small very fast."

"The pictures were deceiving, if you get a basic room they will put you in the bottom floors which are old and had a musty smell. In order to get a room like the one in the pictures you have to pay an extra "premium" fee. I did because the bottom rooms were horrible. In our "premium" room the AC was broken and the maintenance had to come and fix it, he was rude and said we just had to adjust the thermostat. When we told him of course we tried that, he right away pulled out batteries from his pocket and replaced the batteries on the thermostat. The only areas that were decent was the view from the premium room and the desk staff. "
