It was fairly close to where I needed to be during the day/ night. Also Ess-a Bagel was right around the corner. Staff was friendly at check in. The outlets in the bathroom didn’t work- I reported it right after I checked in (it was very rainy and I wanted to dry off a bit). They were not fixed during my stay. I was “upgraded “ to a handicap accessible room that was on the 2nd floor and directly across from the elevator (zero view). No way to control the temperature of the incredibly hot room. The housekeeping staff was incredibly loud. I’ve stayed at 3 different Pods in Manhattan. This is definitely a distant 3rd on the list.
