We have stayed at Pod 51 since it started. This stay was great as we love the location as well as the French restaurant next door. It is getting a bit tired looking in some areas but that wouldn’t keep us away yet.

This is a nice place if your planning to just stay for two or 3 nights but if your gonna be out and about but aside from that that’s it. The staff ladies are really nice though, they helped me find out where is the bathroom and how the lights in the room that tell you which bathroom or shower place is in use.
