Although the room was very small, it was nice. It was a pleasant surprise to have plenty of outlets. The stainless steel bathroom was clean. The shower was very nice with hot water and rain shower stream. The bed was thankfully hard. All around a nice room.

Pod 51 is an economical way to stay in Manhattan. It is less than a 30 minute walk to Broadway and Time Square. It is relatively close to the subway if walking is not for you. There is a small grocery store less than 2 blocks away. There are also good places to eat near the hotel.

Simple, budget-friendly, clean, and convenient. Only 4 min walk from a subway station (line E). Located in a nice area. Many good restaurants and bars around. The Greenacre park is across the street with beautiful waterfalls and a cozy cafe. Room is very small, basic, but quiet, comfortable, and functional. I would stay again.
