I checked in late and fell right asleep. When I woke up there was a cockroach on my bedsheet by my chin, and when I jumped up I saw another one just disappearing behind the bed, and found another roach dead by the table in the room. I stayed at other Pods a few times and never had such an issue as I did at Pod51. I will NEVER stay here again super nasty.

Cute, friendly hotel with a very comfortable bed. Perfect location. One downside: while my room had a private bathroom, it was across the hall from the shared bathroom and I had trouble falling asleep due to all of the noise of people going in and out and slamming the door.

Paid over a thousand for my stay. The hallway of the floor where my room was located was being painted. The noise of the work the workers were doing didn’t let me sleep; it was too loud; and the paint gave me allergies, so I couldn’t enjoy my trip.

The room I got had no ac just a radiator. I tend to get really hot, so I had to open the windows. Which isn’t bad this time of year, though the building across the street could totally look in. Thank goodness there was shutters. Also the shower sliding door was off its track, but my husband set it back on so it works now. It’s perfect for a little getaway in the city. The amenities like the tv and clock are outdated. But regardless of that it’s a perfect little gem in NYC and I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want the frills of a hotel and just a nice quaint place to rest while exploring the city.

For the price of the rooms, the comfort is very bad, without mentioning that the place smells bad and the shared bathroom was dirty and unhygienic
