Overall pleasant stay for solo...

Liked: Clean good location ☺️
Disliked: Rooms were small but suited for what I needed

Passable

Disliked: Dirty behind the bed. Very uncomfortable bed.

This is a good location,...

Liked: The location was good.
Disliked: The room was too small

OK

Liked: Location; ride from JFK airport made us feel like princesses; free coffee (even though was bad, but we really need caffeine) and water; common area; clean towels and beds made every day.
Disliked: Dust in the room, mostly in the carpet and windows; noise from other rooms; loud heating system; bathroom with no ventilation; limited storage room. We stayed for 12 nights in NYC and that was too much for such a small room, even if this was the best priced place we could find in Manhattan.

Manager coming into the room...

Liked: Nice location
Disliked: 3rd floor manager coming into the room uninvited, clear invasion of privacy. Doesn’t matter if she wanted to clean the room and get new towels, she could have asked for and done it in a better way.

Would recommend!

Liked: My sister and I stayed at Pod 39 for 6 nights during our trip to NYC. This was our first trip to New York and it was a fantastic location. As two girls in our twenties, it was a very safe and great location. We were on the 15th floor and the view was amazing!! It is a little expensive, but it was to be expected due to the location and the time of the year we went (November). The rooms are small (hence the word “pod”!), but has everything you could need! They are very clean with a comfy bed, heating and AC, space for your luggage/clothes and a great functioning bathroom, with hot water. The ice machine on our floor was a great touch, a water machine would have been fab. The staff were super friendly and answered any question we had. Would definitely recommend!
Disliked: Nothing I didn’t like! The rooms would benefit from a bit cleaner/softer interior as the steel doors were quite a harsh look. A water machine on the floor would have also been great.
