The room was perfect for me and my grandson. Our room consisted of bunk beds. The only thing is the TV did not work properly but in NY City who cares! Would gladly stay again!

More often than not when I travel to see relatives in NJ, I build in a day to get over jet lag in NYC. Every time I go to POD Hotel Times Square as they are exactly what I need; a clean place with a comfy bed and a nice shower located near every major NYC mass transit line I want to take. No notes.

We were initially surprised by the tiny size of our bunk bed pod, but it ended up being perfect for what we needed. The price was unbeatable, and the room had everything we needed, including clever space-saving furnishings like a small bedside phone charger/reading light/storage nook for each person. It was very clean and new looking, and the staff were all great. They even have an app with activities and recommendations for guests of Pod hotels.

A great property for the price paid, it had everything we needed from a stay… as two mates travelling, the bunk bed option was brilliant where loads of hotels only offered double beds or a big surcharge for twins. Room was fine with a great view of NY. Shower lovely, bed very comfy and a tv. Safe was great addition. Hotel felt safe. It’s not luxury but this is not what hotel is all about.. it’s great value and was perfect for us. Very convenient for Port Authority Coach Stn and midtown Manhattan all walkable from here. 10/10 to Pod Times Square. 👏

The rooms here are small, but functional, with everything you need for a good stay. The common areas are nicely designed...just be aware that to use the gym, you need to book directly through their site. Very walkable to Times Square, Penn Station and public transit....great location if you're looking to be on the go all day and just need a good place to crash for the evening. I stay here when I am in town for business, but would also bring my family here if looking to explore the city.

The entrance is a bit hard to find without obvious signage. The check in was easy. A request to wave the resort/facilities fee was denied. I didn't use any of their facilities other the room to sleep and I had already played an obnoxiously high price by reserving several weeks in advance. The room is small, about the size of a very small single dorm room. There was a bunk bed with a ladder which took much of the floor space; once removed and placed in a corner, there was room to maneuver. There was a small desk surface and a metal straight chair. A USB socket was found on the back of the clock. It was not a space conducive to working on. The sink and toilet were in a space reminiscent of the lav on an Airbus 320. Surprisingly, the shower was much larger than would have been expected which seemed odd. The warmth of the water was not great in the morning. The towels had an unpleasant chemical odor. There was a TV at the foot of each bed on the bunk. Neither could be used because the remote was inoperable. Inexplicably, the wall if each bunk had 4 power outlets. The bedding was much more comfortable than expected. The room was full of sharp cornered metal furnishings. There was a nice bar/lounge area. The bartender was dressed like my neighbor when we watch hockey on TV...barkeeps at Holiday Inns in Akron dress better. The Pod would have been acceptable at a price point $150 less...at $300, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
