Good place for the price
POD 51 is in a convenient location. Staff was helpful/friendly. A small minimal basic room that is good for a couple of nights stay.

Really nice area, clean room, close to good food and a metro station. I was able to store my luggage after checkout which was incredibly helpful. I’d definitely recommend bringing a robe as the bathrooms can get rather humid so dressing immediately is not ideal. I’d stay there again and recommend to a friend.

Close to a lot! Good value for Money
Hostel like stay but private room so I really liked it! Just the essentials, but I was also in one of the cheapest rooms as well, so, that’s fine. It is excellent value for your money.
Good service, really close to the trains, and a small walk to Rockefeller.

Comfortable Queen bed
Affordable and friendly option in midtown...super comfortable Queen bed. Unpretentious staff. Helpful Reception. Cool indoor/outdoor relaxing spaces.

Should describe the shared bathroom room more, like having a sink. I tried the shared bathroom room for the first time and found it very comfortable because of the sink.
