If you need a good clean place to stay, this is a good choice. Its not fancy, the rooms are small, but well layed out. The staff is terrific!

Great location and clean. There is no restaurant as listed. Breakfast service is simply the sale of coffee, muffins, croissant and yogurt/fruit cup.

Great location, perfect for a visit to the city. Beds are comfy, room is clean. Can’t ask for more! Rooms ARE small but unless you’re hanging out in your room, it’s not a problem.

Great hotel - easy to find, clean room, well-designed layout. My only complaint was how loud my room was - there was so much street noise, made it very difficult to sleep even with white noise blasting from my phone.

The POD felt isolated, safe, and removed from the craziness of the Times Square area; it's unfortunate that the area surrounding it is troubled by homeless people, dirty streets, sirens, and noise. BUT all that is 'far away' once you're ensconced in your small-but-clean room.

It was great, clean, secure, efficient, & will definitely use you again! The only thing I missed was a fridge for drinks but not a big deal it was really good

Our stay was great and although the rooms are small, they are comfortable. I couldn’t hear my neighbors from either side of the wall or from upstairs. I could hear the doors open and close but that’s about it. I will be staying here in the future.

Just what we needed for this trip! Location was perfect for a Broadway base camp, bunk beds were fun and practical, and we appreciated all the little extra touches like retractable wall hangers and moveable bunk ladder. Front desk was friendly and attentive. The cost, while still expensive, was very competitive for the location. We will definitely be back!
