Booked the room with its own bathroom, make sure you check before booking or else you'll be sharing! Our room did not have a working AC/heating unit but they comped us for it. Cleanliness was good, rooms are tight but as to be expected in NYC. Rooftop view is great. Water pressure was good and had hot water

I have been staying at pod 51 for as long as i can remember. It is my home away from home when i visit NY. Location, location! Its a hidden gem! The staff is friendly and helpful and Albert the manager is always helpful to me! I notice a few renovations of the rooms and i anticipate more like bathroom fixture and new seatings in the lobby. After visiting time and time again, i finally got an upgrade to one of the best rooms ever! I will now ask to get that room from now on lol. Continue to do the great work. My recent stay was great!

The windows are paper thin and I could hear everything on the street. I had the worst sleep. There was a bell going off every 15-20 min all night. They should put a ductless ac unit in instead of a window unit
