Pleasantly surprised
This was my first stay at Pod Times Square and I would definitely stay again. The room was clean and very well organized. Yes, the space is small, but it includes everything you need exactly where you need it. My only complaint is the elevator (you need to take two elevators up and down), but I realize this must have been an architectural adaptation. Coffee in the room would be a big plus, but it's not so far away.

No frills but price was right
So glad we discovered this hotel. Super affordable, very functional without feeling cheap. No frills but we didn’t need them. Bunk beds were comfortable. TVs didn’t work but it wasn’t a big deal. Location was fine, maybe a couple blocks away from the main tourist areas but didn’t feel sketchy. Will stay here again.

Scammed me.
I booked a room for day trip in New York. Upon check in I have noticed a sharp chemical smell from the bedsheets. The front desk staff were unable to switch the room due to availability. After a short deliberation I elected to cancel my stay due to concerns about the smell. The hotel charged me the full stay fee and refused refund.
