Nice Place to Rest
The POD is great in a pinch, the staff was great and the hotel nice, clean, and inviting. Bear in mind that POD rooms are very small, but pretty comfortable nonetheless. I would recommend giving the POD a shot.

This place is cozy and despite it's small, its really nice and clean, the only bad thing i could mention is the noise, somedays we were trying to sleep a little longer and the housekeepers do a lot of noise when they're cleaning the next door rooms, all the time opening and closing doors

Great location only 3 blocks from Grand Central Terminal with trains and subways. The staff very helpful and always friendly. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Rooms are designed to be quite small but lots of spaces in lobby area and rooftop for reading or visiting.

This is a very, very busy place, and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful at all times. I really appreciated the club room as a place to hang out and get free coffee in the mornings. The TVs in the room are tiny and extremely old. They’re bolted to the wall in such a way as to prevent access to HDMI ports for streaming, etc. These sorely need an update— people want to be able to stream to their TVs now. The rooftop bar is a bit overrated - very small, crowded, and expensive. Not my scene. All in all, if you can get past the small rooms and don’t mind crowded elevators at all times of day, this place is a good value for the location.
