"Bad smell in room"

"The pod hotel is really great. 2nd time we’ve stayed here. It is spotless. Concierge are super helpful and so knowledgeable. We didn’t eat here and only had 1 drink at the bar as New a York is outside the hotel. It’s 5min walk from Times Square, the bus station and 10min from Javits Conference centre, the Vessel & Hudson Yards. The rooms are compact but for 3 days were perfect as they are really clean and shower is awsome. Cleaned every day. Remember to put your “Service Now” plate on the outside of the metal door. I really do like pod hotel."

"The only hotel I stay in nyc!! Perfect location "

"The property was very convenient to walk to subway stations, Central Park and Rockefeller Center. Wish it had a coffee maker in the room. It was a hassle to go down 40 floors to grab a cup of coffee in the morning."

"Staff was super sweet and friendly. Was able to give us directions at times too. Food was amazing in the lobby bar. And the waiter we had is super awesome. "

"Elevators were inadequate for the number of floors and people staying there. Breakfast a madhouse each day. Very average. Staff were cheerful, helpful, profesional."

"The location of the hotel was excellent and easily the best part of the stay. It was close to everything we wanted to do, including the metro, Times Square, restaurants, and shows, which made getting around very convenient. The room itself was very clean and well maintained, and we appreciated the small touches like complimentary water bottles. We also had a nice view, which added to the overall comfort of the room. That said, despite the great location and cleanliness, I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The elevators were a major issue and really took away from the experience. There were four elevators total, but only two actually serviced the lobby. One elevator was out of order during our stay, and another only ran between reception on the 7th floor and the guest rooms. As a result, wait times were extremely long. We often stood waiting while elevators arrived already full and then continued on. We did eventually take the stairs a few times from the 10th floor down to the street, but the hotel goes from floor 7 to 30+ so that's not feasible for many. Additionally, a smaller but frustrating issue was that the shower soap in our room ran out and was never refilled, even after housekeeping visits. While not a dealbreaker on its own, combined with the elevator problems it added to the overall disappointment. Unfortunately, these issues overshadowed what could have otherwise been a very enjoyable stay, especially for the cost."

"Nice place. Little old but nice. "

"Unfortunately, I really wanted to love this hotel. The lobby is absolutely stunning. Everyone working at the reception desk was kind, down-to-earth, and helpful. We had a late flight in so we arrived around 10 PM, and immediately went to Times Square to check it out. When we got back to the room, I noticed that after I had turned the heat on it still stayed at 63°. It was 40° outside, and the heat did not work. My daughter and I froze the first night. I thought it would be better the next morning, but the room did not get any warmer. I went to the front desk to tell them that the heat was broken and they wrote my room number on a sticky note and told me that maintenance would take a look at it. I did not have to be in the room just go on about my day and my vacation. When I checked back in the afternoon, I asked if anyone had been up to the room yet and they had no idea what I was talking about. So once again, I asked them to have maintenance take a look at the heat. When I got back later that evening, it was still at 63°. I went back down to the desk and asked for a new room. They were fully booked so they could not accommodate me. They told me to check back in the next morning for a new room and gave me a blanket, but I would have to wait until they were all cleaned. I also waited 30 minutes for a room key. I was promised a better room, that their bellhop staff would take care of our bags. None of this happened. By our 4th night and 3 rooms, we were finally accommodated."
