Very cheap and nice hotel

My buddies and I were in New York last month for a dance competition and I was really happy during our stay at The Pod Hotel because first of all…IT IS CHEAP! Not cheap in a sense that the room sucks and the place is located in a desolate place because it actually has everything we need like a room to sleep in, a place where we can eat and hang out and it is also very accessible because the Grand Central Station is just a few steps away. We stayed in a Bunk Pod which I shared with my best bud Roger while the other dudes got their own bunks too. The room was really cool cos it has TV, mp3 docking stations and Wi-Fi so we can surf the net anytime we want. Although it doesn’t have its own bathroom, the shared ones outside was clean and spacious so we didn’t have any problem with that. I actually felt at home during my stay at this hotel. I really love staying at the outdoor café during mornings for coffee and its rooftop was also awesome for a drink and checking out great views. The food at East Side Social Club is also superb and affordable too.

Manhattan's elite

Hip, stylish, affordable and laid back! These are the words that I can best describe the Pod Hotel. My high school friend and I decided to explore New York on our own for the first time. It took a lot of convincing before we were able to let our parents allow us. Since we don’t have a big budget, we decided to book a hotel at the trendy Pod Hotel which is located at the 51st Street in NYC. My friend and I chose to stay at the Pod Bunk because it is really affordable and we can use our money more on sightseeing and shopping. The room has a cool design and very comfortable. It also has Wi-Fi making it easier for me to get in touch with my parents and friends. I was pleased with the shared bathrooms because they are kept clean all the time by the hotel staff and there is even music inside making bath time more fun. Exploring the city was really easy since there are lots of famous attractions near the Pod Hotel. We even had our pics taken planking at the Empire State Building and Times Square which is really funny. There are also lots of boutiques and restaurants near the hotel which makes it easier for us to shop for souvenirs and eat whatever we like. The hotel offers cool hangout places like the cozy lounge, outdoor café and rooftop garden. We actually met some cute Aussie guys who were also staying at Pod Hotel by using the Pod community. Hanging out with them was so much fun. Thanks to Pod Hotel, I end up having my dream boyfriend.

Cute little hotel

I enjoyed my stay at the Pod. Must admit I was in and out. Use it to sleep and shower basically. I had the Bunk. My room was very convenient - across was the shower and the toilet. Didn't have to walk down the hall. Also the stairs were across from my room. The elevator was very slow so I used the stairs going and coming. The room is very small but big enough for me. I rarely stayed in it was it was perfect. Don't think I would have wanted a visitor for any length of time though. Too close. The bed was very comfortable and it had a hanging TV over the bed, that I thought was neat. I didn't need the air conditioner because the room had the perfect temperature for me, not hot, not cold just perfectly comfortable. The only minus for me would be that the toilet room didn't have a sink so you would have to go back to your room to wash your hands. I had a great experience at the Pod and would stay again. Next time I'll take handiwipes to keep from having to go back to my room to wash my hands when I'm on my way out to have some fun.
