Great stay and great location. Amazing front desk staff
1.5 / 5.0
We stayed for two nights. We realized when we went to bed that the bathroom door did not stay shut when you went to the bathroom it kept sliding open. We had a queen size bed, light on the right side did not turn on and the light on the left side could not be shut off. after a big day in New York we were too tired to go down complain or change for a new room.
In the middle of the night, actually at 5:20 the fire alarm went off and we started getting ready to go downstairs as we were on the 20th floor we didn’t have any time to waste! when we got to the elevator the alarm went off but went on again. After about 10 minutes the loud speaker went on to let us know that it was a false alarm. The next morning, nobody in the hotel brought it up and when we asked what happened Ithey didn’t really know. They just said they were sorry it was just a mistake. as we were leaving the next morning I asked to speak with a manager, but he never made it before my ride had arrived. So I never got a chance to talk to him. I think they said his name was Sean. So I’ll in all I cannot say it was the best day we had in New York. So you know we have been coming to New York for at least five times over the last 10 years.

The entrance is a bit hard to find without obvious signage.
The check in was easy. A request to wave the resort/facilities fee was denied. I didn't use any of their facilities other the room to sleep and I had already played an obnoxiously high price by reserving several weeks in advance.
The room is small, about the size of a very small single dorm room. There was a bunk bed with a ladder which took much of the floor space; once removed and placed in a corner, there was room to maneuver.
There was a small desk surface and a metal straight chair. A USB socket was found on the back of the clock. It was not a space conducive to working on.
The sink and toilet were in a space reminiscent of the lav on an Airbus 320. Surprisingly, the shower was much larger than would have been expected which seemed odd. The warmth of the water was not great in the morning.
The towels had an unpleasant chemical odor.
There was a TV at the foot of each bed on the bunk. Neither could be used because the remote was inoperable.
Inexplicably, the wall if each bunk had 4 power outlets.
The bedding was much more comfortable than expected.
The room was full of sharp cornered metal furnishings.
There was a nice bar/lounge area. The bartender was dressed like my neighbor when we watch hockey on TV...barkeeps at Holiday Inns in Akron dress better.
The Pod would have been acceptable at a price point $150 less...at $300, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Was heading into the city for a celebratory dinner, but it's the holidays in NYC. Most hotels were super high-priced. This one was relatively inexpensive.
Room was small, but we were only there for one night. Beds were not super comfortable, but served its purpose. Stayed in a Room (Full Pod).
I wouldn't lounge around in these rooms all day, but they were a clean, reasonably comfortable place to get changed for dinner and spend the night. Right near Times Square too.
I would stay here again, just not for an extended stay (at least not in the room type we stayed in).

Great location, well kept rooms, good lobby area and bar. Mattress was a bit worn. But loved the hotel.

I liked this hotel a lot. Rooms are functionally decorated, and had all the conveniences that I needed. The room was clean and tidy and it was cleaned regularly. The reception staff were helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. It is very well located and the train stations, buses (and airports) are all easily accessed. For example, Times square is a short walk away.

Was convenient and fine
1.5 / 5.0
It is cheaper and convenient but come on, a "resort fee"? There's not even a gym. Even though sheets and towels are clean, there is a smell on the bed that someone slept there with dirty hair/body and has permeated the mattress.

This was a birthday gift to our two adult kids to see NYC for a week. The location was convenient & affordable and we felt safe the entire time. The room itself is cozy (tiny) but that's fairly standard for NYC. We didn't hear sounds from other rooms, and the room was given a light cleaning each day. It had a safe that worked well, and the AC worked just fine. The queen bed was mainly comfortable but the edge seemed a little squashed. The USB port plugs by the desk weren't working but others in the room did. Overall I'd recommend this hotel.

Cool and clean, nice bar. Beware of weekends. They double the room charge without any warning but I guess all NY hotels do that nowadays

The only bad thing i can say is. They need ice machine and small fridge. Everything else was great. I would definitely recommend.

Very comfortable small space. Glass-enclosed bathroom. Bed was a little firm for me. I could have used a tutorial on the shower because getting it to really warm up required pressing a hidden button.

Beds were hard as a rock; rooms cramped location was great. Only thing different that sleeping on the street was a roof and ac. If you're looking for comfort look elsewhere

Clean, small, great view, no iron but had blow-dryer. Minimalism but it works. Bar was fun. Like a hostel. A lot of college aged kids.

The pod is in a great location. It's very close to everything. The room was small, but worked great for what I needed. The rooms were super clean and it was very comfortable. I'll stay again when visiting New York city

I've stayed at this hotel for many business trips to NY. It affordable, comfortable, and clean. The staff always helpful. I would not recommended the restaurant on site but there are a myriad of restaurant choices in the immediate area. If you're on your own, go for the bunk bed room as its setup os the most efficient.

Ok for the money. Would have appreciated a fridge in room or at least ice machine on floor. Good location.
1.0 / 5.0
For the cost of this stay you would expect more. Yes, I understand it’s a micro hotel, but to have the shower completely clogged and needing to be snaked our first night was not a great start. Having the bathroom sink clogged and not fixed was also not ideal. The bed frame was broken and forced the bed to tilt down to the left. The TV didn’t work with the remote only able to lower the volume but not change any channels. The toilet ran constantly as well.

Very small - which we expected and would’ve been fine. But the bed was definitely not a queen bed and it was hard as a rock.
1.5 / 5.0
The room was tiny, so tiny we had to use the table to put our luggage on it. Bathroom was nice, all clean. Unfortunatly nobody cleaned our room, even after bagging and asking at the fromt desc, nothing happend, for this price we paid for this room thats a no go! 3 days of 8 someone cleaned the room. We got refunded a poor amount of the facilitiy fees which is more a laugh in your face for 45$.
The Location of the hotel is not the best Choice because at that part of times Square weird people are around especially at evening/night, it was still safe but unconfortable.
We are very disappointed of the service of this hotel, for that price

Stay was nice. I’ve always appreciated convenience and no nonsense hotel. I have to say that having a nice restaurant and function common terrace would improve experience. L
2.5 / 5.0
This hotel is perfect for those that travel light and just need a place to rest in comfort. The beds are comfortable and the location is perfect. Right in the middle of Manhattan. The subway is 1.5 very close and so is the NY NJ Port Authority bus station. A variety of restaurants and Broadway shows are within a 5 to 10 minute walk.
