Right in the middle of Manhattan, the Pod Hotels Time Square represents the cutting edge in accommodations for the modern age. Each pod is a room focused on a minimalist, yet fully engaging hospitality experience. Guests are able to integrate their lives with the pod experience seamlessly without having to worry about some of the extraneous amenities that end up costing more money in the long run. It’s streamlined comfort at its best.

The apartments are furnished and can be used for either short stays or extended stays . Each pod comes fully equipped with a kitchen and a dining table. There is also a living room that allows guests to entertain visitors and have a space to relax.

The hotel needs a better lobby area where you can sit down and congregate for a brief time when needed. Staff was exceptionally friendly.

2Poor
Nancy, Nov 2022

Bed was very uncomfortable. You need to request 24 hrs in advance for your room to be cleaned ; sheets changed. Staff should have informed us about road closures during veteran’s day parade. Cost $200 US with Uber to get to airport & almost missed our flight. I was travelling with my adult daughter… location is great. 2 big blocks from Times Square. Will not stay there again . Price does not reflect value of our stay.

Cons. My stay was prepaid. However, at check-in, I was charged another $50 for "property use fee" :-( . Other than that, the hotel met my expectations and staff was nice. I would stay again :-)
