Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great time at The Pod Times Square! I was surprised at how nice the room and hotel was for the price. The Pod is at an ideal location—only minutes away from Times Square and the Port Authority subway/bus station that can get you anywhere in the city. It’s also about a 15-minute walk from Penn Station and Moynihan which is super convenient! You also have plenty of food options and stores like Target, Five Below, 7/11, Aldi, etc. close by if you need anything. The room itself was clean and a good size especially for someone traveling solo like myself. That being said, I felt very safe as a woman staying there because you need your room card to be able to reach guest floors. The Pod also holds your luggage before and after check out which I’m grateful for! The only tiny downside is that the TV in my room didn’t have cable. It only had one local news channel. Overall, I had a great experience and am already planning my next stay!"

Hotel Henri NY

8/10 Good

"First off. A HUGE shout out to Shawn & Jennifer at the front desk. They both know their industry & we’re a highlight for me. Management should listen to them about suggestions to elevate the hotel experience. I had a room w/balcony. Room was very clean. Minor things that could use attention is the sink leaked a little, wardrobe was not deep enough for clothes hangers, towels definitely need an upgrade. My safe was not working but Shawn & Jennifer did a work around by giving me the key. My digital key would not work & again Shawn gave me a workaround by providing me a code. He also told me it wasn’t happening because I’m tech challenged lol. The restaurant downstairs is great (not affiliated). If this hotel was $300 a night, for every night, I would give it more stars but weekends ran $500-$600/night and for that price I would expect better linens & in room amenities. Bed sheets kept coming undone so I don’t know if flat sheets need to be replaced or if it’s the bed making. I don’t like sheets coming undone during the night. Location is great. 5th Ave a block away. Subway close & for me, easy walking to theatre’s. Overall the things I listed are very minor.Because of Shawn & Jennifer I would come back. They are wonderful at what they do. A suggestion for hotels.com is to update your pictures. They are not accurate of the lobby & rooms. Layouts are correct but the little touches (flowers etc) in the rooms are not. Rooms are very sparse in any extra little touches."
