I needed a relatively inexpensive room for the night that didn't compromise safety and cleanliness. This room was very comfortable, well appointed (I hadn't expected a coffeemaker, a microwave, and refrigerator). The bathroom was MUCH bigger than I'd expected. Had I known it had a jacuzzi tub, I would have brought some bath salts!

A delightful artistic vibe in rooms. Cozy and clean. Not much shelf space in bathroom but that’s not a dealbreaker. 😊

Loved everything about our stay at the Broadway Plaza Hotel. Front desk staff was incredibly nice and helpful as were their two security/doormen. Hotel was nice, room was clean and spacious for our family of 6, beds were very comfortable, and it was located in a very good location. Subway and restaurants were within walking distance, area is busy day and night but we slept without any disturbances. Highly recommend and look forward to our next stay here!

My stay was amazing. I left my DnD on my door the whole visit, I’m very low maintenance and don’t require too much. I poked my head out when I heard housekeeping and swapped out my towels for clean ones. The woman who assisted me was super sweet! She offered me another bottle of water and a box of tissues. I had great experiences with a younger black man with braids, he had a great personality and positive energy, I would smile as soon as I saw him. He also grabbed a trashbag for me, there were...

We loved our stay! It is such a convenient location to all that New York has to offer in Midtown. The staff was so helpful and everything we needed was always provided. Very comfortable and more room than we expected in the city!

I'm a regular at Pod 39 when I come to NYC by myself. It's very minimalist and if I was planning to spend more time in my room, I'd go elsewhere, but exactly what I need when I'm in the city to see shows and check out some exhibitions. Always clean and my room is always ready when I arrive (which has not been my experience at other NYC hotels).
