Mid-Atlantic Cheap Vacations

The rooms are not the smallest I've stayed in Manhattan, but pretty close. They call their rooms "cabins", and I can see now why. Charged us $3 per bag to stow for a few hours and $60 to check in an hour early. Hotel is close to the piers which is what we wanted, and we were able to walk to Carnegie's diner for lunch and Birdland for dinner. Okay place to stay if you're taking a cruise the next day. But $395 is still pretty steep.

The couch in the room was gross. It was a black couch and it had lots of stains on it. Considering it’s a hotel, we could only imagine what the stains could be… yuck! Other than that, great location!!

I've stayed at Pod 51 several times and appreciate the fact that it provides exactly what I need—an affordable clean room and a comfortable bed to lay down on the few hours that I am in the room. I am usually in NYC for work, and am spending long hours at the office or catching up with colleagues over dinner. I do prefer one of the inner rooms (tends to be a little quieter), over street side, but its NYC. And thank you to the staff for making check-in and -out a friendly experience.

Nice and clean. Very basic.

Room was small but I expected that. Clean and had all the necessities. Good AC, nice bathroom, comfortable enough bed to sleep in. No complaints overall. Great value for price. Restaurant in the hotel was also good. Friendly staff gave me recommendations for dinner. Rooftop bar was awesome to do some remote work at while enjoying the view. Walkable to a lot of popular spots. Easy access to train and bus for any longer travels.
