Pod 51

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying at POD 51! I can’t say enough great things about this hotel! The staff is amazing, the location is wonderful, and affordable parking is available just one block up next to a Police station and Fire Station. The room was cozy and quiet. It was the perfect location for most of the activities we had planned. This is my hotel of choice when in NYC! Will definitely be back!"

OYO Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean but very tight space around the beds. Not alot of space to walk around. Staff was friendly. Vending machine took my money, had to go out front to vender and get drink. Hotel was clean, air conditioning worked great! Time square is right down street. Dunkin’ is right across the street, that was a plus! Went and got pumpkin spice latte every morning!"
