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!"
