Great location
Amazing hotel with outdoor space
Would benefit to have little community kitchen and fridge in order to eat leftover from restaurant of little breakfast bought at the groceries and a coffee machine in the room
Very comfortable and clean
A great no nonsense room yet comfortable and in a safe area. Small room but bed was comfortable, pillows were nice, towels were nice and they had nice toiletries-shampoo body wash and conditioner. Hair dryer too. Great location. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat
This is a solid affordable hotel in a really great location. While the room was small and the bathroom was shared and down the hall, it was also quiet and comfortable and staff were helpful. We also enjoyed hanging out in the common area near the coffee shop on the ground floor and at the picnic tables outside.
The location is an easy walk to Central Park or Times Square and there are many good and affordable restaurants nearby. You can also catch the subway just a couple of blocks away.

Great customer service and convenient location. Will definitely book again
This hotel was great. The rooms are a little small, but my wife and I were exploring all day so the space was perfect just to come back and rest. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a great area that makes walking to sites easy. The rooftop view is awesome, a nice cherry on top of everything.
My stay at pod fifty one was great.The restrooms were clean and the staff was very nice.I would definitely go back again for another visit.At pot fifty one, and I recommend it to anyone who's visiting new york city.It is a great place.
What a great hotel! Would definitely stay again. We got a room with a private bath, and the price was still very affordable compared to anything else we could find in the area. The rooms are small, but very well maintained. The shared baths are still private rooms, just shared with the rest of the floor (rather than communal-style baths shared with multiple people at once) which we thought was great. The property boasts a rooftop deck with great views, a cozy garden space, an in-house cafe, and an attached restaurant.
