A wonderful stay in a unique hotel
I’m now a fan of the Pod Hotels. This is our third stay. What is impressive is how cleverly space is used with thoughtful touches that make a guest feel welcome. On the whole, you know you are getting value for your money. Pod 39 is in a good location especially for those who enjoy exploring the city on foot or by public transit or a combination of both.
We appreciated the warmth and courtesy of the staff who really wanted our stay to meet our expectations. This went a long way because in an older building little things can go awry for example, the wait for the elevator seemed long. But I also remember missing the weight of my blanket at home. The staff was quick to provide an extra one. It’s a nice option o be offered a free walking tour and free luggage storage after check out.
The other Pod hotels are new construction. But I liked the midtown location of Pod 39, so close to Grand Central and an easy stroll to the Lexington subway.
Pod hotels are not luxe but they are good value. I would recommend them highly.

Great value stay in NYC
Small, clean, efficient place to stay convenient to midtown manhattan. It is loud but what else would you expect in midtown manhattan. The location feels very safe and despite the name of the hotel, rooms are private and there is even a lounge area with water, tea and coffee in the morning. Great for the price.

I heart the Pod!
I love the value that the Pod hotels offer. A good location, great price, and rooms that while small, are brilliantly designed for comfort and convenience. Pod 39 is a few blocks from Grand Central Station so it’s easy to get to and from JFK. Plus the Murray Hill location has excellent shopping and dining. Bonus- free coffee in the morning!

Our New York Pod!
The Pod 39 is ok if you just need a place to stay and shower. The room is small,so not a lot of room to move around. The service is good. They keep the room and barhroom clean and there is always fresh towels and daily house keeping. The location is good too! Close to most major spots that we want to go. Overall, we got a good stay!

Small but clean
The Room was clean but small. The bed placement was difficult, as I kept banging my leg trying to get into it. We had a room facing the street, so it was a bit noisy.

Solid place for a short stay
Great location, near Grand Central Station. The rooms are tiny, which I knew. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean. The single bed was small - would've been too small if I were 6' or taller.
