First time in a pod - good experience and would repeat. Not much of a kitchen and the reception desk person did not seem to be well suited for a customer service oriented job. Otherwise all good.

First time podder
For one night on a solo trip this was fantastic! Make sure you get a bottom one though if you’re prone to using the bathroom throughout the night.
