My experience at Pod 51 was disappointing. The front desk staff was unwelcoming and made no accommodations for early check-in, which was frustrating as an out-of-towner. Despite multiple requests, towels were never delivered to our room, and they didn’t provide small face towels at all. The only positive interaction was with the man who kindly held our bags until check-in. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff gave off a negative and, frankly, unwelcoming vibe. I can’t help but feel there was some racial bias in how we were treated. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location, but I wouldn’t stay here again I stayed at Pod 51 and while the location is fantastic, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. I booked a room with a shared bathroom — which was fine — but the room itself didn’t feel very clean. There were noticeable hairs around the sink, which was off-putting. The biggest issue was the heating. The system felt very outdated, and despite calling to have it turned on, it never worked. I ended up freezing all night. They brought me extra blankets, but it wasn’t enough, and I barely slept. Unfortunately, due to the lack of cleanliness and the heating issues, I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Shared bathrooms are secure and plentiful, although sometimes oddly shaped. That's uniquely NYC, which I love and miss about my home city of 22 years. No need to worry about strangers entering bathrooms. Use is by key card and availability, similar to guest rooms. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Building is aging but still in great repair.
