I have stayed at many pods but POD 51 is so small. They do not provide an Iron. They do not provide washcloths in the room, you must go to the Front desk and request one! Not sure what they expect you to wash you A-S with. The Front desk staff is amazing, the overnight Security Guard needs to clean himself up! The housekeepers are wonderful. I will never stay here again

The staff are incredibly friendly! We booked a room for two and it was quite cramped inside however the location of the hotel is situated in a great area that’s convenient to get to many places, including various subway stations.

Super basic stay
This was my fourth or fifth time staying here over the past 10 years. The quality of the hotel has gone way down in that time. Everything is very clean and safe, it’s just starting to show its age. The walls are thin so you will hear every door in the hallway opening and closing. The mattresses are not comfortable. There is no ventilation in the shared bathrooms so they can be very stuffy. It’s just clear that no investment is being made to keep the property up which is a shame because it used to be really nice.
