    Cool view!
    Toni T.

    The Pod Hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of Port Authority and Penn Station/Moynahan Hall. The entrance is one elevator up to the lobby, then a second elevator to the rooms so it felt safe and secure. It's comfortable enough, with efficiently designed and very industrial feeling guest rooms. We had no closet, just hooks and a clothing rack on the wall. Like most hotels in the City, there isn't a square inch of space more than necessary in the room. To create more of a send of space, the shower has a glass wall (opaque enough not to be seen through) behind which (entered through one of those sliding barn doors) the toilet also sits. While as far as possible from and not visible to any other guest in the room, it's sadly not sound proofed, likely because of that glass wall. The room we stayed in also wasn't well sound proofed, so hall noise came through loud and clear. The view from our room window (the window could be opened, yay!) was a bit industrial too, with a network of highway in the foreground and a nice city scape just beyond. I loved that! (see the picture) There's a bar/restaurant to the left of the hotel reception desk - not the one listed in the elevator as being there by the way - called Bar 42 (in the evening) or Cafe 42 (breakfast and maybe lunch). The cocktails were quite good! We didn't try the food. The hotel advertises daily walking tours and other things of interest on the chalkboard column between reception and the restaurant. Check in and out were easy and we had no problem leaving bags so we could walk around unencumbered after checkout. There were two separate places to sit and wait for the last half hour too. All in all, this was a no frills but but comfortable enough, and really convenient, place for us to stay. It was a quick subway ride to the museums & theatre we were in NYC to enjoy.

    Why a 5 star when the Yelp average is 3.5 you ask? Let me tell you... Sure, you could go down the street and stay at the Ritz Carlton for two grand a night and, sure, that would put this to shame. But you're getting this place for pennies on the dollar compared to that. The value and quality here are what make it a true 5 star. I spent maybe one waking hour in the room outside of sleep. I don't need the Ritz. Give me a clean and modern spot in a perfect location. The rooms are small, but totally fine for a quick break from the city or a solid night's sleep. My room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, WiFi was fast, TV worked great, and the city view was beautiful. Times Square never sleeps, and I expected some noise. None. Zero. There are more expensive hotels nearby that actually hand out earplugs. I'd never stay somewhere that needs to do that. The staff here were all friendly and helpful, all six elevators ran smoothly, and the place was safe and secure. The hotel lounge was upscale and comfortable, perfect for relaxing with a drink before heading out. What more can you ask for, especially for this kind of price right in the heart of Times Square?

    Stayed 1 night at Pod Times Square. The hotel is cute has a bar/restaurant to the far left of entering the lobby. The rooms are basically a bed and a small bathroom. Do not expect anything spacious but it was a comfortable 1 night stay. They offer free daily ( 6 days a week) walking tours.

    Bathroom and shower have a frosted glass wall, not much privacy if you're sharing the room

    Thoroughly enjoyed my 6-night stay here. They are totally transparent about the size of their rooms, which don't seem that much smaller than other tiny NYC hotel rooms. Big windows and a nice view. It felt like a calming escape in the busy city. Pros: - smartly designed with hooks and storage - spotlessly clean - good quality cozy pillows and towels - quiet (did not hear neighbors) - well functioning AC - decent size bathroom and big walk-in shower - good location in midtown, easy walk to everything or access to transit - good WiFi - bar on site and a lovely loungy seating area - inexpensive compared to other hotels in the area Considerations: - bathroom and shower have a frosted glass wall, not much privacy if you're sharing the room - you have to take 2 different elevators to get to/from the street to the lobby to your room and there's often a wait - totally fine for one person, could be crowded for 2

    it kind of gives dorm room - very practical room with bare basics but perfect for visitors/travelers! i had a bunk bed room and it did exactly what i needed it to do - hot shower and comfy bed. i liked how each bed had their own TV (but sometimes one remote would control both TV's). Negatives: our bathroom door didnt close and the shower curtain did not do a great job keeping the water so our bathroom floor was always really wet. Highlight of this hotel was def the staff!! Front desk was so nice and really went above and beyond with their customer service. my friend checked in on a diff day and they were able to get her the room next door to me. also shoutout victor the bartender! nice guy

    A very reasonably priced hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan but close enough to walk to any of the tourist attractions. Also a short distance to many transportation hubs. Clean lobby area, friendly staff, clean rooms that are checked on daily by the staff. Yes, it is a small space, but it advertised as such. It was the perfect room for me and my daughter. Checking out all the tourist attractions during the day, and resting our tired bodies at night. Perfect for anyone on a tighter budget. Only thing I wish they had was a mini fridge in the bunk rooms, I believe the full desk is not needed.

    Pod Times Square was a great value. Super affordable stay right in the middle of NYC. We saw a Broadway show, so we wanted to be within walking distance of the theatres. Our room was clean and convenient; the front desk staff were super helpful, too. I know there are complaints about the size of the rooms, but that's literally the point! They're supposed to be small, so you can stay at cheaper rate. If you're in the city to go out and don't plan to be in the room the whole time, this is a great option. Just pretend you're at summer camp staying in bunk beds!

    I took an overnight trip to NYC for a concert at MSG and somehow found this little gem of a place while searching the Internet. Location 5/5 Pod Times Square is conveniently located on 42nd and 9th, just a 10 minute walk from Moynihan Train Station and an even shorter walk to Port Authority. Times Square is only a block away, yet the area immediately around the hotel is relatively quiet in comparison to that bustling hustle! Plenty of amenities all around, too! Service 5/5 I arrived at Pod about an hour and a half before my scheduled check-in time, thinking I would only be dropping off my suitcase, but the front desk receptionist happily offered to check me into my room early, which was awesome. Everyone I encountered throughout my stay was friendly and hospitable. Hotel 5/5 I'd like to note here that Pod is not a huge, luxurious hotel with roomy guest quarters, as the name would imply. I chose a bunk room, which, as you would imagine, had bunk beds. The room was compact, yet comfortable for one person, and had all of the amenities one would need for a comfortable and affordable place to sleep for a night or two. I will definitely consider Pod on future trips to NYC.

    I want to start by saying that Engineering (Ralph) and the night shift front desk staff provided fantastic customer service. Unfortunately, the situation itself was extremely serious and could have ended much worse. I was staying in a bunk room and placed my necklace and phone on the shelf before going to sleep, something I had been doing regularly. Around 12:00 AM, a spark suddenly flew out from that area and nearly hit my face it luckily only hit my leg. At first, we thought it might have been a one-time incident, but between 12:30-1:00 AM, it continued to spark multiple times. It burned the sheet, and there was a strong smell of something burning. The burn marks were exactly where I would have been laying if I had been asleep, which is very concerning. We called downstairs, and the night front desk was extremely helpful and quickly sent engineering up. Ralph arrived promptly and witnessed the sparks himself, even experiencing them firsthand. After assessing the situation, he confirmed we needed to change rooms around 1:30 AM. When we went downstairs, the night shift front desk contacted the hotel manager, who was also very helpful. We were told that two nights would be comped and that we would be upgraded the following morning between 11:00 AM-12:00 PM. However, the experience the next day with SHAWN and SHAWNA was completely different. They were unhelpful and had an attitude throughout the interaction. We were unable to receive the rooms we were promised, and we were told to leave our belongings downstairs while waiting. I was not comfortable doing that, especially since we had already checked in on time to avoid this exact situation. We were placed in a temporary room just to change and get ready, but were told not to lay on the bed so it wouldn't be "messed up" for the next guests. We are now left waiting for another room to become available, with no clear resolution, despite being told otherwise. This situation could have turned into something far more serious, including a possible fire or serious injury. While I truly appreciate the professionalism and urgency from the night staff and engineering, the lack of follow through and poor customer service from the daytime staff was disappointing and frustrating.

Friends thought we were a lil crazy for bringing two kids to Manhattan, but it ended up being such a special trip for us, and the Park Hyatt was a huge part of that. The hotel is beautiful, from the gorgeous floral arrangements throughout the property to the calm, elegant atmosphere. Our room was incredibly spacious, which felt like a true luxury in New York, especially with a stroller, luggage, SNOO and everything that comes with traveling with a newborn. Having that extra space made the entire trip feel easier. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the indoor pool. We took the boys swimming almost every night, and it became our little ritual. They loved it, and those evening swims are still some of my favorite memories from that trip. The location was perfect for a family stay. We walked to Central Park, FAO Schwarz, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Columbus Circle, and so many nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Being able to explore for a few hours, come back to the hotel to rest, and then head back out again made New York feel surprisingly easy. Now, two years later, our boys are older and we're planning another New York trip. I've been looking at hotels, but I keep coming back to the Park Hyatt because of how special that first stay was for our family. It would be pretty amazing to bring the boys back, let them swim in that pool again, and experience the hotel at a different stage of their childhood. The Park Hyatt will always have a special place in our family's New York memories.

I had booked the majority of my trip at another hotel, but I needed an extra night and used Marriott points for this stay. Overall, I thought it was a great place to stay. The location was very central, but it was not in the most crowded part of Times Square which I appreciated. It was a little hard to find at first because of nearby construction, but once I arrived, everything felt convenient and easy to access. The staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful during check-in. I arrived around 1:00 PM, and my room was not ready yet, but once it was available, staff members were helping guests check in using the computers. The hotel has a very modern, tech-forward feel. The room included an iPad that controlled the lights, colors, and other settings, which gave the space a futuristic vibe. The room itself was very clean and felt pretty spacious for a New York hotel. The sheets and bathroom were clean, and I felt like I had everything I needed for a short stay. I also felt like it was a good value. I used about 58,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for the night, and New York hotels can easily run anywhere from about $200 to $500 per night depending on the date. Since I stayed on a weekday, that may have helped with the overall value. The next day, relocating to my other hotel was simple because the area was so central. As a Gold member, I also received late checkout, although I ended up leaving earlier than I needed to. The only thing that stood out was hearing another guest complain about the staff, which surprised me because my own experience had been very positive.

For this Marriott the location is excellent if you are going to watch a show on Broadway. Very convenient for the play and also get a subway to anywhere else you have to go. The rooms are generally very nice and this hotel also has everything connected and controlled through a tablet which is very appealing to me. They also have a nice bar right in the hotel that is open till late. The only downside is the size. Now hotels in major cities like this like New York or Tokyo are small and pricey. Two things that can sort of negatively affect your opinion but considering they are all like that in the area, you have to compare accordingly. The only real downside for me is that the toilet is literally next to to the shower to the point that you could shower while using the toilet (I took a picture of my hand holding the shower handle on top of the toilet seat as a joke) and the sink is outside to wash your hands after using the restroom. I feel that they could have done a better design for this to avoid it. It didn't appeal to me and it's the only thing keeping me from giving this hotel 5 stars. I will probably stay here again when I go to watch another play.

You enter on the first floor, but the lobby is on the sixth floor. I was having flashbacks to Tokyo... There are four elevators, and when I checked in, the place was packed. Some event must have been going on because getting an elevator was an adventure (a sad one). It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C. I'd get warm, the air would finally kick on, I'd be comfortable for about ten minutes...then the cycle would repeat all night. Another thing that caught me off guard was the ceiling.

The last two rooms I have stayed in have had tearing or broken shades, dirty carpets, and worn down bathrooms. Also, getting a cab is a pain and the bellmen are not that helpful. Last time I had to take matters into my own hands and get one myself. Annoying. I'm also not 100% sure this is the most secure hotel at night.

    This is a bustling hotel with a large lobby. I visited for a conference. The hotel has a couple of…read moreexits, but the main entrance is on 6th avenue. All the meeting rooms were clean and organized. We had over 1,000 conference attendees and needed ample space and everything went pretty smoothly. Temperature control was generally good, but got a tiny bit chilly at certain points of the day. The staff were extremely prompt with setting up and removing catering food, but were not the friendliest. They have a free standing pumping station for those that need it. It was easy to access and decently clean, but could've used a wipe down by the second day. They provided a mini fridge in one of the meeting rooms for storage.

    AVOID AVOID AVOID! DO NOT BOOK HERE!…read more I came here around April for a work trip and no where on the reservation page did it say that the hotel was under construction. They also offered the price including breakfast. Arrived at the hotel and saw that they only had one working elevator for a hotel that was over 20 floors high. There was a line for the elevator that you had to wait for at least 20 minutes to take. I asked the about the breakfast and they said the restaurant was closed so no hot breakfast. Why is this hotel offering a room rate price with breakfast when there is no restaurant for breakfast?! They told me they had bagged breakfast, which was always gone and coffee was all gone too. Took over 10 minutes to wait for new coffee to arrive. Renovation work bright and early at 8am. I was offered loyalty points for compensation by the manager, Delanie, and these points never showed up. I was also mistakenly charged for drinking their water bottles when I didn't even touch those bottles. They never even told me that I was going to be charged after checking out. I just saw a random extra charge on my credit card. The manager, Delanie, had said this would be refunded, but never saw this refund come through just like the loyalty points.
