Overview

Right in the middle of Manhattan, the Pod Hotels Time Square represents the cutting edge in accommodations for the modern age. Each pod is a room focused on a minimalist, yet fully engaging hospitality experience. Guests are able to integrate their lives with the pod experience seamlessly without having to worry about some of the extraneous amenities that end up costing more money in the long run. It’s streamlined comfort at its best.

The apartments are furnished and can be used for either short stays or extended stays . Each pod comes fully equipped with a kitchen and a dining table. There is also a living room that allows guests to entertain visitors and have a space to relax.

When it’s time to grab some relaxation, guests have the option of kicking back in the indoor/outdoor lounge. This is equipped with panoramic views offering a view of the phenomenon that is New York City.

There is also a well-appointed gym for exercise at the end of—or the start of—a busy day. For convenience, there is a self-serve laundry room. This enables guests to take care of their laundry without having to venture through the city to do so or hire an expensive laundry service.

The Pod Hotels features The Polynesian, a chic restaurant, a real Tiki bar, and the exotic drinks you would expect, presented with the kind of flare for which Manhattan is known.

The Pod Hotels Times Square gives guests the chance to experience the next movement in hospitality.

The hotel needs a better lobby area where you can sit down and congregate for a brief time when needed. Staff was exceptionally friendly.

Cons (-) My stay was prepaid. However, at check-in, I was charged another $50 for "property use fee" :-( . Other than that, the hotel met my expectations and staff was nice. I would stay again :-)
