Solid place for a short stay
Great location, near Grand Central Station. The rooms are tiny, which I knew. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean. The single bed was small - would've been too small if I were 6' or taller.

Nice hotel in Midtown East
The Pod 39 was an excellent choice, and I really enjoyed the coziness of the room for my two nights stay. The rainfall shower was amazing, and the room was well lit. All staff were nice and friendly, and the halls were very quiet.

Great stay!
Great experience experience overall and certainly good value for money. The only thing that was slightly problematic was the air conditioning kicking in when used overnight.
