We really enjoyed staying at the Pod Times Square and the bunk beds were amazing! The only thing is that we wished it was closer to Times Square, as it was a few blocks away. It was very close to pretty much all of the major subway lines and theaters, though, so that was very convenient. Walking alone at night made me a bit nervous, as there seemed to be quite a few homeless or shady people, but we didn't run into any issues. We both agree that we'd stay there again!

I spent the night at the Pod Times Square with my daughter as part of her finishing elementary celebration. The hotel was very cool and funky! Superbly clean and the staff were very accommodating. My daughter loved the individually wrapped Swedish fish at the front desk. The bellhop gave us several Pod emergency ponchos to carry around with us as the day started off cloudy and drizzly. The hotel also offers free walking tours which we weren’t able to take advantage of. My ONLY criticism is that the beds were comfy but the pillows were cheap and lumpy. Also the shower curtain smelled a little mildewy until I showered (but I am very sensitive to mildew smells).
