Good value. Bare bones hotel but at a good price. Very walkable to midtown and East River with ferries available. I would definitely stay here again. My one complaint is the waste of cups and paper plates in the morning restaurant. They do not recycle these products. Odd for NYC.

Everything went smoothly. Staff was there for me. My husband left his computer mouse on the bed and it was picked up by the maid who came to get the sheets. But it returned to us when we inquired at the front desk.

Nice Place to Rest
The POD is great in a pinch, the staff was great and the hotel nice, clean, and inviting. Bear in mind that POD rooms are very small, but pretty comfortable nonetheless. I would recommend giving the POD a shot.
