Pros:

L’emplacement de cet hôtel est idéal, proche du grand terminal pour les lignes de métro tout en restant dans un quartier calme. Le personnel est très accueillant avec la possibilité de faire des visites guidées gratuites le matin. Un bar restaurant est disponible en bas de l’hôtel. Un service de bagagerie gratuit nous a permit de laisser nos valises la journée pour notre dernier jour.

Cons:

Les fenêtres des chambres ne sont pas très bien isolés.

A hidden gem - Pod 39 provides a comfortable retreat from Midtown New York City's hustle and bustle
Pros:

The staff is consistently professional and helpful. They exuded hospitality. I felt personally welcomed each time I returned to the Pod 39 lobby.
The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Comfort was less than excellent to the extent that it was hard to maneuver getting in and out of the shower. It's a reasonable compromise.
The room is very efficiently laid out, which meant that I had to walk sideways to get around the bed to the bathroom.
The fixed rainfall shower made washing my armpits a challenge.
One of the managers, Jenae, followed up on one of the concerns I raised. That was very professional and thoughtful.

Uma estadia tranquila
Pros:

Excelente loclização, próximo a vários pontos turísticos e meios de transporte. Quarto pequeno mas bem funcional. Bar com opções simples mas deliciosas de café da manhã. Você pode deixar a mala guardada antes do check-in e depois do checkout.

Cons:

Realmente o quarto com banheiro é bem pequeno, a minha cama era de casal mas ainda bem que eu estava só, pois sendo 2 pessoas seria impossível de se mexer dentro do quarto com malas e tudo mais, mas pra uma pessoa está perfeito.
