סה"כ היה אחלה
Pros:

החדר היה נקי, צוות הניקיון היה מעולה

Cons:

חדר מאד קטן, למרות שראיתי שיש חדרים יותר מרווחים. כשאתה מגיע ל11 לילות, הייתי מצפה לתת חדר יותר מרווח

It’s OK for an In-N-Out no frills stay.
Pros:

The location was good for walking to get things you might need and they kept the shared bathroom reasonably clean

Cons:

The room was smaller than the picture indicated, and there was no free breakfast for the price you have to pay to stay there.

Compact, but wonderful & welcoming! Edward, Zenu and Garyenne are the real stars of the show @ Pod51
Pros:

Edward, Garyenne & Zenu made me feel right at home, safe as a female traveller and like i was part of the family. Edward greeted me every time i walked in with a tall glass of ice water as it was so hot whilst i was in New York. The hotel was clean and everyone was friendly and welcoming. And yes, although the room was small, compact and kinda like a cruise ship room it was comfortable and secure. It's also super central to all the sights of NYC. I would stay again for sure!

Il personale, estremamente,qualificato, accogliente gentile,premuroso e disponibile ad ogni ora.
( marco il portinaio mi ha salvato chiamandomi taxi a qualsiasi ora del giorno possibile ed immaginabile)

Cons:

Rivedrei la pulizia e le info della prenotazione delle stanze, essere più specifici su che tipo di camera ti danno.
