The hotel was good for the money, given it was in Midtown. It was well located to lots of metro stops and a shortish walk to times square and other tourist destinations. There were lots of great restaurants and cafes within a few blocks of the hotel, all were great places to eat for breakfast or lunch/dinner. The room was very small without a proper bathroom. The hotel had few amenities but we spent our time out anyway. The aircon in the room was ineffective and loud.

I stayed at POD WILLIAMSBURG more than once and i always loved it, this time i decided to stay at POD 51 but it has not been the same at all. Same concept for sure but the structure is pretty old, even with the windows closed you can heard everything from outside, i was at 2nd floor and i could smell weed from the outside even the windows were closed. I felt the room was a little bit dirty, during the night there was a strong noise from the heater that i couldn't sleep. I will never go back there. Location is prime, i have to say that.

I thought the teeny, efficient room was perfect, since my time spent in the city is out & about all the time & the room is just for sleeping & showering. The location is perfect; far enough from the tourist hubs, close to subway stops & nice to walk as well, with plenty of breakfast spots close by. The rooms are absolutely showing some age, but still very decent shape. My only caveat & something a little concerning was the complete lack of security. The doors to the hotel are open 24/7 & the person at the front desk barely noted me returning late night, if at all & honestly wouldn't have known if I had a room there, or not. It wasn't an issue thankfully, but I think it's something the hotel should address.
