Pod 39

Economic option that’s comfortable, and still feels a bit luxury. No fridge or microwave. Feels very clean and well kept. The cafe, restaurant, and rooftop are very nice and convenient amenities, plus the rooftop is one of my favorite NYC roof bars. The only downside to the room, specifically when sharing a room with a platonic friend or family member, is the bathroom. The walls to the bathroom are glass, as is the door to the bathroom, which doesn’t actually shut, it’s just a sliding door with an open gap. On top of that, the glass is frosted- but only in the middle of the panel, so the top and bottom of the walls/door are NOT frosted and completely see through. The shower is located behind one of those half frosted glass panel walls. Overall, if you’re sharing a room with someone, the bathroom doesn’t feel very private- and the room is pretty small as is- so it’s a bit awkward. However, I know these bathrooms are the norm at this hotel so I don’t expect them to redo the entire design in every room, but maybe at least in the bunk pod rooms?

My daughter (10yo) and I chose the bunk beds for her first NYC adventure. I was skeptical at first, but these were some of the most comfy beds I've slept on in a hotel! The room was perfect, no unnecessary frills, just the essentials. Everything was clean, the lounge/bar areas were nice little bonuses. The location was ideal too, only a few blocks from everything in either direction. We would not hestitate to stay here again and will definitely recommend it to friends and family.
