POD TIMES SQUARE, New York

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Times Square and within easy walking distance of Broadway theaters, Restaurant Row (4 blocks away), Bryant Park, and Chelsea. It is 1-2 blocks from the Port Authority Bus Terminal, with subway stations and bus stops at the door for direct connections to LaGuardia (10 km away), Newark Airport, and other city destinations. The West Side Highway is easily accessible for drivers, and a Citi Bike station is directly outside the building. While central and highly walkable for sightseeing, the immediate area includes typically busy street activity.

The hotel offers private double rooms with one full-size bed or twin rooms with two beds, as well as bunk-bed rooms with two single bunks. Standard rooms are small (around 12 m²), so they suit travelers who plan to spend most of their time outside. Each room has a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer; some rooms offer city skyline views. Bunk-bed rooms include separate TVs at each bed. Queens rooms are also available for larger bedding. For longer stays or those wanting more space, the Pod Pads (apartment-style rooms on the 23rd-27th floors) feature full kitchens, separate bedrooms, custom millwork, and river views from floor-to-ceiling windows. All rooms have soundproofed windows and are quiet enough for sleeping.

The hotel's restaurant is currently open for dinner only and does not serve breakfast. The bar area offers dining and cocktails in an attractive setting. Guests looking for morning meals will find many cafés, delis, and pizza shops within a short walk-including Westway Diner, 99 Cents Fresh Pizza, and Capizzi, all about a 3-minute walk away. Room drink-making facilities are not standard, but guests can request a kettle. A Target supermarket a 5-minute walk away provides supplies.

Complimentary walking tours are organized by the hotel, helping guests explore the city with a guide. The rooftop terrace and outdoor social spaces have sometimes been closed for maintenance, so confirm availability before planning around them. There is no pool, spa, or fitness center on site.

Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout. The 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage before check-in and after checkout until 11 pm. A concierge desk can book Broadway show tickets, bus tours, restaurants, and taxis. Housekeeping is available on request-guests must notify the front desk the day before to schedule cleaning. The hotel accepts packages for registered guests. Elevator access to guest floors requires a key card, and 24-hour security is present. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available. The check-in process requires a physical credit or debit card for the security deposit; cash is accepted for the room balance at checkout.
