Our take
Pod 51 is about smart, compact rooms and good shared spaces: a rooftop deck with city views, a cafe, a bar and a fitness center, with parking and a pet-friendly policy. Midtown sights are within walking distance. An 8.2 score from 4,004 reviews confirms it delivers on that promise. I recommend it to couples and solo travellers; families needing room to spread out should book something larger.
- Head straight to the rooftop deck for sunset views, it's a fantastic spot to relax.
- Consider bringing your pet along, as the hotel is genuinely welcoming to furry friends.
- Utilise the nearby subway station at Lexington Av/53 St for easy access to other parts of the city.
