Had an amazing stay at the Pod in Brooklyn! Me and my friend were originally gonna stay in a different hotel, but that hotel cancelled our reservation at the last minute without notifying us so we were stranded in NYC in the middle of the night. Luckily, the Pod had available rooms the next day and it was such a hassle free experience with them. We even got to check in early which was much appreciated after a long night. Super friendly staff at the front desk. We stayed in a bunk bed room and that worked better than I expected. The beds were comfy and even the pillows were good, which I’m very picky about. The room was small and the shower was in the same little nook as the toilet which looks a bit strange, but works very well anyway. The rooms are clean, and you do have to let the front desk know when you want it cleaned. The only negative about this was that we did let them know two days in a row and nothing happened. But all in all, we had a great stay anyway so I’m not gonna let that affect this review in a major way.
The neighborhood is amazing. Tons of bars and restaurants around and close to several different train stops, such as Bedford Av (L train) Metropolitan Av (G and L train) and Marcy Av (J and Z train). Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean and convenient hotel (that also has a nice rooftop and bar downstairs!). I’m definitely staying here again.
