Really glad we chose Pod in Brooklyn. Great location, quiet (tiny!) room, clean, cool common spaces.
Pros. Location ! Price ! Comfortable
Cons. Toilet in the shower was interesting design.. But it was clean !!
Pros. The bed was amazing. It was clean and simple.
Pros. Everything was great
Pros. It's perfect for what it is. The location is great. If you're solo or a couple traveling on a budget, it's a great choice.
Pros. I like the pod concept, just need to rethink some of the interior architectural elements and layout – like the toilet being in the shower. The space really attempts to use every inch of the room which I appreciate.
Cons. There was no disclosure that the toilet was in the shower and that there's really no room in the room to be comfortable…outside of just sleeping. Because of the shower situation, we had to use the public restrooms frequently which were not well kept.
Pros. The concierge/staff had impeccable service & recommendations!
