The streets are calling....!

I have selected this property again for the third time within a few months because I very safe and at home. The staff and the complimentary coffee in the morning is a big plus as it prepares me for a day of shooting. I'm an unbarn landscape photographer and the streets of NYC is one of my favorite subjects to capture on both film and digitally.

A PERFECT LITTLE FIND IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN

POD39 is the PERFECT hotel for business travel when you are working all day and just need somewhere nice and clean to lay down and sleep at night. Bed was comfortable, shower was wonderful (included shampoo, conditioner & body wash), everything was clean and the room was cleaned daily, whether I asked for it or not. The staff was courteous, friendly, professional and just great! Especially Jenae Johnson, the Assistant Front Office Manager.

This is in a nice locations, just a couple blocks from NY Public Library, Grand Central Station, Times Square. Rooms are small with basic necessities but we didn't plan to spend much time in the room so was just fine with us. The rooftop bar has nice views, but unfortunately was never open when we were at the hotel.
