Editorial review from Citysearch 9/30/2012

I think my secretary may have been playing a joke on me when she booked me into this hotel. The rooms are very stylish, but they are designed for families and younger crowds ? not businessmen. I got bunk beds in my room and didn?t have the faintest idea what I was supposed to do with them. Beyond that, the front desk is fairly incompetent at providing any real service ? or making recommendations for restaurants of any real value. Overall, it was disappointing. If I was 25 years old, however, I might have a different view of the hotel. more

Seemed fine 1/26/2012

My experience was ok. I mean it's hard to tell because I have heard horrible reviews and some great ones. To me it seemed ok I guess. Pros: null Cons: null more

You Get What You Pay For?Service Sucks 6/4/2011

Hotel completely dropped the ball on mailing an important and valuable item I'd inadvertently left in the room, despite the fact I stayed there six nights and had at least a dozen telephone conversations with people in housekeeping and on the front desk. Manager never returned a call despite promises. Despite instructing (and paying for) the item to be sent by FedEx, it was simply dumped in a #10 envelop and sent regular mail. Item was stolen and never reached me. I'll never stay at the Pod again. more

Great! 11/10/2010

I stayed here for a week by myself. I got a different room than I expected, but I had a bunk bed, with a tv attached to both and I had lots of room. I had a sink in my room, bathroom was in the hall but it was so clean. nothing wrong with it. there are lights on the wall above your door so you can see which bathrooms are available. I had to stay a few night longer than expected and this wasnt a problem at all. I could pay in cash or credit which was great cause at one time I only had cash left. great service, restaurant attached to it, awesome rooftop view! the only problem I had in this hotel was that my internet got blocked everytime for some stupid reason. all in all I would definitely go back here, good price for an awesome location, cause you're near to everything! I walked everywhere. If you dont wanna walk the subway is right around the corner. more

customer is always wrong 11/23/2009

There were people smoking in a room on our floor and we woke up in the morning with acrid smoke in our room and in our clothes. This is not a nice thing to wake up to if you are a non smoker. Pros: cheap Cons: bad treatment more

Wonderful experience at The Pod Hotel! 7/2/2009

My 11 y.o. son and I just returned from NYC and spent 3 nights at The Pod. What a cool place, especially if you're bringing a tween or teen on the trip. He loved everything about it and so did I . The staff is very friendly, the hotel is clean and modern throughout. I get "creeped out" very easily at hotels. Creep factor here was 0! We did a bunk room with shared bath. We were on the end of the hall and we heard NOTHING from any other rooms or the hallway. I slept very well, and I never sleep well at hotels. I'm not sure how they kept the shared baths so clean but each time we used them, the trash cans were empty, and things were cleaner than my bathroom at home. The location was terrific...a beautiful street in Midtown with an inexpensive food shop, fast food, cool restaurants, an enclosed waterfall park, subway and all that midtown has to offer within blocks of you. My total cost for 3 nights was $349, really an unbelievable value for a very nice experience. I will absolu more

GREAT SURPRISE IN THE BIG APPLE!! 10/18/2006

When a friend suggested we stay at the Pickwick Arms - in bunk beds - I envisioned a prison cell, one step from hell. What I found was a bit of heaven on New York's elegant East Side! more

Good food good hotel 7/28/2005

Pickwick arms hotel has some of the old charm of this great city that you cant find like you use to. This hotel is a good reminder of the old class of the city. They have an excellent gourmet restaurant in the hotel as well as amazing shopping and museum activity just around the corner. more

Clean and Cozy 6/6/2004

I stayed for 4 nights in a closet-sized room for one with private bath during the Christmas season. Unless you specifically want a big, grandiose room, I highly recommend Pickwick. It's a perfect place for those looking for a comfortable, safe, clean place to spend the night after a fun-filled day. The entire hotel is kept impeccably clean and has a causal (but not trashy or cheap), cheery atmosphere. Pros: clean, convenient, comfortable more

What a gem!! 10/22/2002

This hotel is great. I agree with the other reviewer, shared toilet/shower, no problem. This hotel is clean, bright, and cheerful, standard rooms may be a little small, but you're in NYC, what are you doing staying in your room? Pros: Inexpensive, Bright, Clean Cons: no soda machine, no iron/board availab more
