My son and I were “stuck” in NYC for 2 nights due to the global internet fiasco. With literally no reasonably priced rooms with more than 1 bed, I used filters to drill down and found Pod. What a cool place!!! The location could not be better for the walking tourist, and the concept is genius. What a fantastic use of space and a focus on cleanliness. If I ever find myself in NYC, I won’t be looking for a place to stay, I’ll be staying at Pod.

Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Sometimes I hesitate to write such positive reviews because I want to keep places I enjoyed so much to myself. But the Hilton Garden Inn West 35th was from start to finish an amazing hotel experience. So it has to be said. I was warmly greeted by Kim and after a long morning/aft of travelling it was so needed. My room exceeded my expectations and was spacious and clean and had a view most people would be jealous of. Trust me. The location of the Hilton Garden Inn cannot be beat. Period....

Allyson

A modern dining area with a long table, black chairs, and a bar area with stools.

CIVILIAN Hotel

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Overall, a great hotel for a short stay! The room was fantastic, and the value for the location was hard to beat. There were a few minor downsides, though. Breakfast was underwhelming and the front desk wasn't always staffed when we needed assistance. Nothing that significantly impacted our stay, but worth keeping in mind if you're planning a longer visit. For the price and location, I'd definitely recommend it!

Hilton Garden Inn New York Times Square South

Manhattan

10/10 Excellent

Easily walkable to/from Penn Station, Times Square etc. Staff were great, friendly and always willing to help. My only minor issue was the hotel is on a street that did not LOOK all that safe, it was dark and had some sketchy looking individuals. However I do want to stress that at no point was I worried something might occur, just be aware that it appears to look scarier than it is. We are spending another night in NYC after our cruise and I was hoping to stay here again, but unfortunately...
