Editorial Review for The Pod Hotel – by Julia Israel
The Scene
The quick, efficient style of mass transit--sans grime and disrepair--embodies this midtown find for the young, hip and budget-conscious. At every turn, you'll be reminded of your travels: from the lobby's wood paneled walls that conjure up a yacht to the camper-sized rooms. And inside each room, or pod, in-room sinks are modeled after those in airplane bathrooms with above-door lights flashing "occupied." Joining the Mile High club just got a lot more convenient.
The Details
It's the technology--iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, and free WiFi--that really jazzes up the 347 rooms. Beds double as funky couches, with atomic pattern coverlets hiding the accoutrements of sleep. A third of the rooms (choose from queen, double, single, bunk beds and a few larger rooms) share access to hall bathrooms, while glass doors to the in-room W.C.'s make privacy scandalously optional.
