Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient. They have a car service right in the lobby."

YOTEL New York Times Square

8/10 Good

"Staff was kind and the hotel was beautiful. However, the first room we checked into had no working features (moving bed, cool lighting to adjust, nor the towel warmers which the staff expressed is no longer advertised). The second room was a lot better however this room didn’t have a working thermostat to change the temperature so we were overheated at times which was frustrating especially during the summer. We didn’t feel like moving rooms once again so decided to just deal with it. Besides that the hotel is great, wish it was within a little closer walking distance to the subway but it was manageable. I thought it was a nice touch for the rooftop movie showings as well. Overall if you’re looking to stay closer in the heart of the city, then this is a good option."
