1. Now I'll admit that I was disappointed at first, and wondering if I had made a huge mistake.

3. We did however get a room immediately but the front desk manager was very unfriendly and gave us the feeling that we made a mistake and that we should actually be happy to get a room at all because we didn't show up the day before.

"Fair location - very bad service and low quality of accommodations - should be called hostel rather than hotel " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/29/2009 Vote

4. I`m not sure it was checked while I was out and when I returned at midnight no one answered at the front desk when I called so I let it go - probably a mistake since I got little sleep with the street and restaurant noise below.

5. We left some left over pizza in our room and returned to the room after a few drinks in time square to tuck into the leftovers to find the pizza covered in roaches ( I must say at this point the pod hotel has the best hygiene standards i`ve ever seen and is no way dirty, leaving food around in NYC was our rookie mistake.
