Micro-hotel in NYC

Going to New York City anytime soon? If your travels bring you to the Big Apple, check out The Pod. It’s a new micro-hotel in the center of mid-town. Rates average about $90 per night. Now that’s a small price with style…

It’s not uncommon for visitors to New York City to spend $300 a night for a hotel room in the heart of the action, Manhattan. The cheapest hotel room not at the center of things would typically cost you about $129 a night. But now there is The Pod.

The micro-hotel looks like a luxurious boutique hotel. It has a cafe with designer decor, a terrace and a concierge, and it is right in the center of midtown.

David Bernstein, the Pod’s managing director, says the building used to be a single-room occupancy hotel. The Pod’s owners could have chosen to knock down walls and make bigger rooms, he says. “Instead, we decided to leave the room sizes as they were and create a niche for younger travelers; less expensive rooms, a little hip, a little fun.”
