Perfect for when you just want a central home base. And free breakfast. There's much to be said for that.

Know what’s better than a pod? A bunk pod, like this one.

Service-centric approach leaves you feeling exceptionally well-hosted (and wondering if ESP is actually a thing).

An architectural stunner, this angular gem offers balconies off every chicly-styled room.

Don’t be fooled by the ultra-mod exterior. Interiors are decidedly traditional and inviting.

Occupying a (you guessed it) former paper factory, now transformed into a contemporary, sophisticated place to rest your head.

Mod comfort in a quiet area steps from Tribeca and surrounded by cool bars and restaurants.

Walking distance to the biggies: Empire State, Madison Square Garden, Flat Iron Building and Times Square (Shake Shack stop optional, but recommended).

Rooms are petite (it is NYC, after all), but their light and bright ‘tude makes ‘em ultra-comfy.

Lower East Side address within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants & the subway.

Basic but cozy rooms get the job done.

Mod rooms are petite, but with the killer Midtown locale how much time are you gonna spend there anyways?

Easy walk to the train for access to Manhattan, if that’s where you’re headed.

Up-and-coming neighborhood promises lots of new museums and galleries, including the MoMA PS1 and Socrates Sculpture Park. Go get art-smart.

In-room windows are huge, gigantic even (the better to see the killer views with).

Appropriately located on Orchard Street, in the vibrant and historic Lower East Side. Can’t find more character in Manhattan.

Posh mid-century modern en suite style makes ya feel like Donald Draper.
