The rooms are very small (the beds are 5' 9" long), but each room is a private space with a lock, which is great. It is one larger room that was divided into 30 smaller rooms, the walls go up about 7' and then there is approx another 10' of open space above the walls. The ceiling to each pod is covered in the lattice that you see in the photos. This means that you can hear all of the other 30 pods. The staff was very quick to tell us upon check-in to notify them of any disturbances or noisy people in the pods. During our stay there was a couple that was very noisy in the middle of the night and the staff was kind but firm in issuing their noise warning. It is up 3 flights of stairs and in a neighborhood that isn't a clean as broadway and times square, but overall it is a great location near Little Italy. For $65 per night, you can't beat a clean room with a locking door and helpful staff.
