The Pod is a pretty cool place to stay. Really funky interior and relatively cheap for where you are in New York - in the middle of everything - as long as you can handle the backpackeresque showering and toilet facilities. I stayed in a single room whilst I was there and it was everything I needed (and a little more). I have to say if you spend most of your time in your hotel room in New York your probably missing out anyway so I don't see the need for anything too flash.
