Another day, another Hotel Video Tour. This time we snuck into The Pod Hotel (formerly the Pickwick Arms) to check out those slick renovations we told you about last year.

The verdict? Boy these rooms are small! Then again, you won't be paying that much--at least by New York standards. This room went for $197 last night, which is pretty standard.

One thing you won't notice in the tour are the under bed storage drawers. (Then again, where will you put your unpacked bags?) Still, the free WiFi and iPod dock are good for the kids, and the mini flatscreen TV is super cute. You'll want to leave it on so you don't hear all the racket in the hall--the walls are just as mini as the rest of the place.

    Wow, that is a small room

    That bathroom looks tiny! I for one am disappointed that this wasn't a room with bunk beds.

    Yup

    Smaller than a dorm room tiny.  I guess that is why it is called the "pod" hotel.  When is their roof deck opening?
