Attention Brooklynites! Pod Brooklyn is now open in the heart of Williamsburg. This premier modular hotel is well-known for its micro-sized rooms that are built entirely in Poland and then shipped to the US. It's located on the bustling corner of Metropolitan and Driggs Avenue, which means it's close to the L subway stop as well as all the bars and restaurants on Bedford Ave. The 249 modular rooms (each about 100 feet) include queen and bunk bed configurations with features like built-in storage and high-tech amenities. Look out the window onto an abundance of green gardens or opt for the blackout and noise blocking shades for when it's time to unplug. You'll probably notice the sky-lit glass ceiling in the lobby upon arrival as well as the connecting glass hallways, which really make this hotel stand out from the rest. Rates start as low as $99/night and mark your calendars for spring 2018, when Pod Brooklyn will roll out a dynamic food & beverage program.
