    I loved Panda Pod, until I realized they double billed me.

    On 07/17, I checked in and was billed and paid $490.58 for 4 nights. 07/18, I looked at my online bank statement & $490.65 was in a pending status from Panda Pod. I understood there was an $80 dep. It is 07/21, at 10:45 PM. I vacated @ 11AM. The charge is still in a pending status on my account. WHY? I’ve talked to the bank as well as Panda Pod(PP). No one can explain it. I’m a Senior and NOW, bc of the pending $490.65, I am BROKE. Even though it’s in a pending status the money is taken out of the account. HELP ME. I talked to several bankers @ Wells Fargo & many admins @ PP about what that charge can be. HELP

    It was clean and surprising to me there were 70? Pods. Lucky for me, Angel, who was working the day I checked in, assigned me to the “wheelchair” bed. So much room. I left a thankyou note for her. I am a mature woman, but not in a wheelchair. Very grateful

    I wish I could have had a space to keep my big bag with me at the pod but the space under the pod was too small. I had to keep it at reception. A couple of nights you could hear people chatting at normal volume rather than keep quiet at night time.

    The beds were super comfy, staff were really friendly and helpful. The showers were nice and hot

    The check in could have been a little smoother, a bit glitchy with the app, that the friendly recepctionists quickly figured out.

    Great option for a quick nite's rest after a travel day or before heading out somewhere. Bed comfortable, great shared shower area, lots of lockable storage. Great reception staff!

    I switched my shoe locker and key in the evening and very early morning when I needed my shoes, I realized they were locked in my old locker to which I had no key to. With no staff at 5am I thought I was destined to catch my flight without my shoes. But then I saw that the staff were thoughtful enough to change shoes to my new locker the night before. Key attention to detail, thank you!

    Shower facilities weren’t great as they weren’t private enough. There was also no room to put bags/changing after shower. I also wish the curtains to the beds were more door like so you have more privacy as there are gaps so people can see in.

    Very clean, friendly staff great systems and plenty of lockable storage.

    I would have liked each shower have a small anteroom, so I can undress in private and have my clothes right there. As it was, I undressed and left my clothes out in the open and was just grateful that I was alone in the room.

    Very clean, super helpful staff, bed definitely big enough.

    The location is cool, close to bus stop I guess. But, to the airport train, a little bit you need to walk (10mins more). During daytime is completely fine, but if you have a flight in the early morning, you should consider walking at the dark road or take a taxi:)

    It was so CLEAN! I was surprised in a positive way! And they gave you a free towel and slippers (even disposable slippers for the shower). I cannot complain anymore. It is nice experience to stay here!

    There weren’t many options in terms of amenities; however, at least one option for each major amenity (commonly used during travel) was located within 1-4 city blocks from the hotel. I could see one bank, one restaurant, and one barber shop from the front door. Plus the Bus station was close enough for me to to walk with my bags so all in all this is a positive thing and NOT a negative comment. I liked the property. I felt LESS safe in the dang ferry terminal, however, I would suggest adding fob access to the rooms of pods: while most guests tend to stay to themselves, I personally would feel safer knowing I only have access to the room where MY pod is. Also, those ladders are hard to get up and ESPECIALLY down, but hey, I felt like a kid again so THAT was fun; they did however feel a TAD unsafe, even for me, a 130lbs 5’5” female :D all in all, thank you for a comfy and cozy place to stay WITH coffee! :)

    I liked that there was a really close connection to the Ferry (Brighouse Skytrain + Bus Station). I want to especially thank Daphne for helping me get to the Ferry Terminal by nearly writing out exact step by step directions while I watched and followed along - then stapled it to my luggage tag so I didn’t lose it. She also helped me find my phone in a panic by calling it and listening for the buzz with me (as all phones on silent). I did not get the wake up call today, and If I did I missed it but I don’t even mind if I didn’t get it because I feel Daphne (and the cleaning lady, as well as the gentleman who checked me in on Oct 8th late PM) could sense I was having a difficult time last night/today. Thank you to the Pandas, especially Daphne! I’m sure all the pandas are amazing people, but how Daphne handled my frenetic energy today was truly a blessing - she is very good with people; a heartfelt thanks to you, Daphne.

    Had a great sleep at panda pod.. unfortunately thought my pod had not been cleaned (changed bed sheets) which was a bit of a disappointment. But all in all was a comfortable stay, quiet and the staff were very friendly. Would recommend panda pod for a short stay.

    Your showers needs better curtains you might try a weighted curtain and adjustable shower heads when you turn them water goes everywhere and you get your clothes wet.

    Your staff is amazing friendly kind and full of information. I like the fact that i can pick my pod when i arrive Location is great, and like the small kitchen tea and coffee .

    Constant tapping noises and people moving around at all. Couldn't work out where the tapping noises were coming from, but had to wear headphones to try and block it out. Although haven't had this previously staying here, so maybe just a bad night.

    Comfortable and clean. Staff very helpful.

    Cleaning started early (around 0930) when I was there making it impossible to sleep after that time. Pretty annoying when I’d been for a couple of beers the night before and wanted to lie in. The mattress and pillow are not particularly comfortable. Also I had trouble climbing down from the top bunk so some people might want to stick to the lower.

    Very clean and well managed. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
