The Return of the Yotel
After having had a great time staying here in 2011, when we decided to visit NYC again this year, the decision to stay once more at Yotel was very easy. 
This is my previous review: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60763-d2079052-r118195497-YOTEL_New_York_at_Times_Square_West-New_York_City_New_York.html
Things have changed a bit ever since. Mostly for the better. We were offered bigger rooms at special rates as part of their eStandby Upgrade program. So we took advantage of that and upgraded to a huge room with a hot tub on the terrace. This was totally worth it for a two week stay. There were some minor issues with the billing later on but Linda (special commendation to her) cleared all that up for me in no time. 
They've gotten really busy. And that was perhaps the only negative point. Last time around, someone greeted us upon arrival and helped with our bags etc. None of that was present this time. It's not a big deal but it somehow felt like the personal touch was missing just a bit. Oh well, at least you always have Yobot :)
In conclusion, this is a great hotel, with friendly service and an absolutely unique experience. Everybody should stay here at least once. And yes, when we're back in NYC, we'll stay here again.
