Very Cool Place to Stay - worth a try, i'd go back.
Recently booked a last minute trip to NY. Hotel prices were double what I wanted to pay. So i hit tripadvisor and found Yotel. What a very cool, hip, trendy NY hotel. From the moment you hit the ground floor lobby you know you've entered a not so typical place. They bellman has been replaced by a giant white wall with cubbies and robotic arm that lifts your luggage and places it in a cubby. Check in with a kiosk or go to the lobby on the 4th floor for some traditional check in. The lobby is very interesting - lighting and view outside are cool. There are two bars in the main lobby - one has at least a dozen glass room around the parameter with their own flat screen and couches. The other has sushi tables and a really cool vibe. Just outside the bar is a huge rooftop terrace - summer months would be awesome here. At night cool vibie music filled the bars and lobby area, in the morning the music was replaced with nature sounds like birds chirping etc. The rooms are very cool. They call them "pods" picture a really cool cruise chip cabin style room. My bed was a combination of couch and bed. press a button on the wall and it transformed into one or the other. The shower was a glass cube - three sides completely visible and a view outside. I ate sushi at the bar - excellent! Breakfast the next morning was standard but very good as well. Every floor has their own refreshment station.
