Modern + Hip = Yotel
I travel alot and this hotel is very nice and clean. I love the whole hightech vibe this hotel has. I had a corner queen on the 25th floor facing the hudson. There are only one of these rooms per floor. Check facebook on occasion for a discount. I saved 15% using a code I found on face book. The club on the 4th floor was packed all 6 nights I was there. The room I had was plenty large enough for 1 or 2 people. Bag storage isnt a big deal. You can leave it with the Yobot or put it in your room. The Bed isnt super hard its about like a futon on the floor. Once you get used to it you wont notice it unless you have back issues.
In my review I have some positives and some negitives. It all depend on what you are looking for.
Now the good
+++++ The Yotel is super claen and very high tech...
+++++ There is a galley on every floor with free coffee and a ice machine. It also has a fridge
 To test the whole community fridge I left 2 cokes wih my name on them and they were
 never moved. I saw plenty of people leaving left overs in there. This is super handy..
+++++ Everyone who works at the Yotel is super friendly.
+++++ The view from my room is the best I have ever had in NYC
+++++ There is a CVS out front...Handy for snacks 
+++++ My room was next to the galley but I never heard anyone.Its not an issue.
And now the bad..
------ I wouldnt call it "Times Square" I mean you are a block away fom the Hudson. 
 Its in Mid Town West if anything. 
------ Its about a 8min walk to the closest subway stop. Its like 4 blocks east.
------ The "Rain Shower" is called so because its like you are trying to shower in a rain shower,
------ The sink doesnt drain the water out of the sink. There isnt enough of a grade on the inside 
 of the sink to make the water flow to the drain. After you brush your teeth the water
 hangs out in the sink. I felt obligated to coral the water and toothpaste into the drain.
 If I had to pour out a drink I had to use the shower drain.
----- There is a Subway sandwich place and a Food emporium close. Out side of that food is
 a block away. Papya dog and 99 cent pizza place.As far as a nice place you got to walk
 a couple blocks..
------ The restraunt on site is expensive. For breakfast I had french toast and a coke and it
 was $20..The dinner and lunch didnt aeal to me. I m a steak and burger kind of traveler.
If I can find a good deal I would love to stay here again. The negitives are far less than the positives. I am a sucker for gadgets and high tech. The Yotel is a must stay..
