pretty impressed
By the time i got in to new york (id taken the bus from toronto) i was so exhausted i just wanted to pass out. i walked from the port authority to the yotel which is clearly visible from miles away with its bright purple face. when you first walk in you are greeted by employees that are friendly, and helpful. checking in was super easy with their automated service. the hotel system is a little weird, and you have to go to the 4th floor (where the bar, resteraunt is) before you can anywhere else, but, whatever, minor inconvenience. when i got up to my (cabin) room, i had a ceiling to floor view of the hudson river and 10th street. the room is very tiny, but with all the necessities. if id been staying with someone it mightve beena bit weird with the bathroom situation, as the bathroom is not necissarily private. the 'wall' seperating it from the rest of the cabin is clear! i can imagine many couples making the most out of private resteraunt bathrooms during breakfast, as i would never wanna do my business in front of someone! lol. the bed was amazingly comfy, and i had time to catch a bit of the oscars on the large flat screen suspended from the wall before dozing off. the 'ncluded' breakfast really wasnt that great, coffee and a muffin, but with the prices for the rooms, im really lucky to get anything at all. the hotel is somewhat trendy and i felt a bit awkward heading in and out of my room at times due to all of the gorgeous young club kids hanging around, but thats ok too. the hotel is clean, private, safe, and wonderfully located. on top of all this, its extremely affordable, for any standards, not just new york. love the idea for the hotel and cant wait to stay in one again sometime.
