Great feel, great stay!
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Yotel in New York City and it was a great stay. We stayed 5 nights and booked the hotel online. The hotel is 3 blocks from Times Square and it is surrounded by many different things like Burger King, CVS, Subway (food) and 2 blocks away you can take a subway at Port Authority. The hotel is very hip. Checking in took us about 2 minutes. They have kiosks where you can check in with your last name and number of stays as well as with your credit card. So that was really easy. Then you choose how many room keys you want and they come out of the slots, and you're all set.
The rooms are quite tiny but a perfect size for a NYC stay. The bed retracts and can be transformed into a couch with the push of a button. This way you'll also have more space in the room to walk. The bathroom is great, it's all glass doors and stuff, but there's a curtain so it's not completely see through from the room. It was clean and room service was great.
Also, in the morning they served breakfast muffins, all kinds, banana, nuts, chocolate. They also serve free coffee all throughout the day downstairs. Also, all floors had a galley where you could get free coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
Checking out was also done at the kiosks. Also, if you have some time to kill, the guys in the lobby will take care of your suitcases, store them for you and make sure there's a ride ready for you to take you to the airport at whichever time you want. They provide a sort of a shuttle service (with Escalades!) that costs you 60$ including tip (to JFK), which is the same amount you'd pay for a taxi.
So, overall, excellent hotel!! The only thing is that breakfast was limited. Muffins aren't something I like to have for breakfast every morning.
Also, I found that the beds were not very soft. They were kind of hard. I slept comfortably but woke up with back pains.
