As early as next spring, British chain Yotel plans to open at a new location on Times Square, complete with 669 "capsules" of less than 160 square feet (15 meters squared) for 150 dollars a night. (news.yahoo.com)

I assume it's $150/night because it's in Times Square, because that's an absurd amount for even a regular hotel room elsewhere in NYC. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 27, 10:09 10

    - Clearly the hotel industry needs to have bigger press conferences that are covered by Gizmodo. -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 10:24

    - If you tip the security guard to let you sleep in the dumpster. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 10:14 1
      - For another $50, he'll wake you up before the sanitation truck comes. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:15
- Well, they were comparing the rates to the bottom end at $300, I would assume prime location -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 10:11 1
  - I kinda don't get why Times Square would be a prime location ... to sleep. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 10:13
