Make room for fun

Pod 51 hotel in Manhattan conveniently near my client’s office, on, you guessed it, 51st St.

Racy sign in my shoebox sized NYC hotel room (reminds me of Hong Kong)

Tiny room, with bathrooms down the hall

Prison sink? All stainless steel

Safe can be licked with a code or a credit card swipe – haven’t seen that option before. Just don’t lock the cc in the safe!

There are 4 shared full bathrooms in the hall (on my floor). Conveniently the is a panel indicating whether they are occupied or not (like in an airplane, I guess. Haven’t seen that before)

SIN airside transit hotel budget room

Budget room has nice shared showers and WC (private within the washrooms), for S$47/US$38 for 6 hours (min).
As it turns out, I didn’t really need it as I slept on the previous flight and am trying to keep my body on EST.

No Wi-Fi in the rooms (actually I did get a weak signal) but the power outlets we’re multi national.
