Although it was only a matter of time before capsule hotels expanded into America, I don't think I'll ever be able to stay at the Rockwell Group's Yotel Times Square. I'm not exactly claustrophobic, but I'm pretty sure that one night will trip me across that fine line.
Yet I can see the appeal and benefit of Rockwell group's Yotel Times Square. Not only can it be marketed as a unique experience, it will offer 669 rooms, accommodating quite a few tourists. Also, it's twice the size of Yotel's airport hotel.
