Yotel Experience

This was the oddest experience I have had. I didnt' know what to expect but upon arrival as I was used to the facilities at LGW. Wow, this is not that for sure. It was a bit of an adventure finding the Yotel but I finally did. The check in was very easy, I just told them I was a Continental passanger wanting to use the shower and they asked my name and then gave me a key. They were very polite. Then you go into these pods as previously mentioned. You lug your luggage up a few stairs and then down this hall and pods are on either side. You then go down a few steps into your pod through the door... They are not that big but it all seemed so odd. You walk into this space which is barely enough room for you and your luggage. To the one side is this bed which is a bit like being on a bed on a boat, kind of a cubbie hole thing and the other side of the middle area is the toilet/sink/shower all in a space of about 3 by 6 feet. It wasn't a horrible experience, the room was clean, just didn't seem to fit the atmostphere CO had crated in its shower facilities at LGW. I must confess though after a nice long shower, i did lay down on the bed and fell asleep for a couple hours. They phoned the room (there is a phone and tv in the room in the bed cubicle) and woke me up. I laughed and told them I had fell alsleep and they said no problem. So all in all not a bad experience, just not what I expected. The nap actually was nice and they never asked me for money for staying longer.
