Hotel room per hour | |||||||||||||||||
Whenever I travel and I have a connecting flight to take, with a break of few hours, and I need rest and shower and change, I rent a hotel room on airport. I stay for three hours and pay for full day. Why do hotels not offer rooms per hour, say $20 per hour, minimum two hours and that is it?

By taking a nap, taking a shower, having a quick hand-shandy, or whatever, you can make as much mess in three hours as in twenty-four. Unless it's a certain special kind of hotel, this will have to be cleaned up before the next guest arrives. In a typical hotel operation there are too many individual steps involved in providing hospitality to a guest to make it economical to provide the level of staff and resources needed to have a three-hour turnaround. The increased activity and constant noise would destroy whatever ambience the hotel had strived to create.
A better way to go would be the "Capsule Hotel" model found in Japan. A modified form of this is being developed in London, with rooms just big enough to stand up and lie down in. This is the fast food version of a hotel, and the rooms can be cleaned and turned over very quickly and efficiently.
Another obvious problem would be the use of the facility for illegal sexual purposes. This happens of course with normal hotels but short stay hotels would probably intensify the problem.
I agree that room sizes will be probably smaller, and maybe have less facilities than what current rooms have. However, other features can be added which will recover the cost e.g. paid music or video feed.
If these hotels are offered inside the airports, I do not illegal sex would be a big problem there.
actually.... some hotels in singapore have in total above 1000 rooms available at about 13USD per hour... stiff competition u got there...
Hey, What a great fucking idea you fucking idiot! A hotel room that rents by the hour on Airways Blvd. in Memphis. Jesus Christ and you took the fucking time to qrite that? Drugs and prostitutes here is your chance need to get high or fuck a john? Just go here and rent buy the hour. You deserve to run over you punk!
OK, I travel a great deal, too much any doctor would say. Many VIP/airline lounges have showers and some have beds for about 20 an hour. AS he stated, in layovers at airports. How many of you have seen hookers/drug dealers in the airport?
