The Idea
Super-small, super-affordable hotel rooms
Why It’s More Than Average?
Got a spare dresser? You could be sitting on a wasted pod hotel! Rent that bad boy out!
If you go to New York, San Francisco, Chicago or any big city for that matter, you may find that downtown hotel rooms lacking in terms of space. They probably cost more than their roomier brothers out in the burbs.
These rooms are great for people staying downtown, because they’re probably the type of people that’ll be out in the city sightseeing during the day or partying it up at night. The only thing they’ll use the room for is sleeping, so why give them anything more?
Will It Succeed?
I’m willing to bet there’s a large number of people who just want a bed, maybe some internet access and a place to wash up when they stay in a different city. It could be the American answer to the European hostel.
Less is sometimes more. When people try to come up with new ideas, they often try to complicate or add to something that already exists. There’s a lot of opportunity in recognizing a niche like the “bed only” traveler.
