Now in NY
Earlier this evening I arrived in New York and settled in at The Pod Hotel. It's one of those teeny tiny NYC hotel rooms, but at least I have a private bathroom, which I made sure to request:
Problem #1 with the room: no iron or ironing board -- not that there would be room for them anyway. I'm going to see if they'll bring me an iron.
Problem #2 with the room: no coffee maker! I had been somewhat panicky about this one, but tonight I ordered dinner from the Morning Star Café. As I was looking at the menu, I noticed that I could place my order using delivery.com. I did so, then I realized that I could place an advance order for breakfast, including coffee, and I did just that.

Nice Place
You have a desk, though? And internet? That's more than my cheap NYC hotel gives. This looks like a great place; I'll have to keep it in mind when the other places on my cheap list get full or I want something different.
It is nice, actually
They brought me an iron and mini ironing board, which was nice. I would recommend this hotel, but I wouldn't say it's cheap. It's under $200.00 per night, though.
Conference hotels
I read this with a smile, because I am at the MELUS conference now, enjoying the most palatial hotel room I've ever stayed in. I guess there are a few perks to being in Fresno.
Oh, okay
I misunderstood. I thought this was one of the cheaper options. When you mentioned asking for a private bath, I thought it was like the hotels I stay in in NYC, which tend to run from $75-$115. This looks similar to the Newton, except (as I said) there's a desk.
Pod Hotel
I was unable to make it to the Cs this year, but my reservation was at the Pod Hotel. I sorta wish I'd been just to say that I'd slept in a pod. ;-) Nice pics, too.
