Yotel Hotel Review

Times Square, New York

I recently stayed at the new Yotel Hotel at Times Square in New York City. Actually, the Yotel (10th and 42nd Street) is a few blocks from Times Square (7th and 42nd), but is less than a 10 minute walk. Its rooms are larger than those in capsule hotels but are very small relative to traditional hotel rooms.* It's marketed as high-tech at an affordable price.

New York's Yotel Hotel at Times Square

On my East coast excursion, I'll be staying at the new Yotel in New York at Times Square. I'll take pictures and give a quick review when I return.

Cincinnati

Cincinnati will never have a Times Square or Central Park, but the city's image and urban planning are improving drastically as highlighted by this Sunday's Cincinnati Enquirer. Cincinnati's downtown is once again becoming a place to shop, gather, eat, and enjoy the arts. This, in large part, is thanks to young, eager, charismatic business owners, artists, planners and architects.

It's nice to see the resurgence and additions of restaurants, condos, the Horseshoe Casino, Fountain Square and riverfront development, featuring The Banks. Time will dictate their successes, but things are definitely looking up.

Image is one thing--we must continue to improve racial/class relations, housing and employment. But, so does everywhere else. This is a fun and exciting to be a Cincinnatian.

Times Square is the happening place to be; Cincinnati is getting there.
