Coffin Hotels Opening Near You

Posted by Zonk on from the perfect-for-the-shadowrunner-on-the-go dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Britain will soon see the launch of a chain of automated, short-term hotels for travelers and businesspeople." From the article: "Each soundproof cabin will contain a sofa that converts into a double bed, a pull down desk, closet space, adjustable mood lighting, a shower, wireless Internet, an iPod connection and a flat-screen TV. Check-in and check-out will be automated, but food and drinks will be available."

    After a night of partying, many college students are already quite comfortable with this idea.

    Do you want to advertise a hotel room bookable for four hour slots as coming complete with a "Jack Stick"?
