NEW YORK — A New York hotel with luxury sheets and state-of-the-art audio for less than $100 a night? All you have to sacrifice is a bit of privacy and a lot of space.
Developers are gambling that travelers looking for a little pampering at lower prices will embrace micro-hotels. The trick, says Sean MacPherson, co-developer of The Jane hotel, is to make its 150 tiny single rooms — about 7 feet wide by 8 feet long — feel “charming and special” rather than simply cramped.
The rooms include 350-thread count sheets, a 23-inch flat-screen LCD television, DVD player, iPod dock and free wireless Internet.
But you’ll likely have to share two public bathrooms on each floor.
