As travel budgets become smaller, accommodation options shrink as well, both in cost and in size. Micro hotels are nothing new among the budget traveler crowd, but they are only recently making their way into the conversations of business travelers. Business travel involves meetings and schlepping from conference hall to auditorium to company happy hours and dinners. Rarely does a business traveler spend considerable amounts of time in his hotel room, enjoying the amenities and catching up on the week´s television shows. Thus, micro hotels have begun marketing their small yet affordable spaces to this niche of travelers. Some of these micro rooms are as small as 65 to 200 square feet with only the basics: a bed, a desk, some sort of clothes-hanging apparatus and either a private or shared bathroom. The benefit for the traveler is an easy-on-the-wallet space in which to crash during downtime away from a hectic schedule, while the benefit for the hotel chain is to fit more reservations into the same amount of space while reaping profits. Specialty brands like Yotel offer only such rooms, while larger chains like Hilton and Marriott introduced smaller versions of their standard rooms with a stylish touch. Some travelers may still find comfort in the space that comes with the traditional hotel room, but for visitors looking for a cheaper, simpler way to stay, micro hotels are an option.
