Budget for my stress relief … $50/N once per week.

— req: quiet

• policy .. “No phone calls inside pod” and most guests watch shows with earphones.
• door-sliding .. CircularHouse warned against
• club music .. Kinn suggested “mixed rooms” which are further from music
• less crowded corners .. Some hotels have it esp. on weekdays.
• lobby … Some hotels (Kinn) have a enticing lobby to help keep sleeping area quiet.
• thick partitions .. at some (Kinn) hotels.  I believe thickness is by design, given the tiny room size and high cost of partition. I just don’t know how much difference it makes.
• If too noisy, I can request another pod, or I can quit and sleep in office.

— req: distance .. I can accept 1km by bike or walk

— req: warm.. I feel the more expensive ones tend to have aircon + blanket

— req: lockers .. all the hotels provide it.
