Nineteenth, alone on 33, with breakfast paid and nothing for cruisers. YOTEL's YOBOT robotic concierge stores bags in 150 bins, and Green Fig does New American food from breakfast to late night.
The bins matter on a cruise — drop the bags, see the city, collect them later. That's our reading, not a YOTEL promise; the page doesn't say how long they'll hold them.
The page we read gave no parking, fees or check-in times, and check-in is self-service.
Flying in with time to kill? Book it, and ask about the bins before you land.
Book it if
- Flyers who want to store bags before or after the cruise
- Anyone who wants a rooftop and a cabaret
Look elsewhere if
- You're driving.
- You want breakfast included.
