Love Hotel

The term “Love Hotel” refers to a type of hotel where you rent a room based on hours. It is a very common type of hotel in Japan. However, in the United States of America, there is no custom to rent a hotel room based on hours. In addition to the Love Hotels, there are not many “so-called” Capsule Hotels nor Saunas with sleeping rooms in the US. When I worked in Japan, if I had to stay late and I missed the last train, I used to go to the sauna and stay all night there.

I think there are needs for Love Hotels, Capsule Hotels and Saunas with sleeping facilities in the US. Especially when hotel prices are so high. I stayed a night at a Sauna because it was cheaper than a hotel and also cheaper than taking a taxi. They are also clean and quiet.

If I have the chance, I would like to bring these hotels to the US.
