Did we stay in the smallest hotel room?

Checking back into Hong Kong, we don't need a big or fancy room, just something basic that will hold us and our stuff. Turns out our choice is the smallest hotel room in the world. I think it would measure in at about 10x7 feet, inclusive of a full bath with shower.

You open the door and directly across is the bath and then two twin beds with almost 6 inches between them. The foot of the bed had enough room for a two drawer dresser where the TV with no English speaking channels sat. We had a little window and stacked our luggage under it.

In the mornings Victor would get up and get ready, then wake me up. I had to send him back to his bed so I could get up.

This was not the type of room you plan to come back to in the middle of the day for some relaxing. There was none. Actually, the only tension we had over our full holiday was while staying in this tiny place.

It was only $50 a night and was supposed to include free internet, but we couldn't connect. The lady was very helpful and gave us access to annother area I couldn't connect at and she gave me a plug to recharge the computer and that didn't work either. I think they have it set not to work, but smile the whole time as if this is a great surprise. Doesn't cost them anyting either way. Actually, they save money.

But it is done now, and we liked the area. A bit about that later.
