That was a "western" setup - most toilets she encountered there were simply holes in the floor. 2) I got one of the iHome alarm clocks for Christmas. I'm still getting used to it but my biggest gripe so far is the fact that you can wake only to all music. I'd prefer if you could select a playlist to wake to, even one of the predefined iTunes playlists iii) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! Two things;

But it was still "different", as the sliding shower steam door was also the door to the entire affair. ;-) Welllll…the toilet wasn’t actually under the shower head or anything – the entire shower area was about 7′ long, and there was an interior curtain and partition to keep the two separate.

On the toilet seat? O.o Talk about your safety liability issues... Maybe if it tipped in and out like the one on Firefly... hehe I guess they don't have to worry so much about keeping the toilet clean though... Just close the curtain and blast away with the hot water... lol Toilet *in* the shower?!?! o.O Where do you stand to take a shower? On the toilet seat?

I love the free wi-fi in every room (I wish every hotel would provide that.) Now if I can just convince my wife to go for the bunk bed idea...

It's on E 51st, so it's not <em>too</em> far from everything. They are also in the process of doing some major remodeling - it will be even cuter when they are done. :-) I am staying at the Pickwick Arms, which is in the 100ish range.

Toilet in the shower?!? That bed looks small and uncomfy... I can picture myself banging my head on the desk or that self thingy on the other side :P. I hope the rates are not typical of New York hotels though. Thats crazy! Toilet in the shower?!?
