Tour My Tiny 140-Square-Foot Hotel Room Inside Istanbul Airport: Photos

Waking up before sunrise to wait an hour in an airport security screening line and even longer at the gate is a miserable modern human experience, at least for me (a big complainer). 

So when I had the opportunity to book a room in the airside Yotelair hotel during my 15-hour overnight layover in Istanbul, I figured it would be a worthwhile time saver. I would pay anything — in this case $230 — to skip the boring wait inside airports. Plus, a sleepover inside an airport terminal sounded fun (in a "Night at the Museum" kind of way).

But it came at a non-monetary cost: My 140-square-foot hotel room might have been one of the smallest and most expensive cost-per-square-foot rooms I've stayed in.

Let's take a look around my accommodations for the night.
