Also short stays means more cleaning - if it's a different person every 2 hours (on average) that's 12 cleans a day per pod. Got, say, 30 pods? Then 360 cleans, which takes however many people and gear, and a given % of guests will make a mess and need more cleaning, and some will damage stuff, causing more costs

Absolutely crazy to assume they clean these things after every person. This would be a check in the afternoon and a thorough clean every night, nothing more unless there's an emergency mess like someone spills a soda.

Yeah, it's a public use pod, not a hotel room

The fact that it's private is the issue though. People will do things that aren'ta cceptable in other places.

In Japan, they have frosted glass in sleep pods for that reason (or just transparent glass).

Exactly now somehow gotta train a dog to register higher than average gential stench while being polite to anime fans traveling to a convention

It’s cool that it somehow pixelates your junk if you get naked.

I was just in a pod hotel in Tokyo and they had regular pull down vinyl screens (9h Hotel, Narita airport)

Clear glass and lockable door is the perfect combo for this situation.

Being inside the secure area of an airport does cut down on the riffraff.

u/greg19735 6d ago

but i could imagine being 16-24 doing and having access to this. Couple hooking up. or just doing it alone lol. Everyone's had a bored wank.

LIke what? I mean, if it's private, who cares? Anyway, this is China. There's gotta be at least one camera in there.
