Glasgow's Citizen M Hotel

This hotel deserves a post all of its own.  When you walk in it is like walking into an Apple store.  To check in you march up to a computer screen and answer coy questions like "Are you sure you don't want to be added to our mailing list?  Think twice about this"  Yes dammit, yes.  I've been travelling for 20 hours and I just want a shower and a nap.  Young staff, like apple geniuses, flit about trying to help those of us not so adept with computers (or if we don't have the "chip" in our credit card - and they are flabbergasted by this).

The next sign that this is a unique hotel is, as you walk down the hallway, you notice how close together the doorways are.  Are these rooms very long and narrow?  Uh, no.  They are narrow and short a total of 120 square feet, maximum.  The king bed (hey at least there's a king bed) takes up 2/5 of the room . . . and we have to arrange our linens.  There is one chair and a stool.  If you should desire the sense of richness associated with multiple rooms, there is a curtain hung midway in the room which you can pull across and "voila"  you have two rooms.
The sink is in the "living" area and reminds me of a public drinking water fountain only not that big.  The bathroom, oh the bathroom, is encased entirely within frosted glass on one side of the room; the toilet being on one side and the shower on the other.  The door doesn't quite seal so Rick and I are getting to know each other in ways that we never actually ever desired. 

Also, everything, I mean everything, is controlled by an ipad like computer.  The temperature, the fan, the TV, the lights.  Rick is still trying to figure out which means I'll never figure it out. 

However I must note that, the lack of space is more than adequately compensated for by choice of shampoos/shower gels (AM vs PM) and the ability to change the lighting in the bathroom.  Not feeling in a fuchsia mood?  Presto!  You have aqua.  Rick had great fun playing with the color controls the entire time I took a shower.

Not sure this is an experience that I'll repeat, but it certainly is an experience, I'll remember.
