No-tel

For the ones amongst us who may be looking for a new and seemingly unique place to stay (maybe for a Father's Day gift next year) this is your lucky day! The Henna-na Hotel in Nagasaki, Japan opened about a year ago. At this point you're probably wondering what makes this hotel different, how about it is staffed with robots? A staff of robots check you in at the front desk, a robotic porter handles your bags, the cleaning staff are also robots and if you need concierge service a robot will assist you. Robots are already found in stores and restaurant in Japan, so it isn't all that unusual for the next step to be staffing a hotel with them. Personally I find it a little creepy and would miss the interaction with a human staff, but maybe I'm just old fashioned that way.
