#2I love the idea. The problem is certainly one I share. Will be checking this out (NYC).

#3I'd be very surprised if less than half the bookings were for sex, amateur or professional.

To be honest this is a good idea and it's a pain point I've had before. Meet a potential one night stand when you're travelling but can't use wherever you are staing. Nice room you can book really quickly as a place to spend the night would be great. Locate them near downtown cores and it's like Love Hotels except better (and hopefully less sketchy).

If these are in commercial buildings I am wondering if this couldn't be solved by installing security cameras?

#8Great idea.
At first, by reading the title, I thought it was about making flights more comfortable. I really would like to see planes where instead of selling 200 seats at $500 each, they sell 100 seats at $1000 with double leg room and bigger seats. Or even 50 mega seats at $2000 each.
First class seats go for 10k a pop which makes them really expensive only affordable by big corporations. So something in the middle may be a good thing to explore.
Can a group of entrepreneurs buy a plane an make a direct flight JFK-LAX with just 50 seats and still make a profit?

I have always wanted to see those capsule boxes that the Japanese salarymen use when they miss the last train home installed in airports and the like. Why can we have a small quiet box to lie down in and rest between flights?

The airline industry is one of the most competitive industries in the world and they have tried everything that will make money. As much as you and I would love this I fear that there is no way to make money doing this the way the industry currently is set up.
Having said this I do think the airline industry has managed to get itself stuck in a non-optimal local maximum that could be broken out of with some intelligent regulation.
