I stayed in a tiny, 107-square-foot hotel room that was inspired by an airline cabin. At $225 a night, it's not worth the price tag.

I spent a night in Yotelair, a chain known for its transit hotels.
Yotelair Changi Airport's Premium Queen Cabin is one of the tiniest hotel rooms in Singapore.

Changi Airport is Singapore's main airport. It was crowned the best airport in the world for eight consecutive years.

The mall was bustling on a Saturday night, so I was surprised to find the lobby mostly empty. There was only a handful of people hanging around.

While Yotelair is known for its airplane-themed motifs, the elevators were decked out in space decals.

Getting to my room was like navigating a maze: There are 130 cabins spaced out between two floors.

The room was bigger than I had anticipated. It had a queen-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, and a bathroom. The bed functioned like a hospital bed and could be adjusted or reclined into different seating positions.

The room reminded me of a college dorm room, with minimal furnishing. I'm only 5'1", so I can make do with limited space, but a taller person might encounter some trouble.

The bathroom, in comparison to the bedroom, was huge. It took up a third of the room.

That said, the sink was the smallest I have ever seen. The actual inset was two-thirds the size of a 1.5-liter bottle of water.

Although the lounge afforded an amazing view of Changi's indoor waterfall, the room left much to be desired, especially for its price tag.

I ate at the exclusive adults-only restaurant that's on every Disney cruise, and it was worth the extra $45
