Tubohotel

Ever since Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, when the kids slept in the circular holes of a Lego, we've always wanted to do the same. The Tubohotel finally gives us that opportunity, with hotel rooms designed in the shape of a tube. Luckily, they include queen sized beds and there's no threat of giant bugs attacking in the middle of the night.
