It just so happens that today is the day we're reviewing our stay at the original <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/yotels">Yotel</a>, the 40-"cabin" <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel/local/1009">Yotel Heathrow Airport</a>, located right inside Terminal 4 at London's largest airport.
