<title>Far Rockaway: Not Quite A Floating Brothel, The Boggsville Boatel Is A Hit</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/boatel_5_constance_wide.jpg" class="top"><p>Only yesterday were we <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/7/25/9758/76040/hotels/Live_Out_Your_Flophouse_Fantasies_At_The_Bowery_House">telling</a> you about a new flophouse-turned-boutique-hotel set to open on the Bowery in Manhattan. Today, we direct your attention to an even cheaper alternative located in Far Rockaway, Queens. Somewhere between an artsy <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/3/11/122417/608/hotels/Times_Square_s_Sanctuary_Hotel_Previews_Rooms_and_a_Pop_Up_Restaurant">pop-up</a> restaurant and a no-frills budget motel lies the <strong>Boggsville Boatel</strong>, an interactive art project by Constance Hockaday (above). <p>Now, we've covered hotel <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Hotel%20Art">art</a> installations here before, but clearly, this one's a little different. In the case of the Boatel, the floating hotel itself becomes the art.]]>                               </description>

But it&#x27;s also got 13 restaurants, eight lounges, a spa, a fitness center and &#x22;sensational nightly entertainment.&#x22; There will also be live satellite coverage</description>

Over it! What we really want is a <b>free room</b> &#150; and our wishes are being granted. <p>First there was Elite Hotels' offer of a free night in one of their stately homes if you bought a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/1/18/163650/065/hotels/Pop_the_Cristal_and_Get_a_Free_Room_at_Elite_Hotels">bottle of Cristal</a>. Nice offer, but at £278.50, still not that affordable. <p>But now it&#146;s been joined by some rather less-heinously priced establishments. ]]>                          </description>
