ALEXANDRIA, VA - OCTOBER 28: Janne Clare, Executive Vice President, left, and Aaron Katz, CEO of Modus Hotels are pictured in a small 145-square-foot mock hotel room on the top floor of an unfinished office building in Alexandria, VA. Hotel companies use mock rooms to fine-tune their designs and decide whether existing blueprints are practical and efficient. This one is a prototype for D.C.'s first "pod" hotel, opening in Chinatown next year. (Photo by Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post via Getty Images)
