Default Crash Pads

I was listening to Joe Dion's "Come Fly With Me" podcast, and he mentioned
professional pilot's "crash pads" in New York City. And suddenly I'm
intrigued. I'm considering taking a job at Google in New York City, but
my wife doesn't want to move, so I'm thinking what I need is basic
accomodation to crash at 3-4 nights a week while I work 12+ hours a day,
then I'll come home to Rochester NY for a long weekend, and a room full of
bunk beds, half of them empty, for the nights in NYC sounds ideal. So the
question is: can non-pros take advantage of these things, and how do I
find one?

I didn't need to sabotage anything. Not being around to say "No that
won't work" or "you can't do it that way" is more than enough damage.
