The Top 9 Signs You've Gotten a Bad Hotel Room
- The guy at the front desk stares at your chest and asks if you could "sleep facing the clown painting."
- They don't take American Express, but will consider stereos, VCR's or jewelry.
- At check-in, the clerk informs you that all of the "Non-Infested" rooms are taken.
- "Room service" nothing more than a can of Spam and a bottle of Ripple in a brown paper bag.
- "Marv Albert wuz here" chewed into headboard.
- Room service answers, "This better be good, Jerry Springer's on."
- A second look at the sign out front reveals you're at "Howard's Johnson."
- Sign out front says, "WELCOME, NAMBLA CONVENTION"
and the Number 1 Sign You've Gotten a Bad Hotel Room...
- "Indian Graveyard Inn" even sounds like a bad idea.
