There’s no drought of bad schtick here

I haven’t had a bad hotel room story in awhile, so luckily I hopped a plane to Atlanta today and happened to check into one tonight.  Who knew? Boutique hotels in the South! So glad I found one.

Fortunately, the room has everything I need.

Water bottles with sexy come-ons.  I’d pay at least $10.00 to meet the marketing dude who came up with that line.

You don’t need to read the tag to understand my response: No, I don’t do hairy fuzzy creatures that look like my son’s Halloween costume.

Who needs a black-out eye mask when you can wear 3-D glasses to bed?

And last,

A shower right next to my bed.  Need I say more? (Edited- I thought of this line on the plane: “This takes wetting the bed to a whole new level.” Me so funny.)

What is wrong with me when the first thing I think of when I see the last picture is “how do they keep those shower doors so sparkly?”

Anyone who uses “schtick” in their title is a superhero in my book…

I would pay $15 to see you see the man who thought up the marketing campaign for the water.

Most business travelers that indulge in something “wet & refreshing” usually end up in divorce court…

Ok, that last picture is priceless. This is better than the photo I have from BlogHer where the W has shutters in the bathroom that open to the beds.

If it was a bottle of Fiji water it would have been double the price. Why is Fiji water so expensive? And why does my company only put me up in the lame hotel chains anymore? I’m disgressing… I know.

The shower next to the bed is…. slightly bizarre. I mean, half of it is against carpet for goodness sakes…. lol.

Very, very strange!

Enjoy our little city! Let me know if you need a coffee/cocktail break!

Thanks for the laugh. What a very odd little hotel. Hope you get some rest on your trip :)

I love the water bottle caption. Heh!

awesome visual! good thing you took a pic of that shower/room set up, cause words could not do it justice.

PunditMom October 17, 2007 at 7:55 am

Wow! That’s some swanky place! Do you have to shower with the 3D glasses on?

Busy Mom October 17, 2007 at 8:33 am

Very, um, “interesting” set up there….

I think this is called “when marketing themes go wrong.”

I’m surprised they didn’t put red hot candies or red M&Ms on the nightstand table!

Do you think they wash the lion? I would hate to think someone sleeps with him and puts him back.

Oh, The Joys October 17, 2007 at 10:55 am

Wow. The shower. I would have to stay dirty if I was traveling with anyone. Jeez.

Emily October 17, 2007 at 6:42 pm

Is that so you can shower and watch TV at the same time? I might be into that, but not into watching my husband sleep while I showered, or vice-versa. Talk about a complex! I guess a place with a layout as such needs to make extra pennies where they can with expensive water and sexy gimmicks.

Wow 3-D glasses! I can’t think of the last time I had a pair of those. You are so cool! Why do they give them out for? Is there an IMAX by the hotel?

Trish October 18, 2007 at 9:29 am

you had me at $5.00 water…nice blog

Shannanb aka Mommy Bits October 18, 2007 at 7:06 pm

I can’t believe you were able to resit that water… so wet and delicious looking…..
