Sorry, OP, but whats up with you and all co-workers having to stay at a "seen better days" hotel?

Ya, it does appear to look very suspcious.

Ides…"a cat food commercial" ….

Hmm.. it doesn't seem like it would be the obvious because the door was open.. BUT, I have no clue what it would've been.

TMI ahead:

I did a boudoir session for DH as a wedding present but uhh.. I closed the door.

Unless they were trying to cast the roles of "bystanders" with unpaid, unexpecting extras!

Don't you guys know anything? Clearly this couple was filming a digital Christmas card to be sent to their entire family next Christmas!

Sheesh, people here are always missing the obvious.

See, there's the rub... the folks who BOOK the hotel are NOT the ones who have to STAY in the hotel.

So, we're trying to come up with legitimate reasons to NOT stay at this place. This is an annual event, and we've stayed at this hotel for 7(?) of the last 11 years. It is a step up from the last hotel they put us in.

Our (those of us who stay in the hotel) problem is justifying the cost. The rooms at this hotel USUALLY go for ~$60/night. During this event... $350/night, and you have to book Thurs-Fri-Sat night. My company gets ~20 rooms.

Ok, everyone here is just beating around the bush, so I'm just going to take the ball and run and say.......





They were obviously a budget-board family and they had the door propped open because they were carrying hot crock-pots in from the car and you can't do that and open a door. The empty tri-pod is obviously to dry their clothes on, so they don't waste coins in the laundry.


Mystery solved!

I've heard hotels doubling for special events (like New Year's eve etc) but that is like 5 or 6 times the rate-what the heck is this big event?

They were filming ABCs "What Would You Do"

Seriously, if I had to guess, I'd say it was someone shooting a low-budget film. The door was propped so that the equipment could be easily loaded in and out, and the old guy was probably crew. The mystery there would be why do it on the dates when your event was in town; it would make more sense to do it when rooms were cheaper. (Wouldn't necessarily be a skin flick; film students tend to like run-down hotels to create a certain sense of atmosphere.)

True story: Many years ago, DH was once an aspiring filmmaker, and he and his friends used to shoot location scenes without permits. On one occasion they decided to work on an action sequence that depicted someone being pushed off a cliff. They rigged the scene with a dummy and got it in one take -- which happened to be witnessed by someone who lived nearby. The witness called the state police; who started a manhunt for the murderer and sent boats onto the river to look for the dead man. Talk about having some 'splainin to do.

That sounds like a nightmare

All the hotels in the area jack their rate up for the weekend. It's the Kentucky Derby.
