Not that we're trying to take the burden off our own reporting, but being told about a new hotel feature still rocks our world. Yesterday, reader <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/user/vinolover">Pam</a> sent in this photo of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Do%20Not%20Disturb%20Signs">Do Not Disturb Signs</a> at the renovated <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/AFFINIA+MANHATTAN/local/2396">Affinia Manhattan</a>which, we should add, we toured and reviewed <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/7/13/182951/143/hotels/New_Rooms_Blossom_At_The_Affinia_Manhattan">here</a> back in July. One reads, 'the day is short,' the other, 'the night is long.' Coupled with the nifty flower designs in the rooms, we find these little placards pretty cute!

Is Changing Your Do Not Disturb Sign a Security Risk? One Inventor Thinks So

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/donotdisturbwheel.jpg" class="top"> Funny. We've always thought that the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Do%20Not%20Disturb%20Signs">Do Not Disturb</a> signs that hotels hang from the doors were a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-photos/full/28/The+Best+of+The+Do+Not+Disturb+Signs">collector's item</a> but it turns out they could be a security risk.Or so believes Tyler Marquardt, a designer who's up for contention on the show Shark Tank, where inventors approach investors including Mark Cuban (owner of the NBA champs, the Dallas Mavericks) for money to get their inventions out in the marketplace.Marquardt's idea, according to this <a href="http://www.connecttristates.com/news/story.aspx?id=628920">news report</a>, is to place a message wheel right above the hotel room door's peephole. The wheel can be turned or adjusted from inside the room so that folks don't have to open their door to change a door tag

Las Vegas: Has Hooters Lost Some of Its (No) Knockers?

So, the other night we stayed at Hooters. Yeah, Hooters in Vegas. For only $20! While you can read our full review on VegasChatter, we thought it was crucial to update you on the Do Not Disturb Sign situation.

It appears the "No Knockers" DND signs are on the outs. Instead, we found this boring DND sign hanging from our door. Boooo.

What's probably happened is that folks have been swiping the No Knockers ones during their stay and Hooters decided to spend its money on something that doesn't need constant replacing.
