Special Services from a Special Torquay Hotel

Plenty of hotels offer special services these days to try and attract the guests: aromatherapy candles in rooms, the latest workout equipment or complimentary city tours. But what they really need to offer is room doors that sleepwalkers just can't open. At least, that's what a guest of the Rutland Hotel in Torquay, England, is now thinking.

While the other guests of the small two-star slept soundly after their days near the ocean, one man spent the small hours wandering the hotel lobby before waking from his sleepwalk at 3am, and finding himself nearly naked (just a vest on top!) in the empty hotel lobby, unable to return to his room. What makes it worse is that he also wasn't wearing his glasses and his bad vision made the only alternative to dial the emergency number on the lobby phone. Devon police said:

Normally we use our priority crime car for slightly more urgent calls. But on this occasion we were happy to help the gentleman in his moment of need.

And the man himself has promised to sleep in a full set of pyjamas in the future. So choose your hotel carefully based on what facilities it offers sleepwalkers, and dress well. You've been warned.
