Rock Stars Versus iBankers

Every now and then, we like to break apart some of the hotel myths circulating the industry today and figure out what is fact and what is fiction--journalists call it fact checking...we think.

Luckily, people on the inside email us. A super secret HotelChatter tipster, who just so happens to work at a New York hotel which we can not name, has been willing to talk--with a bit of Sayid-like torturing of course.

We will keep asking our super secret tipster questions on a weekly basis until our tipster is fired or tortured to death. Enjoy.

HotelChatter:
Do rock stars really trash their hotel rooms? We have heard much hype about said musicians destroying hotels.

Super Secret Hotel Insider:
These musicians actually work hard, and are pretty tired when they get back to the hotel. They also have tour managers who guarantee the rooms with their personal credit card. Any damages wil come right out of the artists paycheck.

Sadly, it's the cocaine-fueled wall street guys that end up f--king shit up.

This is their one big night out, too many guys, no chicks. They get drunk, and forget that we have their Amex card on file, and that registration they signed at check-in, but didn't read, is really a mini-contract. Technically everything in the room is available for purchase. You eat the bag of pretzels in the minibar, you get charged 12 bucks. Its the same with the $800 tv, or the $2000 chair.

So kiddies, we have learned an important lesson today. Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll is actually a kinder, more gentler lifestyle than that of the Wall Street Bolivian Marching Powder Band.

Oh yeah, and hotels love to overcharge you for pretzel snacks. ...till next time.
