Well, that didn't take long. Last week, we passed along several hotel-related items from one of Craig Ferguson's stand-up routines. Craig, as his fans call him, had especially harsh words for the vibe at The Clift in San Francisco, including its purported "oranges in a birdcage," the existence of which we were unable to confirm. He also said he preferred places like the Ramana Inn.

Something told us he might be, um, joking--about staying in Ramadas, that is. And we were right. During last night's monologue, Craig said he'd stayed in a "great" hotel when he was Toronto for the Festival of Laughs over the weekend. And that hotel turned out to be The Germain Hotel, a boutique hotel if there ever was one. Why, he's so crafty. No wonder he has his own late late night show.

The Germain is one of the The Germain Group's five hotels in Montr�al, Toronto, Qu�bec and Calgary. A sixth, Germain Maple Group, is under development in Toronto.

From the looks of The Germain's website, which reveals sleekly modern rooms decorated in a natural-tone palette, Craig seems to have respectable taste in hotels after all. In addition to Craig's thumbs-up, The Germain gets prodominantly positive reviews on TripAdvisor.

Craig's latest hotel comments, plus a few hotel tips, after the jump.Here's the full text--well, almost the full text, part of what he said was unintelligible--of what Craig had to say about hotels last night.

And I was staying at this great hotel. It was called The Germain Hotel. But the hotel was mobbed with people there for the festival. So I signed under a name that no one would recognize. You know, Craig Ferguson. When you travel as much as I do, you learn these hotel tricks. Always use a discreet name. Always leave a space in your bag, so you can steal the hotel bathrobe. When the porn shows up on your bill, deny, deny, deny. Always deny.

With that, the audience went wild. As for stealing those hotel bathrobes, we suspect that he was, um, joking.

i hear he's dating sharon stone. i wonder what she must be like as a hotel guest. worse than oprah maybe?

Ha. I don't know where Perez Hilton got that one. A gossip thrift store? It's a recycled rumor. Craig seems to have a steady girlfriend, an art dealer, with whom he reportedly lives. He's not saying. He won't discuss his personal life, on the show or in interviews. The ladies really go for him. There seems to be an infatuated nutcase at each of his live shows.
