There's a silver lining in the Eliot Spitzer-HookerGate after all.

The hotel which was the scene of the tryst with call girl Ashley Dupree, The Mayflower Hotel, is doing amazing business with its gift shop wares. The Daily News reports:

Everything from teddy bears ($18.99) to terry-cloth bathrobes ($69.99) marked with the Mayflower's logo has been flying off the shelves of the luxury hotel's tiny gift shop, [hotel spokesman Mark] Andre said.

And people are a little zealous about getting some other mementos from the hotel. Someone even pried off the original Room 871 tag from the wall, forcing the hotel to put up a replacement tag. Yeah, that's a little crazy.

Another service at the hotel that will probably do big business? The weekend romantic getaway which the hotel spokesperson also plugged. It's not just for couples of the traditional sort.  Call girls and johns welcome too!
