Hey, remember that duck who was just minding his own biz in an Embassy Suites ornamental pool when a crazy guest ripped off his head and threatened to eat it in an Embassy Suites Lobby? Ah, yes, well: it seems an Embassy Suites has erected an homage to him in the form of this hideous basket-y thing.

This is a snapshot from the Embassy Suites Houston, and it was staring at us from behind the coffee maker. Everyone in the room had some commentary about it: "that's something my grandma would have" or, more succinctly, "ew."

We're happy, though, that Embassy Suites has honored Mr. Duck's memory — but this belongs nowhere near the gigantic flat-screen TV and other updated amenities.

Duck or Swan?

When I stayed there a few months ago with my girlfriend, I didn't see the basket pictured but I do remember seeing a couple of live swans in a pond, along with all kinds of swan parafernalia... It sure beats leaving it on the counter.

Who's the Boss?

Antonio,

Nice Moustache. Doesn't beat mine though. I knew there was something I liked about you!!

I've stayed in that hotel before too and I remember the swans in the lobby. Nice touch.
