Only slightly off topic - In Folly Beach, SC there is a Holiday Inn that actually is a Holiday Inn (Holiday Inn Oceanfront is the formal name).

Down the street, literally 2-3 blocks away, is another property: The Holliday Inn

http://www.hollidayinnfollybeach.com/

"Thank you for your interest in the Holliday Inn of Folly Beach. We are a small friendly Inn, not affiliated with the large hotel chain. Our size and location offers a unique private setting for guests to relax and enjoy the beach, while avoiding the crowds of larger hotels. We have 14 rooms all with heat & air conditioning, full baths, phones, and cable TV."

I don't know how they get away with it - imagine showing up at this place with your family only to find out you've been duped!
