Nope. I remember looking for a place in Amsterdam listed in Frommer, called the Hotel Bell. When we found it we giggled because "Hotel Bell" was of course just a sign telling people what button to press to get someone to open the door.
Now can we talk about bad places people have visited in the last three years, costing at least US$50 (or something well above $2, anyway)? Places we might wander into next week, if we weren't fore-warned. (The London Regent mentioned surely isn't part of The Regent chain? At the flip end, Regent HKG gets my vote for the best hotel in the world.)
