Scandalous Sleep-Ins

Thursday September 29, 2005
Typically, what goes on behind closed hotel room doors remains a private affair. But when the police, the media or even the FBI show up, all bets are off.

USA Today has a great rundown of a few hotel scandals and the rooms made famous by them. It's a travel guide to the odd and macabre: book the room where Sid Vicious stabbed his girlfriend to death, where Jim Belushi died of a drug overdose, where Jim Bakker and Jessica Hahn brought down the PTL Club with their tryst.

If peace, love and understanding is more your speed, sleep in the spot where John and Yoko had their "bed-in" for peace.
