When Ryan O'Connell went to stay for a week at the glamorous Chateau Marmont hotel last summer, he didn't quite know what to expect. Would he become instant BFF's with Lindsay Lohan and do lines of coke off of John Belushi's ghost? Would he have vacuous sex in the hotel elevator with Benicio Del Toro, just like Scarlett Johansson once did during an Oscars after-party? Or would he just be really, really bored like Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning were in the movie, Somewhere?

The answer, it turned out, was none of the above. After spending seven days running around the hotel looking for drugs, sex, and expensive salads, Ryan realized just how bizarre the Chateau Marmont actually was. And after capturing what he saw there, he can pretty much guarantee that he'll never be allowed back in again. Chic.

An interesting look at celebrity snobbery, good for the author for exposing this disgusting way that hotels and in particular LA discriminates against people.

Thought this was going to be fun and enjoyable. Just really dull and sounds like a long email with complaints in it. Also the narrator is painful to listen to. Not an ear friendly voice.
Shame I wasted a credit on this. Won’t be so fast and loose with them again taking a punt

Dull and pointless
