Ads on Hotels:In the Eye of the Beholder?


Friday, April 25, 2008

bkhoteljoliead424.jpgHotel Chatter thinks that Brooklyn's Hotel Jolie is a less promising place to stay now that they've sold out the side of their building to a Grand Theft Auto IV ad (other minuses: the hotel is next to an abandoned gas station and the website includes a Manhattan beauty shot that still has the World Trade Center). But back to the ad. . . . is it really that much of a turn-off? Maybe it's just the type of ad rather than the ad itself. For comparative purposes, a lingerie-filled example from an LA hotel after the jump. Better, worse, or the same?
