Tim complains about modern hip hotel staff floating around lobbies instead of manning their stations, contrasting them with old-school Marriotts with buffet breakfasts and carpeted rooms, and mocking the new "bistro" branding.
- Tim explains his philosophy of yelling at hotel workers to help them grow as people.
- Front desk staff in L.A. hotels float around the lobby instead of standing behind the desk where guests can find them.
- Tim prefers old Marriotts with carpets, thick bedding, Sears paintings, and breakfast buffets over modern trendy hotels.
- Comedy Central put him up at the Ace Hotel in New Orleans, which he describes as a dark, decrepit space that made him want to hang himself.
- He checked out immediately and moved to a regular Hilton with families and omelet stations where nobody was cool or hip.
- Marriott Courtyards now serve food as a "bistro"—just burgers in boxes with pretentious names like brioche and flatbread.
- The new hotel attitude features employees who don't seem like employees and float around looking cool instead of working.
- Guests have to ask three different people if they actually work there, surrounded by guys with their chest hair out trying to seduce someone.
