Extended Stay: Really clean or super dirty?

08:00 PM PT, Aug 4 2008

Before I give any of this away, maybe you should watch the entire video first and meet me after the jump. Nobody likes spoilers, and this video sorta speaks for itself...

OK so apparently that was a little bit of viral video for Extended Stay hotels. The questions that arise as one watch this are plentiful. Here's my short list

- Did the actress oversee the cleaning of this room before she shot the spot?
- Does the chain really believe that all of their rooms would pass the white glove test, let alone the sexy tongue test?
- Why on God's green earth would she lick the flat screen tv?
- Why didn't she lick the door handle inside the room?
- But are the towels clean?
- Would the CEO of Extended Stay lick all of those things in a random room at a random property of his?
- Where is the disclaimer saying "test track, closed course, professional licker, don't actually try this"?
- And finally, from the comments of Boing Boing, "Notice that her hair, which falls in the bowl, is still dry when she raises her head. That leads me to believe that it is a new, never used model that is just a prop".

Either way, pretty hot, sorta dirty, all while trying to convince us that motel rooms should be clean but probably aren't as clean as we would want them to be.

I've been looking for months on Craigslist for a girl that will come to my house and do that. How much does a half hour of that cost?

It's a real hotel room. i worked for that company for many years before leaving this summer. ESH didn't have extra rooms they just used as production models. That girl made $25K for that bit. And believe me, that room was cleaned within in inch of its life.

LOL, Dude that was like totalyl crazy!

My God. I hope they cleaned after she left. Every time I stay in a hotel I'm suspicious that everything has had tongue all over it.

Is this before or after they cleaned up the ricin? I hope that she is okay after this shoot.

I worked on their website...didn't know extay.com redirected to the actual URL.

Interesting commercial too. Would ESH really put this commercial out there or is it a definite spoof?

Somehow her licking really turns me on.

did they clean the room before the next occupant?

That girl did not get paid $25K. It is; however, a real room with props and new furnishings. This is a viral campaign folks. An entire budget for a production like this is lucky to be over $20K. Get your facts straight.

I clean hotel rooms as a living and after seeing the kind of stuff I have, there is no way I would lick any object in a hotel room no matter how well cleaned it had been.

I have stayed in extended stay rooms and they were always very very clean.

That's disgusting!

I am the girl from the video, i got Herps, and Hep a,b,c and now i'm dieing.

Here's the real question: How do you know someone didn't perform a "clean test" on the room you stay in? Given the places she's "testing," does anyone really think a maid would clean some of those spots, like, ever?

She wasn't "sexy tongue testing", she was just calling dibs!

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

I like my women just a little on the trashy side....perfection.

Extended Stay, you say? Something definitely "extended," right up until the bathroom licking. That part was nasty.

Are you kidding me? Every Extended Stay that I've ever had the misfortune staying at were extremely dirty, stains on pillows, mattresses, etc. Go to one of the extended stay's here in the bay area in Cali and try that... you'd probably contract every disease known to man. The motel 6's are cleaner. I think I threw up in my mouth a little after watching that.. Simply gross.

One very brave girl!

American women are dirty!!!

This viral is a total ripp off from a spoof spot a director Kamilla once made. Check it out and see for yourself.

Sitting in a hotel room right now, was just thinking of how gross everything in the room it, which led me to this blog, and wow, that's just nauseating.
