Sox Shuffle Continues
A new "couples only" hotel may be coming to Midlothian, and residents say the hotel does not belong in a residential area and fear the hotel could bring prostitution to the area. One resident told the Sun-Times, "We're all for business here and it may sound silly. And maybe we're being fussy. But I don't want any midnight stenographers around here."
The Ambiance Hotel website promises "Passion and Privacy."
The developer of the project is the Sottrel Hotel Group, which owns the Ambiance Inn & Suites in Franklin Park. That hotel features fantasy rooms including some with mood lighting, mirrors on the ceilings and walls and oversized tubs and showers.It also offers romantic gifts, lotions and novelties, and rents rooms overnight or for mid-day "siestas."
The Ambiance Suites website features some, er, "romantic" music and photos of roses and chocolates and rooms with hot tubs. Sp it has to be classier than the Heart O' Chicago Motel, right?

Are the sybaris pool suites not enough!?!?
"midnight stenographers"?? That's one I've not heard before.
yeah wtf.
What the hell is a "midnight stenographer"? Even Google doesn't know.
Band Name Alert!
Is that like "Don't open the door! I'm stenographing!!!"
That means they come there late at night and take "dick-tation".
HA!!! Awesome.
A shorthand job?
I've no idea why I find this so incredibly hysterical. Please check out the Ambiance Club page. You must be a member to purchase goods and "services" and the big benefit is that only ID numbers are recorded at check-in. No names, addresses or other "lengthy information."
Whoever has that member list has a kid that got into U of I. At the very least.
From the Web site: "Siesta rates are 4 hour get-away rates."
Because the "How's About I Just Bend You Over and F*** You So I Can Get Back Home Before Dinner Rate" didn't fit on the rate sheet.
True story, my grade school principal was a ginormous middle-aged woman with, I kid you not, a huge hairy mole on her nose. Now I'm not going to being be mean about that just to be mean, she was also a compulsive bragger and over-sharer.
She let slip, to a room full of parents and kids during our summer carnival, that she and her husband "Loved a good nookie motel getaway."
To this day, every time I hear about a "couple's" no-tell motel I picture that woman...and nookie.
Today, I am a eunuch.
So that's how you spell "eunuch."
What, is one of the neighbors James Ellroy or something? Midnight stenographer. That's awesome.
This is just an American version of Asian "Love Hotels." They are very popular in Japan and Taiwan. Crowded cities with a large, young population = no privacy, so the hotels serve a real function, and they are conveniently located. Here in the U.S., I don't think such places are as necessary or convenient.
Not exactly true; in the current economic climate there's a lot of people either moving back in with their parents (or unable to move out) and the living situation isn't exactly conductive to romance. Personally, I think it's a good idea and these people are just being ridiculous.
Sounds great! Good times for all interested.
