Why 'Hotel Impossible' star likes a good roadside motel
You'd think a guy like Anthony Melchiorri, host of Travel Channel's "Hotel Impossible," would settle for nothing less than luxury hotels when he travels.
But Melchiorri, entering his seventh season as the fixer of failing hotels, says he'd just as soon stay in a roadside motel if it's got good reviews online.
"Those are mom and pops that are working their butts off," Melchiorri said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "They live in the back of the hotel, they get up in the morning, they put out fresh flowers, they make you breakfast ... I can't wait to meet that owner. I can't wait to have their breakfast. I can't wait to sleep in that bed.
