"Oh, we have 12 vacancies. 12 cabins, 12 vacancies." - Norman Bates

Want to get out of your house this holiday season but don't have a lot of cash? Book a room at that crappy hotel down the street!  So what if you can see your house from the window? A vacation is a vacation. Just because most businesses are too busy filing Chapter 11 to slap a couple wreaths to the wall doesn't mean you don't deserve a little holiday cheer. And, thanks to this crippling economic crisis, hotel rooms are on the cheap. Why not take advantage of it?

A word of advice: don't go to Bratislava, Slovakia. If you do - and I don't blame you, the Bryndzové Halusky there is to die for - invest in a good hotel. It's well worth the extra dough. Why? Because, if we're to believe Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino, the hostels in Bratislava are pretty darn terrible. Sure, they're clean and centrally located, but they treat their guests abysmally.

Boy, if I were able to, I'd give the people at Elite Hunting a one-star review on hostelworld.com. That would really show them what's what. Why even one star? Because I have a regrettable soft spot for really hot naked eastern-European girls. Sure, they screw witless American backpackers into a false sense of security so that they can be gored to death with increasingly elaborate torture devices, but I think that their can-do attitude merits at least one measly star. Oh, fine! Zero stars! I guess some people just aren't meant to be in the hospitality business.
