NASHVILLE, TENNESSE — "A Hilton Hotel manager was arrested and charged Friday for entering a guest’s room and sucking on the customer’s toes.
David Neal, 52, was charged with aggravated burglary and assault for entering a male guest’s room and sucking on his toes Thursday, March 30.
While investigating a complaint, officers discovered that Neal, working as a night manager at the time, made a key card and entered the guest’s room.
The guest then woke up to find Neal sucking on his toes, which he immediately confronted.
The guest recognized Neal because the day before, he came into the room with another employee to fix an issue with the television, the spokesperson informed.
Neal claimed that he entered the room because he smelled smoke and was checking on the victim. However, the night manger did not report this issue to security. Furthermore, no other resident reported smelling smoke.
When officers asked where the room key was, Neal replied that he threw it away, the spokesperson said. The room key was never recovered.
Nashville Police Central Precinct detectives led the investigation and issued warrants against Neal.
He was arrested at his Lebanon, Tennessee, residence.
Neal is currently in jail, to be released on a $27,000 bond."

Would have been a different story if it had been a pretty chambermaid doing the toe sucking. Given a choice between alarm clock and pretty girl sucking my toes I think I'd go for the latter. In fairness guests should be invited to fill out a form showing preferences but that would take the surprise element out of it.

Was the guest walking around barefoot at that time? Granted, most shrimpers may not know what's under the hood till they get a date home, anyway. But to risk something like this implies that Neal got a good luck and saw phalanges paradise.

From USA Today:
Quote:….the wake-up call became less personal over the years, says Chekitan Dev, an associate professor of marketing and branding at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration. It used to be that a person would call you. Then in the late 1980s, hotels turned to automated systems. Then all you'd get was a ring and silence.“This hotel sucks” has just taken on a whole new meaning.
In the ever-competitive race for loyal customers, however, many properties, especially luxury and boutique hotels, are now getting creative with the wake-up call, he says. Some boutique hotels even have recordings of celebrity voices.
Personalizing the wake-up call, Dev says, is an "opportunity to make that one additional brand impression."
