A lot of hip hotels like to bandy about the names of celebrities who have stayed there. Some will even put them up in exchange for publicity.
But celebrity guests sometimes come with strings attached -- a lot of strings.
"The flip side is some of these celebrities do not how to behave in a civilized manner," said Peter Frank, editor in chief of Concierge.com, which recently published a list of the world's worst hotel guests.
"There are certain celebrities who feel entitled to be above the rules and be treated like demigods," he added, "having diva demands or enormously destructive parties."
Or like actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi, who allegedly skipped out on their final hotel bill. Last week, the Quaids were arrested in Texas after the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department issued a warrant when they failed to pay a bill of more than $10,000 to a local California hotel.
The Quaids claimed it was all a publicity ploy on the part of the San Ysidro Ranch hotel and sent a statement to TMZ, which read in part, "I promise the state of California, Texas does not bother people over hamburgers ordered by room service, supposedly burglarized.
"I promise you, we have paid our bill -- here's a copy of the cashier's check -- and this is all for PR, " they said in a handwritten note.
They included with the statement a copy of a cashier's check which appears dated Sept. 22 for $5,546.96.
The Quaids posted $20,000 bond each on Friday morning, before being released from jail in Marfa, Texas.
According to TMZ, this was not the first time the Quaids allegedly failed to pay their hotel tab. They also stiffed the Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles among other places. According to the Web site, the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department believed the couple, who got married there and was celebrating their 20th anniversary during their latest visit, intended to stiff the hotel, which is why the department issued a burglary warrant.
The Quaids are not the only celebrities with bad hotel etiquette. ABCNews.com took a look at other celebrity bad hotel etiquette.
