Sam Richardson 16, 2023) - Hotels.com, the official travel sponsor of the NBA, is partnering with comedians and actors Sam Richardson and Ike Barinholtz to play NBA hotel employees in a new ad campaign with the league, set to air during NBA All-Star from February 17–19, 2023.

So when checking in, many celebrities have developed alter egos that allow them to stay at hotels and stay under the radar. However, the funny thing about these aliases is that while they may conceal the celebrity's identity, they can be very revealing.

Actors don't pay for hotel rooms but the actual profit from the movie does. They do get the royal treatment. That does not include extras and background actors. They get to do a lot of work, for little pay (not even minimum wage at times).

Constructed in stages between 1848 and 1870, the three-storey stone building was loosely designed in the Scottish/Loyalist style. The property was designated for its heritage value, by the Township of Centre Wellington, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 2005-011).

Most of the time, actors stay in hotels or rental properties while filming on location. However, some productions may also provide accommodations such as trailers or dormitory-style housing. The type of accommodation often depends on the budget and length of the project.

Hotels take their responsibility to verify the identity of their guests very seriously. If you use a fake ID to check in, there is a significant risk that you will get caught. Hotel staff are trained to spot fraudulent documents, and they will not hesitate to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

The pay is called “top-of-show.” That's the most a show will pay for a guest star actor, unless that person is a name. On network TV, the rate for a one-hour drama is currently $9,522 (eight days of work) and half-hour comedies pay $5,951 (five days of work).

However, what celebrities wear on a day-to-day basis (jeans, dresses, handbags) is usually gifted to them by a brand through public relations agencies. This is a practice called “celebrity seeding.” Think of it like product placement you see in movies and TV shows, just on a Kardashian's (or whoever's) body.

A commercial hotel (or) downtown hotel is one which is located in the heart of the city to cater to the needs of urban customers. These are hotels, where stay is expensive and suitable for fast-moving customers. The duration of stay is short, ranging from one day to seven days.
