Shock! The Mayflower Hotel, a charming old Washington DC institution, apparently doesn't forcibly stop women who may be prostitutes from going up to the rooms of men who may be johns! Attractive women in "stilettos and lacy camisoles" are so out-of-place in downtown DC that the hotel staff play a game called "Guess the Call Girl," where they quietly declare these women to be whores. But even after spotting the loose women, the staff sit idly by and do nothing while innocent men are led down the path of temptation. Disgusting. [NYT]
