No, you are not very subtly implying that adultery is fashionable.

There’s enough biological material already crawling around on hotel bedspreads without encouraging more.
I recently stayed at a Courtyard Marriott in Houston and had to request a Bible from the front desk. It was the first time I’d ever stayed at a hotel where Scripture wasn’t a standard item.
Dark times are coming, FRiends.
That’s gross.
Does this mean nice hotels are going to start charging by the hour?
I don't think a Gideon's in the nightstand is going to do a lot to keep brothels from being brothels. Seems sad to see them go, though.
Buy inexpensive Bibles wholesale and/or from some of your discount stores.
Leave a Bible in one of the chest of drawers or night stand — preferably in a bottom drawer (less checked) at the hotel or motel you are staying at.
Replacing the comfort of the handy Bible is the convenience of an iPod docking station, a flat-screen TV, a selection of underground music, a complimentary goldfish, or in some edgier hotels – an intimacy kit, according to a recent Newsweek article.
“So it turns out that the real story is not just the absence of the Bible in many hotel rooms, but the presence of very different materials, from complimentary condoms to erotic dice games,” Mohler noted. “That does help to explain things.”
The Sofitel hotel brand, for instance, is changing its image to cater to the younger, less-business oriented – and apparently less religious – generation of clientele. The Sofitel chain, which once had Bibles in every guest rooms, recently removed them when guests questioned why other religious texts weren’t available, according to Newsweek.
Even the Marriot hotel chain, founded by a Mormon, is questioning whether it should include Bibles in its upcoming boutique chain, which Marriott spokesman John Wolf describes as “cutting-edge,” “more urban” and “less values-oriented,” according to the magazine.

On Christmas Eve 1968, the astronauts of the Apollo 8 mission read from the first part of Genesis during a live television broadcast from lunar orbit. A Japanese correspondent staying at a Houston hotel while covering the mission called NASA Public Affairs to request a copy of the speech that the astronauts were reading. The Public Affairs official asked where he was staying and then told him that if he opened the desk drawer in his room he would find a book and that he should open it to page one. The reporter found the Gideon Bible and later reported that “NASA Public Affairs is very efficient - they had a mission transcript waiting in my hotel room.”

How about, "When you'd sleep with anyone. Come sleep with us."?
From Gideons to Gid-id-ons ?
Glenn Beck and Trace Atkins were discussing this the other night on Beck’s show...Trace talked about how upset he would be if his young boys found the kit and wanted to know what it was.
Now every room can be a Bill Klinton Presidential Suite!
This is why I sleep Snoopy Style when I am not in my own bed.
Nothing like advertising to be what my father-in-law always called a ‘hot-pillow motel”.

It is just solidifying the hotel as a place for extramarital sex.
It remindes me of an old story about a investor who set up a cruise ship for short 3 and 4 day cruises. He wanted to know why families were not taking advantage of the short cruises as he originally intended. A little investigation reveale it was being used as a no tell getaway for bosses to take their secretaries for affairs. (it was VERY long ago)
Isn’t the Marriott owned by the Mormons? I thought I heard that somewhere.
*Intimacy kits* for *one night stands* just don’t seem to fit with their family oriented values.
