John Cleese Blasts Omni Hotel in Providence for Room Being Too Cold

Comedian John Cleese famously played a hotel proprietor in the BBC series, Fawlty Towers.

This weekend while staying in Providence for his show at The Vets, Cleese had something to say about his accommodations at the Omni Hotel downtown. 

"I am staying in the Omni hotel in Providence, RI. My room is cold. They can do nothing to warm it other hotels provide me with a heater. They can’t do this at it would be a fire hazard! They point out that they have 562 rooms. Perhaps I should have stayed in a small hotel," Tweeted Cleese.

Apparently, Cleese’s social media chastising garnered a reaction from the management at the hotel chain — but not without Cleese calling out his own position of privilege — and the shortcomings of “corporate America.”

"My tweet worked the room is now warmer. Because I have the power to tweet but NOT of course because I am a member of the public. So much for corporate America!" he then Tweeted.
