Their bosses booked the team into the Motel Mo.om in the Italian city of Milan but had confused it with the nearby Mo.om Hotel.

I'm surprised that two hotels in the same area are allowed to have essentially the same name.

One is a hotel, while the other is a motel.

The last one is a holiday inn

Is this a test?

I mean if you were in charge of that kind of thing wouldn't you leave it this way on purpose just for the fun of it?

Another user posted that they share the same building too lol

If you check out the motel's web page, they even share the same building and email address.

"Ooh, our normal rooms are overbooked, would you mind one of our sex themed rooms?"

That's the most simple explanation.
