HOTEL HELL

August 13, 2012 | By David Bianculli

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: Part 1 of 2. Gordon Ramsay has become the most ubiquitous face on Fox, and here comes his latest series – in which he visits small hotel and bed-and-breakfast establishments and point out room (if not rooms) for improvement. In this two-part opener, he visits an inn in Vermont, and determines that it stinks. Literally. And though Ramsay’s blunt and bullying attitude can make him an unwelcome visitor, he’s one pest who checks in, and does check out. For a full review, read Ed Bark’s account in Uncle Barky’s Bytes.
