Line 21:
== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' had a number of adventures regarding love hotels. Akemi luring Godai to one in a failed attempt to get Kozue to dump him (and stir up Kyoko in the process) may be the most notorious.
* The OVA episode of ''[[Please Teacher]]'' featured a visit to a love hotel that was placed in a strangely rural, idyllic area.
* In one episode of ''[[Love Hina]]'', Naru panics when it appears that Keitaro is dragging her towards a love hotel. [[Not What It Looks Like|It turns out]], of course, that he's more interested in the sticker booth. Also, Mutsumi takes Keitaro to one, and he wakes up naked wondering what he's doing there. It seems that Mutsumi is pretty clueless about what they are.
Line 36:
* Used quite frequently in the OVA ''End of Summer''.
* When Kagetora and Beni run away from Beni's father in ''Shinobi Life'', they get stranded at a train station and look for a place to stay. The only option is a love hotel. Kagetora, being from the past (feudal Japan, it seems), has no idea what it is and innocently enters, asking for a room. Beni jumps through all kinds of hoops to keep him from finding out what the hotel is actually for. [[Hilarity Ensues]], followed by [[Mood Whiplash]].
* In the second season of ''[[Darker
* For secrecy/[[The Tease|to annoy his love interest]], Kazuma of ''[[Kaze no Stigma]]'' arranges a meeting with the [[Fair Cop]] at a love hotel.
* Takamura Mamoru from ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'' attempted to drag a girl he hooked up with on a group date. He got outright rejected for it.
Line 53:
* There's a cute scene in ''[[Jab We Met]]'' where the male and female end up at one of these. He knows what it is, she does not. The owner asks him for how many hours does he want the room? The guy tries to tell him "all night", but she protests saying "We only need it for a few hours!" And "Why pay for the whole night?" She is a very pretty, obviously upstanding girl, and the hotel owner beckons the guy closer and whispers "Wherever did you find her?"
* In ''[[City of God]]'', the big robbery by the Trio Ternura occurs in the Brazilian equivalent (a cross between the Japanese and Western ones; it is outside the titular slum, but built for a specific purpose - including mirrored ceilings). There is a humourous moment where one of the gang members walks into one of the rooms and tries to figure out exactly what and how the several people occupying the bed are doing.
** And later in the movie comes a deeply disturbing scene that explains why the Trio Ternura were wanted for mass murder when there was supposed to be no killing.
* In ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]'', Harry and Lloyd stayed in one while on a roadtrip to Aspen.
== [[Literature]] ==
* In [[William Gibson|William Gibson's]] ''[[Idoru (Literature)]]'', several characters rent a room at a Love Hotel, mostly to make use of their room's internet connection.
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
Line 71:
** And as an added bonus, the Shadow tries to accomplish this through a [[Shower Scene]].
** The same thing happens to the [[Gender Flip|female protagonist]], but with one of the male teammates.
** The sequel has everyone staying in one after your homeroom teacher rents it out, completely oblivious to what kind of a place it actually is.
*** [[Really Gets Around|Or not]]
*** For bonus points, [[Mythology Gag|it's actually the same hotel from the last game!]]
