Our BFFs over at theTravel Channelare launching an exciting new series on April 9 calledHotel Impossible-- and we got to come along for the ride! The one-hour program, airing on Mondays at 10 PM ET, will show Melchiorri critiquing online reviews[Ed. note: Like how awesome Oyster.com's are?!],monitoring service practices, and making decisions on a hotel's structure, ultimately renovating of a part of the hotel. But before the series starts airing -- and we anxiously await the results of the hotels' renovations -- we were able to check in with the show's host, Anthony Melchiorri, and find out what he prefers when he's on the road.
