Because the cast to me is average-looking, and the production values aren't up to the usual standard, I was dismayed by this production at first, then I realized that the director was not, as I had presumed, Hervé Handsome, but instead someone named Louis Handsome. Trading on the Handsome name (in addition, the producer is listed as Patrick Handsome, apparently there are many Handsomes in Europe) is a risky venture in my view, as Hervé Handsome's body of impressive work is far better than "Hotel Hunk," which is average at best.
The cast works earnestly and diligently, and the action is decent, which helps to overcome the many technical shortcomings. The decision was to go for quantity rather than quality, with five extended scenes and 17 different actors in the cast, and every sex scene involves at least three studs. And, unfortunately, these poor guys are subjected to perhaps the most unflattering opening credits I have ever seen: bathed in lighting that is either too harsh or too shadowy, making all their worst features show up in clinical detail (Joseph Lewis, normally a great-looking guy, looks like the "before" picture in an ad for cold sore medication).
The most impressive performers are blond muscle studs Randal Seldon and Lazar Long, who perform in the first scene, and well-endowed brunet stud Cole Powers, who is always fun to watch. Averil Morris, a cute dark-haired twink, joins in on the scene with Randal and Lazar, making a nice triangulation of sex that includes daisy-chain sucking, a spit roast three-way with Lazar getting fucked by Randal while Averil shoves his dick in Lazar's mouth, and Averil getting his ass plundered by Randal from behind. Anticlimactic pop-shots that end the scene,
Cole rubs the sleep from his eyes in bed with his blond, curly-haired partner Langdon King (a real cutie, indeed) when the room service waiter (Fergus Smart) walks in and helps himself to a serving of Cole's early morning hardon. In the ensuing three-way, Cole enjoys both Langdon and Fergus's charms, and his huge cock looks amazing in close-ups as he drills each dude separately, but the bright light in the room and the oddly greenish tint onscreen don't do the studs any justice.
In the hotel's kitchen, longhaired twink Preston Hill, playing a chef, gets steamed while watching fellow chef Daren Dune kiss hot and heavy with Zeb Kelly. I'm pretty sure the Health Department would disapprove of the three-way action that takes place right next to the food prep area, but then this is Eastern Europe, so maybe they have different standards. Preston is the one to watch in the scene, and his very long, uncut dick accentuates his lanky body. Preston pops a big load as he is being fucked, followed by another as his playmates shoot their cream on his tightly muscled torso.
Joseph stars in an orgy that takes place in one of the rooms. Joseph's silver-dollar-size, dark brown nipples almost (but not quite) made me forget about the big red splotch on his upper lip, and his buddies don't seem to mind it at all. The scene features side-by-side suck action followed by the same arrangement in a four-way fuck. There's also some very tentative rimming included. The finale includes an out-of-focus cum-shot that almost had me reaching for my glasses (but then I remembered I had Lasik a few years ago, and that it was just an ineptly captured pop-shot).
At this hotel, the staff wear tight T-shirts and jeans before they tear them off to have sex with the guests, which is the set up for the next scene, starring Murray Peterson as a chambermaid who looks more like a tattooed love stud. Malik Romero and Jules Terry are the guests who ask for a little extra service, and get it. Much of the action here is shot in ultra close-up, which doesn't work very well for a three-way, because it's impossible to see what the third actor is doing much of the time. However, if you want to be able to count the number of pubic hairs a particular stud has under his balls, it's aces.
Outside the room, buff and adorable Dylan Vargas peeps the action through the keyhole and jerks his cock. Dylan is easily the most attractive and best-built hunk in the entire hotel (not to mention one of the best hung), his solo is one of the best parts of the entire production.
