Hotel under fire for sex toys in rooms
A TRENDY hotel offering guests a range of complimentary sex toys in their rooms has been criticised, but staff say customers love the move.
The Berns Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden recently expanded the range of items it offers guests from tea and coffee, minibar drinks and a Bible, to include sex toys such as vibrators, handcuffs and stockings.

Local authorities, who have been working with the city's hotels to stamp out prostitution, are furious over the move.
"The hotel is trying to glorify something that we are working to de-glorify," local police officer Tom Eckerling told the Sweden's The Local news.
However the hotel remains defiant, insisting that it has received a positive response from guests.
It has no plans to remove the items from guest rooms. However staff "usually" remove them from rooms used by families, the hotel said.
The hotel insists the sex toys won't attract prostitution.
"There is nothing ugly with sex, that is something that we want to show," the hotel's reception manager Andreas L'Estrade said.
