Barnwell Hotel Guests Panic -- Gay Twitter Wonders What the Problem Was

Move over, Florida: 

A 31-year-old Williston, S.C., man named Marcus Holloway was arrested at the Creekside Lodge in Barnwell after allegedly roaming the halls at 3 a.m., knocking on random doors asking if he could “use their shower” and “have a little fun.”

While I may not know what Marcus's face looks like, like most gay men if a guy with a body like that showed up at my hotel room barefoot, work-tired, and asking to “have some fun,” the last thing I’d be doing is calling the sheriff. (I’d be straightening the bedspread and lighting a candle.)

Marcus later told deputies he’d been sleepwalking -- although he strong smell of alcohol painted more of a Fire Island-at-4 a.m. picture.

He was a registered guest, just one who apparently took the sharing is caring concept a little too far.

No one was harmed, though several guests reportedly demanded room changes -- which feels like either an overreaction or a failure of imagination.

Marcus was booked for disorderly conduct and public intoxication. The investigation continues, although the real question remains: Were people upset because he was knocking, or because he wasn’t knocking on their doors?

Marcus, if you ever need a shower again, you’re welcome to knock on mine.
