    Howie here, Howie Mantel that is.Certified Germaphobe freak here. I have some great tips on your next stay at the Red Roof Inn. Here’s what you need to do: Bring a crew of 12-34 (depending on size of room) cleaning company people. Hire “hotel expert” Anthony Melchiorri (heard he is packing heat down there) 😉 bring in that bed bug dog of his. Hire 12-34 (depending on size of room) general contractors to tear down the room. Rebuild room. Hire the same cleaning crew to clean up the germs from the general contractors. Sleep.
