There's nothing more luxurious than checking into a hotel, ordering room service and admiring framed photos of actor Jeff Goldblum.

When Seth Freedland made a reservation for he and his girlfriend Amy at The Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica, a hotel employee asked if he had any special requests for his stay.

Freedland says he half-jokingly asked the staff to decorate the room with a few pictures of Goldblum -- only to find out on arrival that his suggestion was taken seriously.

We asked Freedland how the hotel concierge responded when he made this request.

"They took it very seriously. The one hiccup was when we checked in. The front desk clerk understandably didn't know it was a surprise and had me sign a little receipt for it, and said 'for the frames.' Amy shot me a quizzical look and I mumbled something about hotels these days and their weird fees."

Life, uh... finds a way.
