Man makes impressively bizarre hotel request, hotel delivers

Well played.

Making special requests when booking a hotel isn't exactly uncommon.

Maybe you'd like a wake-up call, for instance, or some room service. Perhaps you'd like toothpaste. What's less common, though, is asking specifically for a photograph of actor Christopher Walken.

Last week, Daniel Buckley booked a room at the Pembroke in Kilkenny, Ireland.

"When booking I felt mischievous so Luke Murphy and I wrote a strangely specific request for my room," he wrote on Facebook. "They've only gone and bloody done it!"

Here's Buckley's request:

"We would like a FRAMED photo of Christopher Walken (signed if possible) from Pulp Fiction, as my father was an assistant to Mr Walken for this film and this was his greatest accomplishment," reads the 'special request' section. "We like to be reminded of this!"

And boy, did the hotel deliver.

Splendid work, Pembroke Hotel. Splendid work.

Christopher Walken would be proud.
