Bikini Hotel (1997)

There’s not much to say about this movie….really, there isn’t. J.J. North plays a young woman who inherits an old, broken down hotel from her father. She’s at a loss for ideas on how to keep the place out of the hands of the greedy developers across the way and make some money. Sound familiar? Yep, it’s STSWB all over again. Out come the bikini-clad babes to work the desk and clean the rooms, and you’ve got an instant growing base of clients. Julie Strain has a supporting role here; every time I watch this movie I wonder what she was thinking when she signed on for it. She went from action-adventure Andy Sidaris movies to this?? Wow, what a step down!

Oh, one more thing…..don’t miss the opening credits. The female cop is played by none other than famous exotic dancer Fantasia. She only appears at the very beginning and again at the very end, so don’t miss her….but then again, how can you miss her? She gets one scene to shine, so she makes the most of it…she gives some lucky stiff a lap dance, bouncing and wiggling her F-cup breasts all around, then finally putting his head between them!
