Personality Hotels for choosing the fashionably cryptic name "M-31."
If they had instead adopted "Messier 31," potential guests might
presume mistakenly that the hotel suffers from poor maid service...


Or that a guest may find a carton of used hockey pucks between the sheets...



Nah, that would be Messier -- 11.
