Looking for a Clean Room

If you've ever been in a hotel room, found your child playing with the TV remote and been forced to answer the question "What are Barely Legal Babes?"--there's a website for you. Cleanhotels.com has just begun offering a list of nationwide hotel rooms (15,000 so far) that don't offer pay-per-view porn among their in-room movies. The site was started two years ago by Citizens for Community Values (C.C.V.), a conservative organization based in Cincinnati that compiled a list of Ohio hotels that are porn free. Then Myer Hotels, based in Branson, Mo., stepped in to help expand the project into a listing of smut-free hotels anywhere in the country. The site is still in an early, beta-testing phase, but Chris Myer, the company's interactive boss, sees a big future. "There are a lot of people who want to protect their families from pornography," he says. Adds David Miller, vice president of C.C.V.: "We just want people to have a choice." Already, conservative groups like Concerned Women for America are urging members to consult the website before they hit the road. --By Matthew Cooper
