Plot

Squidward and SpongeBob are walking to work, and they realize something is wrong with the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs has turned it into a hotel, with the original building now on top of a large tower. Krabs explains that while he was on vacation, he was shocked by his outrageously high hotel bills (mostly shocked at a $25 hamburger he had), and realized how much money hotels must make. He says that the employees there lived by a code: "We shall never deny a guest even the most ridiculous request", which was on a gold plaque above a fireplace in the hotel he stayed at.

A normal customer enters to buy a Krabby Patty, but leaves after he learns that he must book a hotel room to eat there. Patrick soon arrives, and becomes the hotel's first guest. When Squidward carries Patrick's bags, he tries to take the guest elevator, but Mr. Krabs stops him and explains that he must take the "employee elevator", which is in fact a staircase. After many ridiculous requests, Squidward gets very mad, ad quits his job.

He walks out the door and comes back as a vacationer instead of an employee, asking several very ridiculous requests of Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob for the purpose of abusing them. After getting an indoor swimming pool, Patrick jumps in, and the force causes the hotel to collapse, leaving only the original Krusty Krab standing.

Patrick, SpongeBob, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs luckily survive, but end up in the hospital with massive injuries. When Mr. Krabs sees the hospital fee ($15,000), he tells Squidward, SpongeBob and Patrick that they are going to medical school.
