Stacy Wall of Imperial Woodpecker directed this spot which features Hotel.com’s spokesman Captain Obvious discussing the convenience of the Hotels.com mobile app after making flirtatious eye contact with a beautiful woman across a crowded bar. As the woman approaches him, Captain Obvious begins to use the app to book a last minute room. Unfortunately for the Captain, it turns out he won’t need a room.
