“...A surreal comedy that employs an ever-shifting dream logic to explore issues of identity and artistic process. Surrounded by slips of paper with scattered notes, a man attempts to check out of a hotel room and move on with his life, whatever that may be…” 
- Kentucker Audley (NoBudge)                              
“Following an anxious musician who is unable to leave his hotel room, Dan Arnés’s Please Enjoy Your Stay features an exquisite score, a cast of absurd characters, and witty jabs at the vapidity of the music industry.” - Long Distance Film Festival
