The Weird Hotel - seriously - has some pretty unusual employees.
The hotel in Sasebo, Japan opens July 17 and will be manned almost entirely by robots. What started as an effort to cut down on labor costs ended up turning into the world's wackiest hotel.
Upon check-in, guests will be greeted by multi-lingual humanoid and dinosaur receptionists. Other robots in the lobby greet visitors, serve coffee and act as concierge. Robots bring the guests' luggage to their rooms, which, by the way, are opened by face-recognition technology.
