The ‘little people’ would have to settle for Motel 6 in a nearby town after a night out with their married lovers.
SWEDISH BP CHAIRMAN ‘WHISKED MARRIED LOVER ON LUXURY CRUISE AS OIL SPILL CHAOS ERUPTED’

He was brought in as a steady hand to make BP's troubles go away.
But chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg has put the company back into the spotlight, this time with embarrassing revelations about his personal life.
The gaffe-prone Swede is said to have begun an affair with a married mother-of-three just as his own marriage collapsed.
So enamoured was he with Louise Julian that within days of the oil spill erupting, he allegedly whisked her away for a cruise on board his 77-foot luxury yacht, the Cygnus Montanus II.
As millions of gallons spewed into the Gulf of Mexico, the 58-year-old and the Swedish-born blonde were believed to have been sunning themselves on a tour of Thailand, Australia, Bali and Singapore.
They even stopped off at BP's crisis headquarters in Houston as they made their way home from their trip around Asia.
Svanberg was brought in as BP's public face after chief executive Tony Hayward made a string of gaffes including moaning that he 'wanted his life back'.
But he has also blundered and sparked fury when he called those affected by the spill 'little people' whom BP would look after.
In recent weeks he has also shied away from his promise to become the company's figurehead and allowed other directors to take the lead in interviews and TV shows.
