Normally, quotations around a word in English like this imply double meanings. I feel badly for this hotel for unknowingly making their cautionary request into a joke.

Do I even need to try and make a joke here. I submit to you that I do not. While Borat was a silly and fun movie, even this engrish masterpiece goes far beyond what the director could have imagined.
