Sherry Netherland , a well - mannered monster , ran the hotel , assisted by Ingrid , Humphrey , and bellhop Benny Rabbit . The Furry Arms was one of the few exterior street sets specifically built to puppet scale , rather than to accomodate both puppets and human cast members ( although human guests occasionally appeared inside ) . As a result , in Episode 3139 , when Gordon and Susan chose to spend the night at the Furry Arms Hotel , they had to bend over when they went through the revolving door , and also had trouble getting their suitcase through the door . Other puppet - scale sets , like Ernie and Bert ' s Apartment , existed primarily as interiors . Not unlike other hotels , the Furry Arms has an elevator for easy access to upper floors . Unlike most hotels , the elevator is run by Otis , the elephant elevator operator . The hotel also houses an indoor pool and a lounge area . Food at the hotel comes in a variety of dishes , including raw fish ( for penguins and seals ) , hay and oats , and extravagant dishes such as peanut butter goulash . Ernestine the Telephone Operator works at the Furry Arms , busy connecting many of the calls to other lines ( including Miss Cooney ) . The direct - to - video release " 123 Count with Me " features the Furry Arms as the primary location , and some of the odd hotel workings are revealed . For example , instead of ringing a bell on the desk clerk ' s desk , one can ding the bell of Mr . Dinger a certain number of times and have Benny run errands , depending on the number of dings . When dinged once , Benny brings one cup of ice . If you ding it twice , Benny brings two towels . Three dings results in three pillows , and five will present five bars of exclusive Furry Arms soap ( with lanolin ) . If you ding ten times , Benny will bring ten glasses of milk , and fourteen rings will call for fourteen suitcases . If you ding fifteen times , Benny will bring fifteen elephants . When the Around the Corner set was dropped in Season 30 , the Furry Arms Hotel only began to make occasional appearances ( in inserts ) , most likely having moved to another location .
