The Hildale, Utah compound built for jailed FLDS Church pedophile polygamist prophet Warren Jeffs and now owned by his former bodyguard has just opened as a hotel, called America's Most Wanted Suites and Bed & Breakfast. From NBC News:


(Willie) Jessop, who once served as a spokesman for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), said he refused to defend his former boss when he found out what Jeffs had done and was excommunicated. He bought the compound for $3.6 million at an auction last year after winning a lawsuit against church leaders…


Jessop wanted to convert Jeffs' private residence, which was built adjacent to the main building, into a museum but decided instead to use it for housing for locals in need. It's now home to a family whose house burned down, he said.

Here's what appears to be the hotel's Web page.
