Two men were captured escaping a hotel room through a window to avoid paying the accommodation fee in eastern China.

The video, filmed in the city of Dongying in Shandong Province on May 10, shows two men climbing down a bedsheet to reach the ground from a hotel room window.

According to reports, the two men paid the hotel fee for one night but did not check out in time as they went out with their belongings still in their room. So the hotel left the room for them for two nights.

After the two men came back to the hotel at around 3 am on May 10, they said they would pay the fee after packing up their stuff but they used the bedsheet to escape out the window.

Since the accommodation fee was just around 100 yuan (£11), the hotel thought it was not worth calling the police.

5月10日，山东东营，两男子为逃房费，凌晨用床单翻窗溜走。12日，酒店工作人员回应记者称，他们交了一天房租后出门未归，但是行李都在房间，酒店就为他们留了两天房。10日凌晨3点多两人回来，说上楼收拾下东西就下来交钱，结果6点多上去敲门时，发现他俩已经溜了，调取酒店监控才发现借助床单翻窗逃走的。酒店工作人员称，也就100来块钱，不值当报警。（视频由山东台提供）
