"Hotel Inspector" is the 4th episode of the first season of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. When a hotel inspector inspects the Tipton Hotel, Zack accidentally loses his and Cody's lab rats Bonnie and Clyde, which makes Mr. Moseby lose his job. Zack then enlists the help of Cody, Esteban, and Muriel to get Mr. Moseby back.
Story[]
When a hotel inspector sees Zack's rats running free in the Tipton, she (Ilsa) fires Mr. Moseby. She is a harsh and strict Hotel Manager. Zack wants to undo the trouble that he accidentally caused, so he enlists the help of Cody and Maddie to causse the reinstatement of Moseby. Zack tells Moseby that Ilsa is cruel and strict (which she is) and begs him to come back, but there is nothing that Moseby can do.
Meanwhile, London is celebrating Ivana's birthday with a bunch of dogs. Inspired by a famous painting, London decides that it will be a poker party. Ilsa does not want to let dogs play poker in the hotel, but she has no choice but to let it happen because London's father owns the hotel.
Zack learns about the party and takes advantage of it by letting the dogs free (they were not very good at poker anyway). He also lets the rats free. Then, he rushes to Moseby's apartment and says that Ilsa is allowing dogs and rats to run everywhere. Now furious, Moseby goes back to the hotel and tells Ilsa that she is doing a horrible job as the hotel manager, getting her fired in the process. Moseby is the hotel manager again, though Ilsa vows revenge...
During the credits, Maddie is dressed up as a dog and wins a game of poker against real dogs.

- Moral: Although it's a good start to mending bridges, sometimes a simple apology isn't enough to make everything all better. You have to take responsibility and make active efforts to fix your mistakes.
