Contrary to popular rumors, the video was actually not shot at the actual Hotel Yorba. "They wouldn't let us in.", [[Jack White]] said. "They thought we were from the IRS or something. It's a really seedy hotel, so I guess we just looked a little too respectable to get a room there. The funniest thing was we were sitting out in the van saying 'Man, we can't get in, I can't believe this', and just then NPR did a review of our new album saying, 'Here's the new song Hotel Yorba.' They started playing, and we were just laughing." [[Meg White]] later said about the video : "When we made "Hotel Yorba" we didn't think that it would get played or anything like that. I love that video as well. What we were doing at that time, it was like really low budget. The director did a good job for that."

The video was directed by Anthony Garth as well as Dan Miller, guitarist/singer of [[Blanche]] and former member of [[Goober and the Peas]] and [[2 Star Tabernacle]]. The video also stars Miller's wife and Blanche bassist Tracee Jae Miller.

-
There are versions of Rated X and Hotel Yorba on the Hotel Yorba single that were recorded at the hotel in room 286 by [[Brendan Benson]].
