125 Rooms of Comfort is a 1974 Canadian drama film directed by Patrick Loubert.[1]

The film stars Tim Henry as Billie Joyce, a gay former musician who has been involuntarily institutionalized in an asylum by his family since showing up to his father's funeral in drag. When his father's will leaves him possession of a smalltown hotel in St. Thomas, Ontario, he returns home intending to sell the hotel to American real estate developer Oscar Kidd (Robert A. Silverman), but soon finds himself in the position of defending the rights of the hotel's staff against Kidd's renovation plans.[2]
