Behind the scenes
- Part of the title, Inn Trouble, is a pun on the phrase "in trouble."
- Live action footage was used for the dancing show at Porky's bar. This makes it one of the few Warner Bros. animated shorts to utilize live action.
Errors
- When this short was released on the Looney Tunes Super Stars' Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl DVD, it was cropped down to a widescreen format. While it was restored to full screen on certain streaming platforms, it has not been re-released on home video as of yet.
Legacy
- The gag of Daffy shooting himself in the face was later reused in the 1966 Merrie Melodies cartoon, Feather Finger.
