a fabulous pacy read about the trials and tribulations of a hotel struggling to survive. The characters are all memorable and well described. Some surprises along the way and a fitting end
A typical Hailey novel with an unusual setting, lot of colorful characters and their lives intertwining thus providing an entertaining story.
A lot can happen at a hotel in five days.
I am obsessed with behind-the-scene peeks into places, so this book that so clearly shows us the inner workings of a hotel was very enjoyable for that. I liked the way that the plot-lines were all woven together, and enjoyed the complex greys of the characters actions. However, I found some elements predictable, the female characters one-dimensional, and found the brief relationship between a nineteen-year-old girl and the thirty-something protagonist troubling, even if they only shared a kiss or two.

Unforgettable characters and events. I was totally drawn into this novel and enjoyed every moment.
