I rated this one-star lower than Wilfair because the slow pace and repetition bothered me a tiny bit. It threatens the freshness of the quirky point-of-view and undermines the impact of the strange doings inside and outside of the hotel. That being said, the romance in this novel won me over. This is absolutely what it feels like to be a late-bloomer in love, or anyone in love. This novel is crazy and joyous and hits all the right notes.
