Storyline

Mona cheerfully visits the hotel her brother Cornelius Robinson invested all their savings in, only to find it's a miserably-run dump. Still, she's charmed enough by happier hotel-memories and the hunky naive bell-hop-waiter to give it a go, making the most of experience and people-skills.
