In this Hotel Confusion: A Suite of Characters and Other Tragedies with Breakfast Included, we uncover the fauna and flora of a universe that, if it were any funnier, would be a sitcom, and if it were any more tragic, would be a psychological drama. Here, receptionists practice fake smiles, interns serve lukewarm water instead of cocktails, and the doorman has more secrets than the Vatican.

Among aristocratic guests who believe they are descended from royalty (and demand sea views?even in the middle of the city), honeymooning couples discovering that love doesn't always survive a late check-out, and influencers obsessed with proving they are living their best life, it becomes clear that the true hotel experience is a kind of anthropological tourism?where you pay to sleep but get, as a bonus, a front-row seat to the most ridiculous side of humanity.

Get ready to laugh at the misadventures of a chef convinced that a sardine is worthy of a Michelin star, a bartender who spends more time telling stories than making cocktails, and a manager whose sanity depends on hiding from guests the fact that, deep down, nothing is truly under control. In the end, you might just realize that hotels are a mirror of everything brilliant, chaotic, and wonderful about people?with the added bonus that, in this case, you can always ask for a late check-out.
