I mean, it’s nothing amazing. Honestly, if it was a current book I’d say the plot was severely lacking. It centered mostly on hotel management which was kind of boring,
I admit I did skim on more than a few occasions. What does make up for it is how interesting it is to look back at a different time. It’s a lot of history and a look into the early 1900’s, which was this books redeeming quality, for me. ( )

Standard Sinclair Lewis tale about Myron Weagle and his attempts to create the perfect hotel. Fairly interesting treatment of an inherently boring topic, but by now Lewis has settled down into a disappointing sameness. ( )
