A poster at the World Literature Forum reviews The Little Hotel.
The poster writes:
In a letter Stead once complained that she couldn't write "positive" characters. It was not her talent. Aside from the hotel owner no one here comes off as very pleasant, and even she is less a saint than a practical businesswomen. Reprehensible characters, sick, neurotic, or insane, Stead had a special gift for. The joy of The Little Hotel lies in her little portraits.
