The Hotel Inspector

Alex Polizzi heads to the West Midlands to answer an SOS from 60-year-old entrepreneur Stephen. His once-beloved family home, a 500-year-old farmhouse, is now a 10-bedroom hotel that is limping along at just 23 per cent occupancy, and he's struggling to understand why. Poor signage, no blinds in her room, and a lack of privacy are just some of the issues Alex addresses.

In the Devon town of Totnes, Alex Polizzi has been called to help Toni, a 74-year-old musician and music teacher who is desperate to save her home, Appalachian Spring bed and breakfast. The business is stuck in a bygone era and is on the brink of collapse. Unless Alex can help Toni turn her B&B around, she will be forced to sell the home she loves.

Alex Polizzi heads to the Sussex coast and to Bognor Regis to check into The Navigator, a once-proud seafront hotel now fighting for survival. Owner Kathleen is drowning in debt, battling constant leaks and crumbling rooms, and running herself ragged trying to keep up with guests, builders, and family life. Can Alex help turn things around?

Alex Polizzi visits the sleepy Suffolk village of Monks Eleigh, coming to the rescue of publicans Steven and Julie whose lifelong dream of running a village pub is turning into a nightmare. The Swan is the only pub in the village and the couple are desperate to make their dream work. However, after being forced to close the kitchen they're struggling to get people through the doors without a food offering.
