The Law of Hotel Life; or, the Wrongs and Rights of Host and Guest

"The Law of Hotel Life; or, the Wrongs and Rights of Host and Guest" by R. Vashon Rogers is a humorous story set in the late 1800s about a newly married couple who learn the ins and outs of hotel rules and the duties of innkeepers. The story follows the pair on their honeymoon, where they plan to relax at a cozy village inn, but their expectations are quickly deflated by the less than perfect reality of their lodgings. The husband, who happens to be a lawyer, uses their experiences with grumpy innkeepers, bad food, and other annoyances as a way to teach his wife about the history and laws relating to hotels and inns. Their funny interactions and disagreements reveal the often-uncomfortable truths about hospitality while they navigate the ups and downs of hotel life.
