The restaurant and hotel were both owned by Rauol. Rauol lost the place to the owners he bought from (they had a 2nd mtg) They lease out the bar and restaurant to Rauol and have the hotel (even tho Elena, his GF runs it)
I'm sure they are extremely happy to have the extra business. I haven't seen it this crowded for 4 consecutive days in a long time. But I do hope that Karakters gets their act together and opens soon.
