How did this mess ever become a series?
Much of the problems with this series center around the Host Lindsey. She is one of those perky people who focus on the most superficial issues, while totally ignoring the actual substantive issues which cause small motels to struggle. She appears to have absolutely no personaal experiemce in actually running a motel.
She swoops in, and makes some incredibly contrived and totally impractical "i provements" all without doing anything substantial to remedy the actual problems the motel is facing.
This series needs to have someone with actual motel experience added to the team. And they als9 need a huge dose of practicality.
For example, in a recent episode set in Solvang California, the front of the hotel was a huge mud pit. The "solution" was to totally ignore the drainage issues causing the water to collect in the space. They slap a piece of artificial turf over the mess and call it an "outdoor space". That does not solve anything, it just temporarily hides the underlying issue.
The Magnolia Network should do a follow up with any motel "improved" by this group of people. Do a candid double check to see if the facility has had any lasting benefit.
