Parents need to know that although this British reality series about a high-profile hotelier who tries to help struggling bed and breakfast owners revamp their inns is pretty mild overall, it probably won't appeal to most kids. Expect occasional strong language (like "piss" and "f--k," the latter of which is bleeped); hotel staff and guests are also sometimes shown drinking and smoking.
Positive messages:The show doesn't send particularly strong messsages (either positive or negative), but it does sympathetically highlight the difficult nature of the hotel business and many of the challenges that hotel owners must face in order to successfully run their business.
Positive role models:The show's hostess is no-nonsense in her opinions and delivery, but it's clear that she genuinely wants to help the people she's mentoring.
Violence:Occasional mild arguments between Watson and hotel owners.
A bit of fun and education for entrepreneurs and travelers
'The Hotel Inspector' is a refreshing find! I am an
American who has traveled extensively and can relate
to this show for many reasons: as a trip down memory
lane, for entrepreneurial insight and as delightful
entertainment that is witty, clever and full of interpersonal dynamics including Ruth's own rye sense
of delivery and summation. Love it!
