Hotel de Love is a pleasant and sometimes funny film, without being completely satisfying. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen Holden
Hotel de Love, the directing and screenwriting debut of Craig Rosenberg, is like a Valentine's Day box of heart-shaped chocolates that all have the same too-sweet cherry fillings. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
It's glossy, dumb fun that is diverting enough but forgotten 20 minutes after it's over. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleRuthe Stein
Unfortunately, Hotel de Love also has all the originality of an all-purpose valentine. First- time filmmaker Craig Rosenberg appears to have seen every relationship movie ever made. To his credit, he borrowed only from the best. Read full review

The young stars are attractive and capable, but Hotel de Love is as synthetic as an old "Love Boat" episode. Read full review

Writer/director Craig Rosenberg is no master of subtlety -- in fact, he seems to have only two settings, whacking excess and treacly pathos -- and the film is awash in ponderous whimsy. Read full review

This is billed as a romantic comedy, but it's much more boring than funny. Read full review
