...Hotel de Love--an establishment as cheesy as its linguistically confused name--this is the story of two fraternal twins, Rick (Aden Young) and Stephen (Simon Bossell), who suddenly encounter the object of their long-lost high school obsession, Melissa (Saffron Burrows), at the hotel. A lonely stockbroker, Stephen finally sees a chance to express his love for the girl he never had, while Melissa is desperately trying to rekindle the romance with her bookish fiance.
