The Stranger within our gates




To Our Guests 

In Ancient times there was a prayer for 
"the stranger within our gates." 

Because this hotel is a human institution to serve people, and not solely a money-making organization, we hope that you will be granted peace and rest while you are under our roof.  

May this room and hotel be your "second home." May those you love be near you in thoughts and dreams. 

 Even though we may not get to know you, we hope that you will be comfortable and happy as if you were in your own home. 

May the business that brought you our way prosper.  


May every call you make and every message you receive add to your joy.  When you leave, may your journey be safe.

We are all travelers.  From "birth till death" we travel 
between the eternities.  May these days be pleasant for you, 
profitable for society, helpful for those you meet, 
and a joy to those who know and love you best..

May the business that brought you our way prosper.  May every call you make and every message you receive add to your joy.  When you leave, may your journey be safe.

We are all travelers.  From "birth till death" we travel  between the eternities.  May these days be pleasant for you, profitable for society, helpful for those you meet, and a joy to those who know and love you best. 

I must say, there is nothing like returning home and sleeping in my own bed.  But when I travel, it's nice to see this prayer as something to provide a little bit of comfort on the road.

What do you do when you travel to provide yourself some comfort when away from home?
