And at the same time, she must go about her other duties at the hotel almost all of which involve spells, enchantment, and drama of one kind or another. Helping her are many fun and funny hotel employees, all of them with magic running through their veins too. The Maynard is a unique, special hotel where the strange and mystical come to stay.
