I, not only, enjoyed this movie, I enjoyed seeing some of favorite actors as well. Sheryl Lee Ralph: Dreamgirls, It's a Living, and Moesha, Telma Hopkins: Tony Orlando and Dawn, Gimme A Break, Family Matters, and William Allen Young: A Soldier's Story and Moesha.
I love everything about the movie..bianca putting pressure on erin..connor fell in love with erin but was disappointed because he thought she used him..the santa competion was nice too..the family store got back in biz n the town was happy again..erins parents brought a bit of xmas too..everybody did their part to make things happen and it was a great event at the end...welcome to the christmas hotel were the best words at the end..its a great family movie.wish ing there was a sequel to it...i didnt see any flaws at all..bianca was a bit short n abrupt in some scenes..but sheryl lee made up for it.
Corporate fixer goes back to her home town to make peace with town folks opposed to the evil empire. Besides being derivative, the premise is forced as are many of the other plot points. It's especially forced when Erin's brainstorm idea magically changes everyone's attitude instantly. The story just doesn't make sense. Like many of the other Christmas movies, the protagonists quest their way to reaching their stated goal, but I really didn't care. I didn't care about the hotel, and I didn't care about the obvious building romance. It's all just more of the same thing within nothing new or special.
The acting is poor, especially those playing Erin's parents and other supporting characters. Sets seemed cheap and uninspired especially when you consider that the Windsor hotel chain is supposed to be ultra high end.
Moreover, so many details during the movie belied the idea that this was an upscale hotel trying to impress investors with high end tastes and values. It goes beyond the fact that the hometown atmosphere Erin was promoting isn't really compatible with those high end values. Christmas movies so often rely on DIY mentality and this movie does the same while creating the hotel infrastructure and getting it ready to open. That isn't high end.
Logistical details in the climax are clumsy and forced. So much in the movie was as if the writers never bothered to learn anything at all about their subjects. Also, I couldn't get over how consistently Erin exhibited childish and unprofessional behavior in the face of her boss.
In a Christmas romance, there is always the question of chemistry between the leads. Good chemistry often goes a long way toward compensating for faults in the story.I don't think these leads had enough screen time developing chemistry, at least I didn't see it.
As the movie builds toward climax, the plot followed the exact same patterns as so many other Christmas movies. There was nothing new. Nothing special. The viewer could almost predict each and every plot progression as it happened. I make much of the derivative, unoriginal, and clumsy plot. I realize that with only a few refreshing exceptions, most of the Christmas movies are going to be that way. But in this case it is a matter of degree. This movie seemed to me that it was extreme in that regard.

Christmas Hotel (2019) -
The basic concept of this film was strange to start with. The hotel was already in the town, so it was unclear what the locals were moaning about? New management really wouldn't change things for the town that much and in the end they did only change for the better.
However they would never have been allowed to go off brand. Their hotels would all have to serve the same food and look identical. The corporate business world hates unique identities which is usually where the issues in these films come from, so it was a tough one to buy this time. It would be lovely to think that a corporation would be so freely happy to adapt to the area instead of the other way around, but that really only does happen in films.
It wasn't bad overall though and I would say that it was probably the best that I've seen from Tatyana Ali since she was in 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air' (1990-6), because some of her other Christmas films have been terrible and over the top.
Time did move quite fast with this one though. From a hotel that needed lots of work to being up and running seemed to take just a matter of days.
There were also some of the bad film decisions made again, with their "Teacher", who could not have been old enough to have taught them, even at college, unless he was 12.
And while the tree looked better than they normally do, it wasn't the same "Real" one that they were supposedly buying in a previous scene.
So while there were issues and it was hard to believe, there were also some elements that made it nice. I don't think that it's one that I would bother with again though, but I wouldn't say it was so bad that I would warn people to avoid it like some of the others I've seen.
4/10.

Once the over-acting parents appeared on the scene, that pretty much did it, and set the tone for the rest of the film. I have seen better acting in amateur productions, and these are professionals !!!! Maybe for many it was their first role as they left acting school, but some were so wooden they would be better of taking up carpentry as a career. The script didn't help, so zero points for the scriptwriters.
In essence, not worth staying in for.
