Plot
[edit]Various guests come to the Love Hotel, each seeking love, connection, or simply an escape from loneliness. Known as a beautiful and ideal place to spend February 14th, the hotel opens its doors to those looking to make Valentine’s Day special.
Among the guests are former classmates reuniting for the first time in 40 years, rekindling old feelings as they gather in the hotel restaurant. Meanwhile, a jealous husband searches every room on the floor, determined to find his wife, who has mysteriously stopped responding to his calls. Elsewhere, a private detective and his client conduct a covert operation using eavesdropping devices to expose the woman’s unfaithful husband.
A housekeeper, an immigrant from Uzbekistan, faces a difficult choice between love for her boyfriend and a cash offer from his mother to return home.
