This latest comedy-drama from Pearl Magic follows the chaotic world of Jack, a hotel owner whose "dedication" to his business could use a little, well… definition. Jack’s got exactly zero business savvy, but he's got plenty of wild schemes and a knack for mischief. This hotel is hanging by a thread, but Jack’s got just enough tricks to keep it afloat. Will his antics work out? Who knows! But one thing’s for sure: you’ll be in stitches.

Now, let’s talk about the real stars—Jack's eccentric staff! First, there's Chef Steve. Imagine a guy so charming he could melt butter just by smiling at it, and his cooking is even better. Steve’s dishes are practically hypnotic, especially for the young ladies checking in. They might book a room for the beds, but they’re definitely staying for Chef Steve’s treats.

And then there's Ojoko, a.k.a. "OO"—the hotel’s self-proclaimed security master. OO takes his job more seriously than anyone else, armed with a glare that could stop a train. When he’s not ranting about the importance of "security as a pivotal element," he’s busy tackling "threats" like misplaced luggage and guests who dare to skip their tab. With OO on duty, you'd think this was a high-security vault.

Hotel Mara hilariously explores the quirky side of human nature. It’s got it all—drunken shenanigans, undercover love triangles, and enough crazy guest behavior to keep you glued to your seat. Each episode delivers a new set of eccentric characters, bringing a fresh batch of comedy and chaos.

Running Hotel Mara isn’t just a job; it’s a full-contact sport! Jack and his team tackle leaking pipes, power outages, and guests who wouldn’t pay if you handed them a bill wrapped in gold foil. But the staff keeps their heads held high (mostly out of necessity), relying on clever solutions and a sprinkle of luck to keep the place running—and, of course, keeping you laughing along the way.

Hotel Mara premieres Saturday, 16 November at 8:30 pm on Pearl Magic DStv Stream channel 161 and GOtv Stream channel 301.
