Selling rooms isn’t as easy as it seems, you have to book rooms, hire housekeepers, make breakfast, advertise and magage a staff of 25! It wasn’t long before I became a little overwhelmed with all these new endeavors. Also, knowing the Inn rooms needed a major face-lift and the finances it would take to make these changes added to the stress. All this, on top of running a busy restaurant.

After a long year of attempting to be a restaurant and Inn owner, I got a call from Gordon Ramsay’s team who said they wanted to help. I agreed to have Gordon come visit and the show was on. After a rough week we have recreated the River Rock Inn to be a comfortable stylish oasis in the heart of the Poconos. I am proud of what we have accomplished at the Inn and I am able to see forward to some of the things I always wanted to do in my life. It was Hotel Hell indeed, but it took Chef Ramsay to show me what I needed to do to get the Inn to the next level.
